YouTube.flv - Fix for CorePlayer 1.2.5 (But not streaming).
As most of you know, who purchased the CorePlayer 1.2.5 released this spring, that the streaming FLV is broken since months back and a new version 1.30 would probably fix this issue?
It was probably with mixed emotions, when the CP 1.2.5 became available as a warez not long ago, and everybody watched crapy RTSP YouTube movies, with same quality as with the built in media player?
-But I want however watch some good new music videos and documentary in same quality like before on the mobile, so I figured out with a bit of searching how to easily do it, without spending to much time in front of my MAC.
So, You download directly from your computers browser while watching your video of choice and transfer with the USB-cable to your mobile. Maybe not an elegant solution, but that is the best I can come up with now until 1.30 comes out.
How to: Just use a Firefox web browser and add “Video Download Helper 3.5.1″ and the videos will be saved on you desktop within a few seconds, -well that is depending on the speed of your local ISP, I have 100 Mbit/sec so it goes pretty fast here. Transfer to your mobile and CorePlayer 1.2.5 plays the flv videos like before..

Been doing that for weeks now. I’m using an even better add-on: YouableTubeFix which has dozens of features optimized for Youtube.

That’s exactly what I’ve been doing ever since I got v.1.2.5.

Actually, you can watch flv-streaming. But it seems like Google have changed the URL for accessing them.
Try this: Visit http://clipnabber.com/, copy and paste your Youtube link and press the “Nab Video”. After a while you’ll get a link called “FLV Download Link”. Right-click and copy that url and paste it in Coreplayer.
Now you can watch the video without having to wait for it to download. If you want to watch several videos you can put the flv-links in a playlist file, transfer to your celllphone and then open it with Coreplayer.
Cheers!
