If you'd like I know of a good site that has TV shows, movies, stand-up all that you can stream to your phone for free let me know and shoot me a PM and I'll share the link.

put it in your 'public' folder and send the .mov link to your phone.

You Tube Download For Wm Smartphones And PocketPC

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE ALL NEW HTC STREAMING MEDIA PLAYER UPGRADE VERSION, NOW WITH HIGHER VIDEO RESOLUTION OUALIYTY WITH LIVE DIRECT ACCESS TO http://m.youtube.com , THE DOWNLOAD IS LOCATED AT POST NUMBERS {78}, AND {85}! You can now watch YouTube videos live direct access on your wm6 smartphone!
Does it Work!
Has anybody got this to work?
The way you reading it is wrong ... up till now ... we have no way of LIVE watching from youtube ...
the plugin is just a plugin that let TCPMP interpret a FLV file ... this does not let you view youtube LIVE in your device's browser at all .. LOL
it's simple ...really ...
basically it's just a plugin that let you play FLV file format with TCPMP ...
you don't really need that downloader since there are many site online that let you paste a youtube link and among other sites that shows flash clip in FLV format ..
now that you have the plugin for TCPMP ( transfer the *.plg file into TCPMP's directory ) ... all you have to do now is transfer that "FLV" file to your device and open it with TCPMP. ( you still have to download it first though ... )
just google for "youtube download" and you will find sites that let you download the FLV file

I already got TCPMP ... all I needed was the FLV plugin ... that's it !!!

Develop app for movie site

Hey everyone,
i m looking for someone to develop an application that is some what of a video player. I want the app to list all the movies on the website then allows you to play them with a full screen video player. You kno like when u click a video from youtube and it opens a nice fulo screen? Also l, how it lists all the contents of the site...
I would post all types of movies from 2010 to whatever.
As far as payment.. i will sharw half of the profits with the develiper. I will pay the cost for the server, etc.
I would like a multi-platform app, but i will settle for android for now.
You can call me at 347 SNAKE16 or simply reply to this post.....
Thx
Suggestions and commments are also welcomed...
*This was posted from my Sprint Evo 4G cell phone using Tapatalkpro! *
I hope you arent planning on trying to make an app / server to sell or rent movies you download or even buy (unless it is a renters copy and have permission to stream or distribute digitally which would be a huge cost if you even could) etc. you will find yourself in big trouble really fast doing so.

Downloading Songs & Images Thru The Web Browser

I've been tweeting with a guy whos currently using wp7 and this is the info he gave me for anyone wondering about downloading from the web browser
@sedp23 you can definitely download pictures to the pictures hub. Not sure about audio yet. Let me try.
i gave him a link to try to download a song
@sedp23 ok, direct mp3 links download and play. But doesn't look like I can save them permanently to my library on the device.
@sedp23 yep I can play it on the device. But no option to save it.
@sedp23 yeah I guess it's downloading to some temporary location. Images you can tap and hold then select "save picture". Not mp3s.
now keep in mind he has a developers handset so maybe this might change come the final version but if the mp3 is downloading and playing on the device im sure there has to be some kind of way to save it and add it to your library. If anyones out there with a wp7 can u add to this? is there anyway to add the songs u download to your library?

Put.io WP7

For anyone using the file service Put.io, this app lets you stream and locally store MP4 converted videos.
This was my 1st WP7 app, learning the ropes etc - however I will not work on it in its current state (a redesign is required)
However, until the day I get my act together feel free to try this version for free and watch those videos easily
More dev updates will be found at X-Volt.com
P.s this can only run videos on a device that is not connected to the computer!
thx workshop2
I forgot to say, tap and hold items for the context menu (the only working options are stream/open video and download a video - if the file is local then it can also be deleted)
A few bugs?
Great app if I could get it to work. When I sign in an error pops up saying:
Error converting value "2558511245" to type 'System.Int32'.
I press ok and it continues to connect. I go to my files folder but I havent been able to get it to download. I get another error saying theres a problem with mediaplayer....Then it signs back in with your user key and api secret. So I start all over and try to stream the movie. That worked.....almost :/ I had picture, but no audio. I checked the movie from my laptop and the movie does have sound. It just doesnt have sound while streaming to my WP7 HTC. Another thing is there anyway that our user key and api secret can be saved so we dont have to sign in every time we open the program or it crashes? That's also happened a few times. It crashes and I get a black error screen with a lot of writing.
So I have been driving myself crazy trying to get it to work. Do you think you could fix these issues in your next update?
Thanks so much!
Oops, I forgot I had my API key being saved (bit of a security issue there...)
To stream video you can't have the phone connected to the comp, but it runs fine on my phone (Omnia 7) however sometimes put.io conversions arn't always perfect.
If you can give me some more of the error message (converting number to int) so I can fix that for you, but as I said im not planning on doing much with this application as im going to rebuild it once im less busy. You can only download/steam films that have been converted, and to download you hold down on the item to bring up the context menu, then click download.
You can find the settings saving error fixed in the latest attachment at the top of the screen.
Thanks

Thank you for fixing the save settings. I've been filling my put.io account up with converted .mp4 movies. I bought a subscription to put.io so that I can use the app you developed. However when I open the app on my phone, the movie list shows up, but I'm not ablt to do anything with them. They wont open at all for streaming or downloading and I don't have my phone plugged into the computer when using the app. I cant hardly wait until you have the time to rebuild this app. When all the bugs ahve been worked out I think this app will be amazing. Until then I wait in frustration.........
Well I will say it could be months until I am able to do anything as this was just a research application into WP7 development (I learned many lessons )
For the moment, if you could give me more details about the movies not working - does an error appear? What does it say? Have you double checked Put.io to see if the videos are converted? All this information can help me see if I can fix anything...
I know the Mango update brings more video streaming capabilites in the near future, maybe that will help.
P.s I hope you lying about buying a sub to use this app

No, Im not kidding. I paid for a sub to put.io I've been adding .mp4 files to put.io from mobilism.org. The files are in .mp4 format. If I add them from my computer through Zune, they work on my phone, just not through the put.io app. At this time I am not getting any errors popping up because Im not able to do anything at all as I mentioned before.
Out of curiosity, I added an .avi movie to put.io and then from the site, converted it to .mp4. I wasnt able to view it from the app so I reinstalled your previous app and signed in. The .avi movie file showed in my list and I was able to stream it. However it buffered a LOT. I tried to download the file and eventually the app crashed. So I added the latest updated app back to my phone. Which puts me where I am now, still not able to download or stream my .mp4 files. Am I doing something wrong??
No, it sounds like the application isn't working. Dont hold your breath for a quick fix as im extremely busy at the moment. Thanks for the interest though, makes me want to do it even more (btw, what device are you using?)

I have the HTC Surround. Ok, I'll just just check back now and then as I am very interested in using your app
After a lot of trial and error, I figured out how to get the movies to stream to my phone. I have to upload torrent .avi files to put.io and then convert them to .mp4 from the site. Uploaded .mp4 files wont work for some reason. However, I also found an app ~ yomomedia. With yomomedia I can rss my put.io files and stream them to my phone. The stream player lets me rewind or fast forward through the movie and also saves my place if I need to leave the screen. With the put.io wm7 stream player, I can only pause the movie. If I leave the screen I loose the movie all together.
Just thought I'd let you know

download mp3 file thru stream?

I suppose this may classify as a galaxy note 2 trick. Currently I have my old music on a website that streams it for you. I would like to recover this material as a saved file but it only streams it. I am looking for a way to do it on my mobile for I don't have my pc anymore and forgot my login. I know there are ways to download streaming videos via apps. I want to download my streaming mp3's. I am aware of a way with firefox using "about:cache? Device=memory" but that's on pc. Ide just like to recover the songs I have produced with the only computer I have which is my note 2.
It's official the about:memory?Device=memory code in firefox works. Find the correct link in the cache. You just need the view source add on to copy and paste the encoded link to an online url decoder, copy and paste the decoded link to the firefox browser. Long press the play button then you can save the audio. (Tested on soundclick)
Basically you can download any song you stream that doesn't have downloading enabled, directly to your Android. Someone should make this an app.
Apollo...you should make an app...
You are capable of this I'm sure..
That would be cool....g
