ytpocket changed something. TCPMP plugin no longer works

Anonymous — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 03:44:15 -0000

Just try it. YouTube changed something around the end of October 2008. If you check out the YouTubePlay forums, you'll see that the creator had to make his own adjustments to get things back to working.

The error message that you get with TCPMP plugin is:

File not found!

TCPMP is rendered unusable for watching YouTube videos until the plug-in is updated to handle YouTube's recent changes.

Ignores Install on Memory Card

Anonymous — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 12:41:22 -0000

The Version 0.43 downloaded on August-2nd-2008 ignores the selected Installation path and installes itself on the Pocket PC instead, even if TCPMP is installed on the SD Memory CARD.

Can´t play c´t-TV

Hi,
thanks for the great plugin. It works fine with youtube stuff, but with my favorite computer television magazin (http://www.heise.de/ct/tv/) it just shows a black screen. A example link to one file is: http://balancer.streamfarm.net/tv1/cms/~kunde/~hronline_flv/fs/ctmagazin/070623ganzesendung.flv
(180 MB)

Is this an other subformat? Is an patched plugin planned?

"Invalid returned link!"

Hello,
awesome project! I've been looking for such an app already for a while, and now it's here! Unfortunately the YouTube download itself doesn't work for me. I'm getting on the PC (XP) and PDA-side (WM5)always "Invalid returned link!", no matter how I do create the "Video ID".

Google has exactly 4 hits at this point in time, if one searches for "Invalid returned link!", three are Japanase, and one is Spanish. As far as I understood the Spanish link, it only describes how to create a "Video ID", but that's how I did it anyway.
Is really the link, that returns from YouTube invalid, or is the link I'm providing invalid?
And how can I provide a valid link?
A few lines about it (somewhere) would be really great.

Great project,
keep it up!

Regards,
Andreas

memory leak on WM2003SE

Anonymous — Wed, 30 May 2007 19:35:47 -0000

Using YouTubeDownload.exe I am seeing RAM drop by the same volume as is the filesize being downloaded. I have selected \SD Card\My Documents\video as the save location, and all FLV files are correctly downloading to that location. Still, Storage Memory is vanishing fast, causing problems for other running apps (such as nPOPuk, TotalCommanderCE...). If I clear the Pocket IE cache I get the RAM back. In one example, I downloaded a 39MB FLV. RAM dropped by 42MB. I tried closing nPOPuk to save RAM, but got a file save error. Very rare.

It seems this 'plugin' is double-downloading the FLV files, writing to RAM as well as to SD memory. I normally have no memory issues on this Toshiba e830, where I keep at least 90MB RAM free. Looking into my cache folders in another test, I find a 940KB file called get_video[1] - renaming it to get_video.flv I am able to launch it in TCPMP 0.81 RC1, and it is identical to the file I just downloaded to the SD card.

By the way, I cannot find how to use this as a true plugin, only as a standalone downloader. Perhaps some documentation?

Seeking doesn't work

Hi Guys
This project is awesome, and if you guys can just fix this one problem, it would be perfect. I've tried it in both .72 and .81 versions of tcpmp and you can't seek in the videos. You have to watch it from the beginning. I also noticed that in the title bar it shows 0:21 for example but it doesn't show the total time like it does for other media (0:21/3:45 for example). I hope you guys can fix this. Thanks for a great project!
