When you go to Youtube directly from your browser it pulls up the mobile version m.youtube.com
When you click a link through facebook- it takes you to the main site which does not work on the HD7 due to no flash.

its because facebook links to the desktop (www.) version of youtube, the youtube app adds support for the mobile (m.) version, when you click the facebook link you get directed to the desktop version as the app doesn't catch the link and redirect you to the mobile site.

You have to have both versions of the YouTube app installed. The version that came with the phone is what it tries to launch via links. The HTC version plays nicer quality vids.
So, I use the HTC version when I'm manually surfing YouTube, and the stock one installed so it will launch when I click a link.

except as pointed out by aaronhope1972 and myself the link catch doesn't work from 3rd party apps, which is what the OP was asking about. Personally I just wish they'd get flash ported and we'd not have this problem

Wow, had never tried that and just did.
Sucks.
Interestingly the People Hub Facebook integration part directs to m.youtube, which will subsequently work.

Thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated. Its a pity about that.

I am enjoying streaming goodness.
You have to download Flash in order for it to work.
You can also use vtap.com - has a rich client download that make searching and watching sweet.

I don't care.... whatever.... you the man! THIS WORKED! FINALLY!!!! I have tried 100 different suggestions and NEVER to they work. THIS WORKED FOR MY ATT TILT!
\
add one more happy vtap user to the list. i just decided to try it because of this thread and its pretty cool for what it does. and we have access to all of youtube as opposed to the iPhone users. sure, they may have the better interface, but i'll take the larger library
Vtap is great!! The only problem I have is, on the site, it shows a view of the desired video like the youtube site would show but when inside the application, it only has a decriptions without a picture. Is this how it is for the Tilt version?

This didn't work for me. I followed the steps and it didn't work using IE or Opera on my Tilt.

Me neither. I verified file associations within TCPMP. Notably, there's no 'Video Sites' shortcut in Programs.
Because in ATT ROM, real player is the default player for the PIE and it doesn't support youtube. since i flashed my tilt with HTC stock ROM, the default player is "streaming video" app which plays youtube video with no problem. i think there should be a way to change the default player in registery.
hm vtap is nice if it has what you are looking for, but i just did a search for a video that i had uploaded to youtube and it did not find it.

Just go to youtube.com on your cell, it will open "mobile youtube."
on the bottom of the page, click "classic view"
once there it should work with tcmd...
I installed the cab from this thread on my tilt and it worked. I can now stream videos from the m.youtube.com site.

You're all forgetting to add that it also picks up videos from other sites, like MetaCafe, Google and Yahoo! Video and many others. Plus Wikipedia on the vTap just murks (that's "murder" for the ones not in the know) every other application or dictionary that tries to give us a mobile version of it on WM phones.
But the good thing is that the FlashVideoBundle works well also, just in case you prefered not to use a separate application...
i have vtap installed but i rather use regular youtube.
vtap and mtube lower the quality of the videos
can someone pls post the vFlashVideoBundle.CAB in this thread so I dont have to reg at that site. thanks!

I found a site that plays Youtube videos on the Tilt/ HTC Kaiser!

Check out this site to watch Youtube videos (and other videos from around the net). I have tried programs to make Youtube work, but it won't. I found this search site which I can finally watch videos. Does any one else Know any sites where you can do this?
The mobile site is at m.vtap.com (they have a regular web based site at vtap.com too).

What build of Opera 9.5 do you have? I have build 1957 and flashlite 3.1 and it doesn't seem to work on youtube. Thanks.
My Tilt plays youtube videos just fine, and on the regular website, not the mobile one.
I use PIE, have TCPMP with the flash media bundle installed within TCPMP's directory.
When I click on a video, TCPMP asks to play or save the videos... and it works perfectly. My Tilt came with the offical 6.1, I hard reset the ROM and got rid of the bloatware. It's easy.
I wonder if m.vtap.com works with my setup?

I'm using the same version it's the one ripped from Omnia. Hmm that's strange i've tried it on two seperate roms and it have worked. Did yougo through the thread on Flashlite 3.1 I'm sure you will find some answers there or try it out on clean rom.

I've just tried a app. called Fewidget it needed flash player 7 to work. After installing FP 7 youtube stopped working on Opera. Even uninstallation of Flash Player 7 didn't help. I had to soft reset to get it working again...so maybe you have or had flash player 7 installed on your phone?

Upload video to youtube from your pocket pc (if you can send email)

Hey,
If you guys want an easy way of sending a video to youtube, check out http://tubeseries.net/welcome.aspx
Once you register, you can get an email address you send videos to. Once a video is sent, the site will upload it to youtube for you, using the subject of the email as the title and the body as the description.
Once uploaded, you get back an email giving you the link to the newly updated video.
This is still alpha!!! My suggestion to you is to create a secondary youtube account to use this with.
I just use Qik. It allows live streaming from your phone as well, and automatic posting to many different video serving sites, including youtube.
I use qik too for certain things.
The problem is that you get much worse fps with qik because it does everything online. It also takes longer to set up and requires a better connection where as here you can take the videos even when there's no connection and fire-and-forget them via email.
I think monx®, is trying to port that function from the Touch HD or MAX4G into his ROM.
You should be able to upload both to Facebook and youtube.
I don't think that the function is up and running just yet, bu follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=451748
This is pretty cool, but already exists standard with Youtube accounts.
Go to http://www.youtube.com/account#mobile/profile and it will give you an email address to send to that auto uploads. I've been using this for a while and it works pretty well.
But I also second the Qik recommendation - I've been really impressed with the ease of use and the quality of live streaming, not to mention the immediate upload ability. Really, really cool.
Plus, you can autosyndicate to Facebook through both Qik and Youtube.
i use shozu: http://www.shozu.com/portal/tour.do?operation=where
when you take a pic or video, you can either choose to auto upload it or have a dialog come up asking you if you want to upload it to many sites...
Oh, yes it works. You use HTC Album to select whet to upload, tested .

Qik with working video chat

Here is a copy of QIK that works with video chat for the Viewsonic G Tablet
This apk was taken from from Samsung Galaxy Tab by Rothnic -- it is version 0.4.04.
I have tested this on the G Tablet use CM6.1 beta 4
I tested it with the qik that is on my evo.. the video quality had a lot to be desired.. the video quality that is broadcast over the net onto the phone looked good.. the video from the phone to the tablet looked way too zoomed.. it had a lot of artifacts.. looked like a really bad bootleg cam release
Anyhow.. thanks rothnic for the rip.. happy to have something to play with / add to my collection of working apps.
http://www.rickstoyroom.com/r2/Qik-gtab-videochat.apk ** Right click > Save as
It saves as a .zip file for me. Do I just rename it .apk??
Newbie to the G-Pad

Saved as Qik-gtab-videochat.apk for me so maybe try to download it again..
Link dead.
Does this work with the new tegra driver update? The built-in cam app no longer works so I'm guessing Qik won't get camera to work either.
I was able to get Yahoo Messenger Video Calling to work, but it's not consistent at all.
Using CM6.1B4, and restored the Yahoo app and Video add on from a Titanium Backup from my Evo.
If anybody gets this working, please let me know what tweaks you used to do it.
THANKS!

I want to download this but the link is STILL dead.
Link works fine.. its sitting on my personal web server.. so I know for a fact that it is up.
Link works, but .zip and not .apk. No .apk inside either...
Downloaded and installed direct from my gtab (TnT Lite). Zero issue. Thanks for the upload!
Worked first try for me. Thanks
I played around with this a few weeks ago. How are you "video" chatting? I only saw the ability to send a video to your "qik" web page for others to watch and at that it had a 10-20 second delay.

I think you are using a different version of Qik. There are several versions out and you need to have the one from the Galaxy tab to have the video chat working.
What is the version #? I have 1.6. 1.89, and 2.60
downlowded from your link. Thanks.. working now
But, you can only video chat with someone who has qik on their "front facing camera" phone? You can not chat with another gtablet user on wifi correct?

You can video chat with anyone with Qik installed and a front facing camera. Doesn't matter if it is on wifi or not. I used Qik to chat with my wife from my gtab to her gtab. It sucked. Very unstable. Nothing like Skype from laptop to laptop.

The link isn't dead... scroll to the top and click the link to the right of "View Full version"...
Stupid work thinks the link points to a *games* site and won't let me download. Probably because the URL has toy in it.

That happens sometimes, just rename to apk.

Installing Instagram/Facebook/Twitter?

Hey everyone, I read around the forum and some people mentioned that apps that require internet connectivity cannot be installed on the Gear.
However, I watched a review by Flossy Carter on Youtube ( youtube.com/watch?v=TAybMM3BBwA ) and by the end of the video you can clearly see that he installed Instagram, Facebook and Twitter on his gear! Anyone know how he did that?
I haven't bought a Gear yet but if this can be done I'm definitely getting one soon!
I watched the same video he wasn't on the internet you CAN install it but not use it

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Facebook wouldn't have even opened if there weren't internet connectivity. I'm a right?
Yes it will open Floss wasn't signed in that's the screen he was on same with instagram your app will load(open) but zero function (no internet)

That's a shame I was really looking forward to getting one. So, there's no workaround for this, even in the future?
We can only hope...I'm still loving the watch rooted side loading apps its great!
