Running You Tube, FLV videos on Windows mobile and Nokia Symbian.

I was searching for running youtube videos on windows mobile from long back. But whenever I was pressing run video link on youtube TCPMP player was not supporting with showing error in format. Grrr.. what to do?

Then, while searching for flv player for windows mobile, I came across TCPMP FLV Plugin , an open source plug-in developed for TCPMP player. Download this TCPMP with its FLV plug-in and start using the YouTube. One thing you need to make sure that you have an unlimited internet data plan on your mobile, because these videos will take lot of bandwidth.

TCPMP player supports multiple audio and video format supported, however this is closed open source project. Commercial version for this is available as CorePlayer. TCPMP player is only for windows based systems only.

Now, if you have other than windows mobile how you can surf and view videos on your Nokia mobiles?

Yes, it has a solution. emTube is freeware application for Symbian based mobiles. It is written by Sebastian Jedruszkiewicz. If you like this application, you can donate the author.
