how to play video on you tube

hi again guys.need ur help again... why is it that there's no picture appearing when I play tcpmp. there is a sound though.. its says " video codec (H.263) is not supported by the player.

It sounds like your video filter is missing.  try adding your mp4codec  and if you can google search for tcpmp 6 and there should be an ac3 filter and an mp4 codec filter to add via hotsync   or did I get that from the r7.2 tcpmp?  I can't even remember. 

If you add the filters and it still isn't working it might be that the video is not encoded in a format useable by the player. 

What kind of file are you playing?  mp4, mp1, or avi?

You might need a proper converter.  I think someone mentioned one earlier.



Still confused-- Go to
TCPMP

download player 6.6 which will have or should have all the codecs filters you need. 


Before installing this app-  Delete Current tcpmp application in your unit. (I'm not sure if the one you have has all the files, there are some nice things about the newer versions, but the old one works on more video files - at least that is what I've found.)

Unzip the file
Put in the following prc codecs into your palm treo through the install tool

tcpmp.prc
tcpmp_aac_plugin.prc
tcpmp_ac3_plugin.prc
tcpmp_amr_plugin.prc
tcpmp_camera_plugin.prc
tcpmp_ffmpeg_plugin.prc
tcpmp_maktroska_plugin.prc
tcpmp_mp3_plugin.prc
tcpmp_mpc_plugin.prc
tcpmp_mp1_plugin.prc
tcpmp_mp4_plugin.prc

if you want to play .ogg files add the Ogg/Vorbis codecs.

The rest are for other players  Those codecs should all work fine in your treo and play the video.  I still find that my mp4 is a bit choppy.  I mostly play  . avi files

If interested in the different video formats please see wikipedia and search for video file formats.

No Problem.  Well it looks like the beta version is windows media 6- I'll check around to see if there is one for palm or not. ( I highly doubt it)
