EDIT 07FEB2008: Updated FlashVideoBundle File 

Dennis asked if there was a way to watch online videos on the T-Mobile Shadow. Windows Mobile doesn’t include the native ability to watch online video however there is a method for enabling a near seamless method of watching video on the T-Mobile Shadow. We’re not talking just Youtube, there is also Google Video, Veoh, Daily Motion and many more. Now you can one up your iPhone friends…again

What you need:

  1. TCPMP for Smartphones 0.72RC1 <–Shadow Users     (Pocket PC users need this one)
  2. Skunkworks FlashVideoBundle
  3. Wifi connection for better viewing

Once you have downloaded and transferred these files to your phone. Install them using file manager. Be sure you install both files to the same place (either Device OR Storage Card), they need to be in the same place to work correctly. Be sure you install the right one for your device.

From the home screen, click the Start button and scroll down the programs list. You will see the ‘TCPMP’ as well as an Internet Explorer icon called ‘Video Sites’, go ahead and select that to get a good list of various sites. Use the ‘Video Sites’ link

***Warning: The default Video Sites file contains links to video sites that contain adult content, to change this simply go to the folder Device > Program Files > TCPMP and delete the folder ’sites’. Next rename the folder ’sites.clean’ to ’sites’***

Note: TCPMP original site has been down for sometime, you can still get other versions of TCPMP here.

Flash Video Bundle was created by zbob and there is a discussion page here.
