Youtubeplay - .flv Player for Windows Mobile Devices
If you are using device that runs on Windows Mobile and have unlimited data tariff, you probably would want to watch YouTube videos on it. I have T-Mobile Touch Plus (HTC Touch Dual) and default player cannot play YouTube videos.
I have tried contacting T-Mobile customer services but they said that this is a known issue and there is no resolution in near future.
After googling and looking around in forums I cam across youtubeplay player in xda-developers.com website. I decided to try it out and it works perfectly! You can search YouTube for videos or watch .flv files stored on your phone. You need to install .net runtime which can be downloaded from Microsoft website. Check here for more details.
Playback is smooth and clear, sound is excellent as well. My device doesn’t have Wi Fi support, but downloads via T-Mobile HSDPA are fast enough for playback.
You can download it here.
If you like this player, you can donate to developer here.
29 May 2008 UPDATE:
After using this player for a few days, I found a problem where if your video plays untill the end, whole program freezes and you can’t do anything. You cannot go back to the list of videos, you have to kill program and start again. Controls are not very responsive as well, like Pause or Stop buttons.
If you know any other better .flv player, share with us!
