Thank you Chad!!!
 Did this install today hoping to be able to listen to a local AM sports station over my Blackjack II. They require Flash, Java, and possibly ActiveX to get their "stream" running in Windows Media Player. Completed all the instructions, including using the program you mentioned to install the reg file to the device, and it seemed to go without a hitch. I do have just one snag I'm trying to figure out. I went to the YouTube main site, found a video I wanted to watch, and the page comes up with the following error where the video should be... "Hello, you either have Javascript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player." And then there is the usual link to download the latest Flash player. Did I do something wrong? I did do the device install as you suggest, registered the file as instructed, copied over the new flash.dll. Any help is appreciated!!! And thanks to Salando for the SYMB key note. I'd been trying to do Fn on it, and couldn't figure it out!  |

Note that installing flash doesn't give PocketIE java support. If the site uses Flash only, it'll play in IE. But if the site uses Java and Flash, then you'll have to use Opera Mobile. (not opera mini)

But if the site uses Java and Flash, then you'll have to use Opera Mobile. (not opera mini) Appreciate the help. As an update, I did install Opera Mobile yesterday. And after telling the browser to look like a desktop pc, I was able to get YouTube to come up. The video I choose may have been too big, because it never did play... it just spun as if loading. And when I tried to close Opera, it seemed to lock the phone so I pulled the battery. Now when I went to stream my local sports radio station (found at KJRam.com), I was able to get past the errors about the browser not supporting the javascript. But when Windows Mobile Player started, I get a memory address type error, and every retry showed the same problem. Not sure what I can do about that, since Windows Media Player is REQUIRED to stream this broadcast, at least according to the KJR website. Though it MAY have said something about mplayer running it... maybe that's something I need to look into, if there is a version for Smartphones (and not just Linux). |

I don't think it's going to do quite what you want, but here's mplayer for windows mobile:

ok,Im starting(actually already) to get pissed off, ive been working on the flashplayer prject for around 50+hrs
im not too computer savvy, im actually a roofer,but im trying^ ok ive downloaded the unlock thing, which i tried doing from the phone and it opens up some things like pathname,etc is the phone unlocked, anyways i go to step 2 doing the reg editor i do this in conjunction with my active sync program on my desktop computer and my smartphone(not having flashplayer isnt too smart),using the regedt it program i found an option to unlock the phone from the desktop computer, ive done this also, imported the all.file done all the steps but later on when i go to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT on the desktop computer(which i assume is synced with the phone) i never see this .SWF extension, so after i complete the 5 step process and install everything on my phone it actually does..nothing no error ,nothing^ive rebooted and no flashplayer, so. did i actually have my phone at anytime indeed UNLOCKED? hmm i had a nokia75 had flashplayer on it when i bought it but that phone sucked was hard to use,but at least i could use the internet better, on the blackjack II you cant even look at previous pots because it doesnt recoginize the links this is because of flashplayer not being there right?

QUOTE(salado @ Jan 15 2008, 23:40) 5) Copy regsvrce.exe from the fodler “Step 4 - regserv” to your Smartphone and run it. Enter \Windows\Macromedia\flash.dll as the full pathname. This will register “.swf” under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT in the registry of your Smartphone. You should get a prompt for Ok and then Yes later on. on a blackjackII where the heck is the "" \ "" button all i see is "" / "" ..(a) button i went ahead and just used the (a) /slash but it didnt seem to work EDIT_______________________________ nevermind i figured it out HOLD down the sym space key untill all symbols show on screen.. THANK YOU! I couldnt figure it out either. |

It seems to work ok - I went into Opera Mobile and told it to identify as a computer. The videos played, but they were extremely laggy. I went to youtube mobile and it worked fine, but I don't think the mobile version uses flash...heh

A little update for those of you having the same issue mentioned above and are now experiencing youtube withdrawals. I tried a few things to get the SPFlashHack to work including copying the newer flash.dll file again with a reboot to register the dll, to deleting the added files, restoring the registry from an image and yes even a hard reset. Unfortunately all attempts ended with the same result. To make a long story short, I was able to get my youtube streaming video fix using the alternate solution posted by Chad. At first a simple reboot as the instructions stated didn't do the trick. However, after a soft reset we were good to go. Hope this info helps others. Enjoy! |

Wow this was nasty.....
Did all 6 setups (not alternate method) in order with success at each step. (I already know how to get a \ to come up with the sym-space bar) Try to visit http://m.youtube.com/ which quickly loads showing a custom version of youtube just for mobile devices. Looks all good so far. I try a "Watch Video" link and then an error (Title Bar) [Windows Media] (Body) Alert (Message) Cannot play back the file. The format is not supported. Powered off phone, pulled batter for a minute, put back in and powered up; same issue Video from http://m.youtube.com not flash? Bought this I617 (Blackjack II) about 2 weeks ago. This a new version that the steps are not going to work? (Mind you I have installed a software unlock, registry editor and unlocked the gps with out an issue.) ---Edit This is not a fix imo but I installed opera 6.5 sp and I am able to enjoy http://m.youtube.com. I also want to add I had tried the Alternate Method mentioned prior to finding this site and thread. I did not do the step listed here but they were the same files from another site. They "kinda" worked but the videos were choppy. At least now I have opera as my browser. I suppose there is something in pocketIE or media player that has the youtube video blocked. 2nd Edit - Well I CANNOT enjoy http://m.youtube.com after all. Seconds after writing I look over at the video that was playing and it was garbage. (It has 1st started ok) Each video after that starts the garbles.

I have noticed as of last week that some of the plug in sites have stopped working on my phone I can go to the site but when I click on the video thumbnail I do not get the pop up to play video. Some sites work fine (youtube) but only some thumbnails work on google video and no thumbnails work on megavideo. Megavideo just gives me a file not found error. Has anyone had a simular problem?
