Tips:
- Use MobileLeap or Skweezer to compress the content. These video sites use a lot of still video images which are a lot of content to download. I've found the following method works well for me. Goto www.skweezer.net, click settings, turn paging to "Off" and Save. Now try these links from your phone...

I think I created more confusion with my directions then the original directions that required a PC. Sorry about that. If you use a PC to download the link in step2 and then copy it to your Q with ActiveSync you can then use File Manager on the Q to locate and launch the file.

I don't think anyone has been successful at doing it without a PC. It sounded good in theory but I guess I need to go back to the drawing boards.

I was also trying to consolidate both CABs into one CAB but haven't been able to pull that off yet. It would be cool to just have a single TCPMP-YouTubeEdition.cab wouldn't it?

I did that but, when I navigated to the file and went to install it, it starts for a second then, it immediately popped up and said unsuccessful. I wonder if the file is being corrupted or something....but the file size is correct..... odd.

Ok.. I finally found the problem. Well.. two problems.

First problem was that for some reason when I used Comcast's web interface to upload the FlashVideoBundle.CAB file it would be 2 bytes bigger then the original file! I don't get this at all. Anyways, I tried useing FTP to upload the file and it worked. The file size is correct now.

Second problem. Comcast has their MIME Types messed up so when you try to download the file it would just show the file like it was a text file. I figured out how to trick Comcast's webserver into using the correct MIME Type by renaming the file to flash.exe.cab. I guess having exe in the filename makes the webserver serv it up as a binary file and not an ANSI file.

COMCAST!!! FIX THIS CRAP!!

..... uhm.. I don't think they can hear me.

Anyways, this link should work perfect:

I also modified the link in Step2 of my first post.

This should fix just about every problem people were having with Step2. Including the errors like, Installation unsuccessful and file not supported on this device.

Have fun guys!

i did this and it worked perfectly when my phone was connected to my computer. when it's not connected i'm only at 1x (normally around a 100kbps connection when i test it) and it never opened tcpmp. I think this is probably due to the lack of network speed.....i would think that TCPMP would at least open and youtube would just play slow, but that is not the case.

You did a soft reset right?

The comcast link for the second cab (the Flash) file produced an error on my Q.. "installation was unsuccessful." I re-downlaoded the file from rudeboy's page and it ran fine.

TCPMP/Youtube combo is now working great on my phone. For those of you with latency issues, I believe it's pretty much hit or miss. The first three vids I tried never came up, but then I watched one that was choppy, and two that were perfect. I am on EVDO in a larger metro area...

Two thumbs up here... hats off to everyone who has contributed! If someone can figure out how to get www.funnyordie.com to work then I will be all set.

Which Comcast link did you use? I fixed the problem with the original link that produced the error you are talking about. Well.. I was fixed for me anyways.. Mine originally gave that error too.

The working link is:

Is that the one you used?
