Need some developers help!

I have the Zip file for the mobile youtube app but cant get it to work. I would greatly appreciate it if some developers and others to see if you can get it to work and post how.
im using the sprint mogul
with 3.35 official rom
It installs fine but when i try to run it briefly flashes the connecting page the goes to error "sorry youtube only works on phones with larger screens"
i hope someone can get this to work it looks like a good switch from tcpmp thanks in advance
O heres a screenshot of the error i get
50 views and not one reply? This app looks that hard to get working? Well i would like if someone felt like helpin... But maybe its too hard for even those great devs
i am no developer , but if all u want is watching youtube videos on your PoketPC try searching Google for vTap
can u plz send me the Software..i will have a look at it (PM the link to me)
thanks the0ne and ather90 for your replies... but this thread is obviously going nowhere so at least how do you close a thread? Or is this done by site managers if so i request u close the thread so it doesnt waste space.

Isn't coreplayer shareware? this is free from youtube and doesn't require a browser to be open jus the app, thats my prob wit tcpmp is it only works with PIE i use netfront wich isnt compatible this app would bypass my need to open PIE by jus opening the app and search.

WM6 Flash player/lite Htc touch

HI,
I want to start itask, but there comes a mistake. I need a flashplayer, but the version 7 did not work. What can i do????
Is there a Download for Flash Lite 3?
Flash Player for Wm6?
Help me please..
Flash player
I have the same problem....htc touch....
Wow, rhov23 talks about this in the very first post of the the iTask thread, which I'm sure you've read all the way through...
I won't tell you what program you're talking about because all that will do is discourage searching in the future. I pointed you in the right direction, go search.
Hi Azimuth , I have been trying for months to get flash player to work, I tried Htc streaming media player, Vtap, as well as Tcmp. I wasn'y happy with any of them..I just want my Pie to be able to play flash files embedded into the web sites. I tried to search the post you mentioned above but I still don't understand... is it the one with 108 pages? If you can, can you make it a bit clearer for me? I don't understand what iTask is as I am a neewbie at these moblie applications. Were you referring to this iTask download? It doesn't seem that this is for me. Thanks for your post but I am still lost. I found another post but it was way to complicated for me to change the registry, etc. Hope you can help.
Thanks in advance,
Shelley
alright, even though OP doesn't deserve to be told what the application is, what he was looking for is Flash Lite v2.1, in order to use iTask (btw, READ THE FIRST POST OF ITASK, IT IS TALKED ABOUT).
What you are looking for is currently impossible. There is nothing that will show embedded videos from places like YouTube (embedded as in right in the browser), except for Skyfire, which is just slow and choppy so it doesn't count. The closest thing is FlashVideoBundle 1.4.4
That's all I'm telling you, you're going to have to search for it (searching is easier than making a new post/thread, keep that in mind).
wm6 flash player
Hi Azimuth, thanks for your reply. I have already tried tcmp with the flash bundle you mentioned, but was not satisfied. I am not particularly interested in playing youtube videos or being limited to the sites outlined in that program. You said what I am looking for is impossible but if it worked, wouldn't adobe's flash player 7 for ppc do exactly what I am looking for! Play flash files embedded into web sites? Unfortunately for some reason it loads but doesn't work. I appreciate your input very much and believe me I have been searching to the point that I see double...lol. Take care and if you have any other insights please do not hesitate. Thanks again, Shelley

What you want is not possible.
Technically embedded Flash works with Flash Player 7, but the problem is Flash Player 7 is so outdated, everyone uses more advanced versions of flash, and therefore, they do not work on our phone. There is only one website that I know of that works: homestarrunner.com
skyfire works perfectly on my phone...not choppy at all and will play everything i have thrown at it so far
Thanks
Well, I would like to thank all of you for taking the time to respond, I really appreciate it. Thanks for clarifying things as well as your insight and suggestions. All of this was very helpful. Sincerely, Shelley
What a waste of time
Why would take the time to reply to a message for legitimate question and tell them to run a search. Most people have ran searches and not found anything and that's why they are posting a thread. I for one have problems with finding a flash player that works. At one point in time I found one for my touch (running WM6.1) then did a hard reset and can't find it anymore.
I have tried FlashvideoBundle, Adobe flash 7 for ppc phones, Streaming media and others with no luck.
With WM6 flashvideobundle was awsome. Skyfire is decent but doesn't have the option to save videos or play them in TCMP.
Any help would be appreciated, but if your gonna tell me to do a search, don't waste your time (I search every day for about an hour at work). Seems WM6.1 is killing me.
Flash for PPC doesn't work any longer, because of what Azimuth21 explained
there are 2 flavors of flash,
- Flash Player, which allows you to run swf files form the phone
- Flash Lite 2.1, which is used by the/a browser
Adobe has created a new version of Flash Lite version 3.1, this one does
play nice with most websites, unfortunately it only works with the newest Opera builds, not with PIE..the new Pocket Internet Explorer will though..
Downloading the video's is not possible because they are embedded,
use WebVideoDownloader for that (it's buggy though)
Hope it helps, but you could've found this using the search
Flash works with skyfire, opera 9.5(new builds) and internet explorer 6, so far it works best with skyfire imho.but not great there either.

Thank you Mr. Gee for your input, but I did figure out how to get flash to work and save the videos to my phone. Maybe you can run a search and then you will know how to. Hope this Helps!

care to share your find with us? I've been looking everywhere but haven't been successful so far. tried flash 7, flash lite 3.1 and still nothing
this is a dead thread, the last reply was 5 months ago...
anyway he probably meant the tcpmp plugin, it allowed you to click a link in pie
and a popup would ask you wat to do with the file, e.g. play or save
search the dev & hacking forum for the cab file

Designer desperately seeking developer to create TF3D RSS Reeder

As a frequent RSS user I still didn't find an RSS Reader which uses the snappy interface and touch friendly buttons of TF3D. So I created some screens hoping an enthusiastic developer feels challenged to create an ultimate RSS reader for TF3D.
Some requirements should be:
Import feeds from OPML file and/or sync with Google Reader
Update All, Update Channel or update Feed seperately (conveniant when using roaming abroad)
Auto update (every .. minutes/hours/days) and notify when new items arrive
... And more
A great wish would be to add the program in the tab structure in TouchFlo.
So the big question is: Which developer feels the urge to create this baby????
If someone feels this urge, I will make more screens, but I first want to know if there's somebody out there who wants to help me...
Hmm that's a good idea, especially love the "sync with google reader" part, browsing google reader on opera mobile is just plain madness.!
Love to see this becoming a real program! Hope someone will help you out nielsepiels!
yeah ! good idea !
Hi,
I'm waiting for it....
BYE, Bobo
hopefully it will become true..i know people in this forum are genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really good idea!!!

Got my vote too - I could offer my services beta testing on my AT&T Fuze - I would definitely donate for this - Heck, I'll give someone a few bucks as soon as i see a beta!
same.. i would def donate some money for this, was thinking of something like this the other night.
anythings better than RSS Hub - buggy as hell with its constant freezes
maybe this is the right place to post it.......i would love to develop such an application (and other tf3d plugins) but i didnt find any documentation on tf3d development so far......the only thread where someone asked for a documentation is only available in google-cache with no answer posted....
maybe you guys or someone who reads this thread do know where to find tf3d-dev-docs...
thx!

TF3D is developed in Lua. D-MAN666 is one of the few guys who knows how to edit TF3D and develop TF3D applications, like his calendar application.
@ Nielsepiels & Mandragore: THX!!
wow, this looks cool. would be awesome if you could code this app. and props to the thread starter, nice screens!
I think we need more threads like this. that way we get more finger friendly and nice looking apps!
Hi guys , i'm sure it's a very useful idea.
I'm thinking about coding this (i'am learning on mobile coding) , waiting for any suggestion , so let's go for making this cool stuff.
ps: sorry for my bad english ;-)
Came across this thread and thought it was worth reviving
There was a thread about this a long long time ago, but I think people just forgot about it. Its such a good idea - and yet HTC havent even mentioned any RSS enhancements for the new version of TF3D on Diamond2, etc :s. I hope someone can make this - they would definately get a donation from me for it
Upping this to see if there are any developments.
I wonder if the email tab on TF3D can be "tweaked" to receive RSS headlines instead of sending and receiving from an email account?
I'm going to try and found out how that tabs is put together it might offer some ideas.
I'd love to be able to flick through the headlines/stories from my favourite feeds like you do with text messages or even better have a "ticker" running across the screen with the latest news..... that would be cool

Best internet browser and apps?

HI,
I read somewhere on here about the different internet browsers and how some don't display flash etc, and there was a browser recognised by most as the best. Can anyone tell me the name and where I might find the cab? I've tried both internet explorer and opera. Don't like internet explorer, doesn't seem to display things right, and the pinch zoom doesn't seem to work. I've found opera OK though.
Also where can I find all the best games and apps for the HD2? I've been into the application section and information is all over the place. Is it just a matter of sifting through it all? Or is there somewhere similar to an app store, or microsoft's marketplace where it's easy to find what you want, but aren't paying the ridiculous price of the marketplace?
If anyone can point me in the direction of a solitaire app/cab I'd be very grateful
Hi

By the way I use a skyfire/opera combo Opera for day to day and skyfire for anything that requires flash or silverlight it's got quite a good implementation of the two but not an everyday browser (imho) you may like it though just google for it. If your looking for apps that are free check out freewarepocketpc.net you will have to sift through a fair few apps there but you can search for what your after just try and check that wvga is a supported resolution for the app as some will look terible.
In terms of games experiment 13, electopia and xtract are pretty good you can find experiment 13 and xtract on freewarepoketpc.net. Electopia you'll have to get from the developers site.
Happy hunting

Fully integrated youtube!!!!!

If your like me one of the few features that I've been jealous of on the iphone and droids ( booo) is integrated youtube. When they receive a youtube link via text or email it opens up their youtube player. Not the web browsers.
It took a while for me to get it working right but now we have it too!!!!
Check out my post on ppcgeeks

Works perfect! The speed could be faster, but I guess that's a HTC Youtube issue, because this C++ program is very small! Would you mind if I cook this into my roms?
Thanks for your great work!
Very nice!
You posted this on ppcgeeks:
Actually even if you dont have the htc youtube app you can benefit from this app. Whenever you click on a youtube link it will open the mobile version of youtube in your browser. In other words if your receive a link http://www.youtube.com/watch........... it will convert then open the link Http://m.youtube.com/watch...........
Is it possible to play this link in youtube without converting it to the mobile version of youtube? Because a lot of video's are blocked in m.youtube so you can't watch it on your mobile. They work if I play them in the brower with the normal link.

Please Clarify, I'm not sure what you mean. What I meant was for those without the HTC youtube app, they can still benefit from the app that I made. Because in order to play youtube videos via RTSP ( core player or streaming media player ) you have to open up the mobile youtube website and this app does that automatically when it detects that you dont have the youtube player

Although your more then welcome to cook it into your rom, I ask that you please do not share the cab directly, instead point to the thread.
Secondly, give me a shot out in your thread.

By the time the youtube app starts my app has already closed and is not! running in the backround, so the slowdown is all HTC's fault
I have no idea what it means to "cook away", but from the another part of your question I understood that I'm welcome to cook it xD
I have a link to my rom thread in my signature, so you're welcome to look into it.
Again, many thanks for that genius program.

Hey Jackos
I think we might have had a translation issue, when I said "Cook Away!!" I meant that you're more the welcome to cook it into your rom. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
I only ask that you give me a mention in your roms thread. Good Luck, thanks for taking the time to bless us with your ROMS
Haven't tested this yet but I'm going to test this today. If this works, it'll revolutionize how we experience Youtube on our devices. I'm sick of Opera trying to open the videos by itself and then failing miserably.

An email with a youtube link opens up the youtube player which is great. But, other html links do nothing. Your program may not play well with jzbrowser mortsript which when an email html hyperlink is clicked allows selection among multiple browsers and then places the clicked link into the browser's url go textbox.
Can you modify your program to work with jzbrowser mortscript app?
Thanks.

Im not trying to be difficult or anything but I think it would be a benefit to others who are like myself who dont like to go to a hundred different sites for info.

Yeah, and it's not just that. I don't think it would make since for me to register with a message board when I'm just going there to get one app. I'd probably never return to that site unless there was someting there that I needed.
