View Youtube from your PDA or Smart phones

This setup is really very easily for those who wanted to access Youtube or similar website to stream and view video directly from their PDA or Smartphones.

1) If you already have TCPMP installed, uninstall it now.
2) Install this version of TCPMP, linked below

3) Install FlashVideoBundle.CAB from the link above.
This MUST be installed in the same location as TCPMP (Device or Storage Card)
4) Soft-reset
5) Go to Start Menu->Programs->Video Sites and start streaming!

To make the viewing more enjoyable, you got have a good enough internet connection.
For my Singtel BBOM 512 kps plan, I would sometimes experience intermittent time off when streaming video. I would pause the playback and leave it to load before coming back for continous viewing when download is complete.

Another option is you can download the Youtube video in flv format on your device and view it any time you want. Remember to name your file with the .flv extension when saving.

For PDA user who have installed Micromedia Flash player, you may encounter problems. You need to uninstall the Flash player in order for the above software to work.

Enjoy and happy viewing.
