Can't get youtube to work what am I doing wrong?
I installed the tcpmp player and the flashplayer bundle on my Mogul and its still a no go. I installed both items to the device(it only gives the option of device or storage card during instalation)so I would assume this means they are being installed in the same location right?

It gives me a pop up box that says: "youtube swf arg not found" what does this mean? or it loads the windows media player screen when I click on a video and then it says "video load error". Its strange but this is what its doing,anyone know how to fix this?

Make sure you downloaded the latest versions and unistalled the current TCPMP you were running and then installed the new one. Also make sure that when you run the .CAB files you are in the root of you storagecard or mydevice. I had this problem, but i was mistakenly installing the .CABs from the My Documents folder (how they were showing up there is beyond me).

you need 3 files. TCPMP player (rc 072...or something like that), the latest version of flashvideobundle (ive come across 2 versions...the 1st doesnt work...the second is perfect), and TCPMP flv plugin. Once these are installed (I would recommend installing all 3 to the device) you will have to go to the desktop version of YouTube...the mobile version wont work.

Search the forum for "Full Youtube Access"...you should be able to find the files you need.

All you need now is m.youtube.com and HTC Streamer.

I've just updated my ROM, and am getting the same error now. Could Youtube have changed their argument format? Always worked before.

*edit*

Just tried some of the other flashbundle sites, and they work fine, it's only Youtube.
