YouTube Mobile: WM still needs that hack

Bummer, YouTube finally gets around to launching a mobile version of their site that's free for anybody to use - http://m.youtube.com - and it won't work with Windows Mobile. As in, it won't work with the default Windows Media Player or even the fancypants CorePlayer. That's annoying. Look like you're still going to have to download that add-on to the venerable TCPMP to get your YouTube on.

Seriously, people, how hard can this really be?

The RTSP tested and working on Treo 700p phones. We don’t have it working on Windows Mobile devices yet as we have not yet found a 3GP player which supports RTSP (alas, CorePlayer won’t work).

If you Google this...
Download Free HTC Streaming Media Player to play RTSP 3GP audio .
Follow the instructions...along with the program you have to add a few DLL files to your windows folder (don't overwrite anything) just add the DLL files that you don't receive a prompt..
everything else just say no.
I just click on the thumbnail for the video on http://m.youtube.com to play seemlessly with this player on my Palm Treo 700wx. It works great.

I really wish youtube would just come out with a youtube player/streamer for Windows Mobile. I mean if they can do it for appletv why not windows mobile?

It's working on some Windows Mobile phones, but it looks HTC phones only! :( See theunwired.net for more info and a video where they got it working on a HTC Touch: http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=3930

The article is talking about m.youtube.com, which should work fine if you have htc streaming media player installed.
