Watching videos on t-mobile dash

WM6 WMP11 Video Fullscreen Problem
Whenever I choose to go into fullscreen while watching a video on windows media player... it turns the video sideways... so it's the correct viewing if you turn the phone to the right if you're holding it in front of you. any fix? this wasn't happening in the beta... i remember there being a fix for the mda... but u could always change the orientation of the mda...
help? thanks!

i've had the same problem wondering if anyone knows the tips to fix it! appreciated!

I started 2 other treads about this issue at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305020
and also in HF:

I'll let you know if I find a solution for it.

yeah man, please let me know if you find a fix to this. no one else is having this problem? I'm using orb too btw... thanks!

I'm having the same issue. WM6 downloaded off T-Mobile's site for the Dash. Win Media player orients fullscreen video vertically.

It only happens with streaming video. If you play a local video (storage card) in full screen it works fine.

question about Video!!
is it possible to view videos on websites such as youtube on wm6? I don't see why it isn't possible just was wondering if im not seeing the correct method to it???

Regular videos can be viewed no problem, are you having issues with them? YouTube uses flash to display the movies, so it's a little different. You can try downloading the Flash Player Lite :

I haven't tried it on the Dash, but you'll need something like that to watch YouTube videos. Backup your Dash before installing as always. Good luck!!

I don't think anyone's been able to get youtube to work on the Dash yet. The FlashLite adobe product only works for sites that are explicitely written to take advantage of it...and the number of sites any of us has ever found that do that: zero.
You can stream in and/or download videos from tinytube.net. That site seems to be some sort of proxy that reads/converts video from youtube into a format that can be viewed on the Dash. Works well.

getwsted at HF found a solution for the screen rotation issue:
Add the following Key "Rotation" under HKLM\System\GDI\
e.g. [HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation]
Then Add this dword.
"LandscapeMode"=0
It solved my problem with Orb and other Videos with WMP in full screen mode.

Glad you found it -- if you'd attempted a quick search here, you'd find that info had been posted weeks ago, and, you're just a quick search away from a wealth of info on how to edit the registry.

i searched, and still cant find out how to do registry edits. i'm really not interested in doing registry edits, just that one to fix the landscape thing, so if somebody could please put a step by step directions on how to do it, i'd appreciate it. btw, i just downloaded total commander, thanks
omar

ok, i'm playing around with total commander, and i found HKLM\System\GDI\. so wat do i do now? do i scroll down in that folder to the add value selection? or do i go to file and then edit? and where do i add the landscape=0 thing? under that new folder that i just made, rotation? and do i put it as:
"landscapemode"=0 or landscapemode=0? thanks guys
omar

this cab will install the registry entry

you tha man, thanks a lot

problem with playing videos on dash
hey guys, for some reason my dash cant play videos that i add through media player. any videos on there right now play fine, but when i try to open a video i just put on the storage card (through active sync), it says: cant find "name of file" make sure the path and filename are correct and that all the required libaries are available.
anybody know how to fix this? thanks...
btw, when looking at the file on file explorer, the symbol for it it is a white paper with a flapping window inside...

You want help? Give us more info...
* What are you using to watch youtube videos? Somebody tell me if I´m wrong but, you can´t watch youtube videos with the rom only. You need an app to do that.
Here are some...
1 - Skyfire
2 - Youtube.cab - It lags a lot...
3 - Coreplayer - I use this one!
* What connection are you using? Wi-fi?
Sometimes connection is too slow to stream the video.
So... give us more info so you can get a better help....
Regards.

Thanks Joe, I just mentioned the Rom because I thought it might have something to do with it. I'm using wi-fi and I'm loading video using the youtube program from google, I'm assuming that's the youtube.cab ? I've been test playing the same video and it seems like the video freezes briefly at around the same times everytime. Skyfire seems to be working but the screen goes blank momentarily throughout a viewing. Coreplayer, I haven't tried but I'm assuming clicking a link on youtube would open up the player to play a video? I'm hoping there's a better way because that sounds more memory intensive. Thanks in advance for whatever help I can get.

Okay the YouTube official app is a sham and judders even on a Kaiser with extra grunt, skyfire is going though a server so all depends on that, CorePlayer will play anything thrown @ it, RTSP of YouTube is good quality... Not exactly memory intensive

I think you should give CorePlayer a try... the youtube.cab (from m.youtube.com) sucks. If you are going to try CorePlayer, it has its own youtube search engine built in. You do not search using a browser, you do it using CorePlayer.
I hope it helps.

How do you use the search engine in Coreplayer? I can't seem to find that in Coreplayer.

Video full screen S9

Hello everyone!.. I recently bought my new S9 phone so i have a question about it.. before S9, i had S7 and I assume that I have installed some apk with what I could watch any video in full screen.. (not just youtube).. now i want that same apk (or some twerk) for same purpose.. althought, with that apk or whatever that was, when i watched any video on the internet, the purple floating button appeared on the screen.. by clicking it, it opened a "menu".. maybe someone have any idea what that apk is? Thx in advance..

You don't need a tweak or apk to watch videos in fullscreen, you can do that anyway
