Thanks for the tip. Based on that I think I know what the problem is. I'll try to fix it up to at least provide a better error message in this case instead of just "Win32 Exception".

Same thing with the new version. See pics below.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SaShS:
Hello there,

It's a great application, but I also have that "win32 exception" and i don't have coreplayer (they're refering to "coreplayer dot com", aren't they?) so I don't know how to make that file associations...

What can I do?

thx!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
Are you using TCPMP? You should be able to add those file associations in TCPMP, the same as you would in Coreplayer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
Strange. To be quite honest, I have no idea what would cause that or how I would go about fixing it. :)

Has anyone else seen this kind of thing in a Windows Mobile app before?

New Version - mVu - 0.7.5.0

A new version has just been posted. This version includes the following:

Partial YouTube fix. Save now works. Streaming does not seem to work.

If you select a video format that is not available for a certain video, mVu will now inform you which formats are available.

Download complete notifications are now removed when you dismiss them.

Thanks for this update and for the fix! :)

By the way, will it be possible to implement possibility to see (and copy) the real youtube link when we select a video? (for blogs, etc)

You're the best!

EDIT: Youtube doesn't work for me. I've tried with all formats and the program says that the "video is not available in this format..." or coreplayer says "serveur error".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
When it says video is not available in that format, it should tell you what formats are available. Does it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zinconnu:
No. It only says "please try another format". I've the latest version.

Hi bik2000,

Thanks again for all your efforts on this app. I have tried the newest (0.7.5), and I am now getting an error message when the DL completes, instead of the notification like before. My error message is the generic (install Netcf messages blah), so I can't be more specific, unfortuantely. The NetCFMessages thingie doesn't seem to work on my device, probably because I've got NetCF3.7 cooked into my rom (is there a Netcf37messages?).

Anyway, just wanted to report back. All else seems to be working as well as before, and the DLs DO complete, I just get that error message.

HTH,

Hello.... I now understand what is going on. When I first tried mVu, I could play Youtube videos. Then a week ago things changed. Can't play or download these videos now. Youtube must of changed something.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
Are the errors with YouTube downloads? That's all I changed in the latest version. Other sites shouldn't have been affected.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
The first error means it can't get a network connection to the site. The second one is related, but I should get rid of that one. Basically, it attempts to continue when it couldn't get any info from the site and it shouldn't do that.

Are you able to connect to the internet with a browser when you get this error?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
I'll have to look into why you're not seeing that. That's one of the main things I added in 0.7.5.0.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
Can you try this again in 0.7.6.0? If it tells you that the video is not available in this format, it should also say what formats the video is available in. Something like "Please try one of the following formats: Standard, High, Mobile (Old)"

Do you have .Net Compact 3.5 installed on the device?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
Okay, I see now. I have that message in two places, and I only changed one. If you select Save it will tell you what formats are available, but I didn't do that for Play. For YouTube though, they have changed something in their API so streaming to CorePlayer does not work anymore. Playing YouTube videos using the built-in functionality in CorePlayer doesn't work anymore either.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zinconnu:
Ok, sorry, the feature works for youtube downloads, you're right. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
I just tried it in a WM 2003 emulator and it seems to work okay, so I'd guess the problem is that you are missing .Net Compact Framework 3.5 on your device.

mVu is now open source

I have decided to make the source code for mVu available as open source. I remember when I first started this app how much I wished I had the source code for WVD so I could just update that and make it work instead of starting from scratch. I figured this is the best way to ensure mVu is always available.

That being said, I still intend to make updates and fixes to mVu as I have been doing. But maybe someday I'll get tired of it and someone else might want to pick it up.

If you are interested, the code is now available on CodePlex at http://mvu.codeplex.com.

WM2003 + net cf 2003

I tried installing the application after installing netcf 3.5.

I got the dreaded "Not a valid windows ce setup file" error.

I believe that this is caused by trying to install a program on a windows mobile pda that is meant for a smartphone, or perhaps the program has to be compiled for WM2003?

I would be most grateful if you could check it out.

Can't open video in correct application

Hi, I've just installed mVu and found I'm unable to watch videos. When I press PLAY, this is supposed to launch an external player, right? In my case, it launches vTap, although I have both CorePlayer and TCPMP.

I'm thinking, is there a way to "tell" the software which player to look for to open videos in? Maybe a settings tab or something?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] b_a_fett:
The error is now gone. Downloading without errors. Still cannot play the downloaded flv. I will check for an updated version of TCPMP.

BTW -- I am downloading the 'Mobile (old)' version of the Youtube video. I am assuming that is what Youtubeplayer used to use??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
You need to set the File Associations in CorePlayer for mp4 and Flash Video. It's under Menu -> Tools -> Settings -> Select Page -> File Associations.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
I forgot .3gp. You should add that association too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cheeseus:
Thanks, I selected all file types. Now CorePlayer is launched, but I get "Server Error! (FFFFFFE1)"

Also, I was unable to play any of the downloaded FLV files as another user mentioned. Tried with CorePlayer and TCPMP.

Re: Server Error!: YouTube streaming is currently not working.

Re: FLV files: What format did you select to download? Did you try any of the other formats?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cheeseus:
Re: Server Error! -- Oh, that's why CorePlayer's built-in YouTube isn't working... So, YouTube are again doing some changes to their Flash video streaming...?

Re: FLV files --- I am not given any other choice of file type when I click SAVE. I am talking about YouTube.

EDIT: Just downloaded two FLVs from YouTube and they play fine on CorePlayer. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] b_a_fett:
Looks like TCPMP development is dead and has been succeeded by CorePlayer.

I just wish CorePlayer had a free trial.

I would hate to spend $30 and find that I still cannot watch youtube video's.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
Beside the Save button is a dropdown where you can select different formats of videos to download. For YouTube there are Mobile, Standard, Medium, High, etc... You can see the list of formats here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube#Quality_and_codecs

Looks like I need to rename the formats in mVu to 240p, 360p, 480p, etc...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
There are still some active TCPMP threads on this site. Here's one by bimbam69: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=636423

YouTube streaming in CorePlayer (both through mVu and the built-in functionality in CorePlayer) is currently not working. You should be able to play downloaded videos with either TCPMP or CorePlayer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cheeseus:
Renaming sounds like a good idea :)

Yes, I know about the dropdown menu, but for every video I have tried downloading, I either get a message saying the video isn't available in this format, or - when it is available and I click SAVE - on the next screen I only get a choice of FLV / All files.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] b_a_fett:
Thanks for creating this app. And thanks for your replies.

But I am still unable to play downloaded videos. I tried mobile, standard and mobile (old), and none play in TCPMP or imported to a desktop, do not play in Media Player Classic. Do you think CorePlayer would work?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the show stopper:
thanx for replying i got it working now ... there was some problem with core player. i got other sites working for me also. the only problem i have now is i can't play you tube, it always says this format is not available.

Google YouTube app

So even though I just spent a bunch of time getting mVu to stream YouTube videos again, for those of you who may not know, I will let you guys know that there is another option besides mVu for streaming YouTube on a Windows Mobile device.

Go to http://m.youtube.com/app from Pocket IE on your device. It must be Pocket IE. It will not work using Opera.

From there you can download the official Google YouTube app for Windows Mobile. It's actually a pretty cool app for streaming YouTube videos, and I'll even admit it's nicer than mVu. The downsides are that you cannot pick a higher quality or format to view, and you cannot save the video to your device.

And of course, if you're looking for your Tube8 fix...mVu is the only way to go. :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclu:
Yes!:) Now, with latest version is work great in HD2, thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nehpets:
Thanks Bik. You're definitely da man.

On my TCPMP, it's a partial success. I can get into YouTube and have no problem searching, which I couldn't do before -- since they changed whatever they changed. But when I try to stream or DL, I get the message that "This video is not available in Mobile format" or any of the other format choices I clicked on. Obviously that can't be true. Closer and closer, though. If 0.7.8.11 is working with Coreplayer, I'm almost ready to bite the $30 bullet even though my TP is due for an upgrade replacement in 5 more months.

The other urls are working OK as before.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
That is strange. I never had a problem with searching at all, only streaming. Now both work for me. What kind of device are you using? Is it English?

I might need to send you a version with some extra debugging info in it to try to track down the problem.
