YouTube is kaput!
by subacati
YouTube have managed to improve themselves beyond useable. :rolleyes:. …
I've just spent the last few hours trying to get YouTube to run on my Smartphone. :left:.
The results are as follows:
Nokia E65 native browser – fail
Operamini – passes video to native browser – fail
Opera Mobile – fail
Skyfire (desktop) – 'your browser is no longer supported'
Skyfire (mobile) – fail
Bolt (desktop) – 'your browser is no longer supported'
Bolt (mobile) – fail
UCweb – fail
Teashark – fail
desktop view is the default for some browsers. Mobile they was selected from the on screen options.
A fail means that basically nothing worked.
The 'mobile optimization' from YouTube failed dismally.
I haven't found my usb cable yet so I can't test YouTube with a PC.
I can still use VuClip to they some videos, but I can't always find the ones I'm looking for. :awww:.
Knowing how things go on the net, it'll be another six months or more before this crapp gets sorted out. :irked:.
For Mobiles, YouTube is fail for now. :rolleyes:.

I get a 'malformed url' error.

I haven't had luck using Youtube on a mobile for quite some time. It's as if they don't want anyone but desktops, iPhones or Blackberries to access them. :irked:
You haven't heard? YouTube has adopted the h.263 as their new standard. :awww:.In short what it means is that html5 is now thoroughly fucked. :insane:.It also means that the rich monopolists will soon be very much richer. :irked:.

Ah, progress …Do you need a regular USB cable? I've got bunches of 'em around here and could send you one if you like.
Sir Aadil i just checked, am using Omnia II and you tube is working with Opera Mobile…
nah! I found my usb cable. Typical Nokia, each model phone as a propriety cable of it's own! :irked:.some more modern phones use mini usb on the phone side though.Yes, the Omnia II runs Windows Mobile 6.1 (upgradable to 6.5)My phone is Symbian S60 third edition. So you have a different Opera Mobile to me! :awww:
Thanks! :yes:.
if we post YouTube videos, there are other sites that hold the same videos… what are you able to watch? a link on those will make things easier for you …:)
I normally use VuClip when I'm on my mobile. It just seems strange that the 'mobile optimisation' that YouTube has introduced makes things worse! :irked:.
VuClip links will be included in my posts from now on! I use them often too. My friend Jurjen posts on videos that he likes and they are very reliable ! :up:
always a pleasure!! 🙂
i see..m
