youtube vids in opera

hi everyone. i am wondering how many of you are able to view
http://www.youtube.com
content on your athena using opera or t'internet explorer?
I am presuming that most people at the moment are using t-mobile
devices and roms which come with bult in opera like mine. I saw a post for a new version of flash player for ppc so i updated expecting to be
able to view youtube movies.......
I have tried to update opera as well to 8.65b but this hasnt helped me.
Does anyone else have any luck?

This is what I found on the topic...

Based on my research...there are mixed results - some can play YouTube while others can't. Someone reported that there seems to be a compatibility issue between the Flash available for PocketPC's and the Flash used to encode the video on YouTube. Another article above mentions installing the latest Opera AND Flash Player 7 for PPC. Apparently YouTube uses the latest Flash while the latest version of PocketPC Flash is equivalent to 7.x. Since 7.x isn't forward compatible then you can't watch the video's on your PPC until they come out with an updated version. This is what i found based on my Google searches. There is also a report that YouTube is making their site PocketPC compatible in May. If I find otherwise, I'll post it for you guys.

well you can play youtube vids with the new opera beta and latest flash player...at least on the jasjar
the only prob being that it is way to choppy at the moment

When you said it is choppy, could you also clarify what network were you using? Is is UMTS or HSDPA? What download speed was it when you made that observation?
Thanks for the info.

it was wifi...
the problem is that even after being completely downloaded the vids are choppy (as in 1-2 fps) during playback

Is there a way to play YouTube movies directly from Opera?

Ok, so you can install Flash for Opera but it sucks - it makes the phone unstable and slow. However it would be great if you could do the same thing you can do on the iPhone - that is whenever there's a YT movie you see the play icon but when you click on it it opens the YT app and it runs the movie in it not in the browser. Is there a way to do the same thing on HD2 with Opera?

I don't know about Opera as it isn't my fave, but install Skyfire and abra kadabra Youtube and other streaming sites work fine

Yes go to the mobile version of youtube which is.... m.youtube.com

That's not what I'm looking for I think I was misunderstood. Sometimes when you read a page there is a YT movie embedded on it. On the iPhone you can click on it and watch it in the YT application. Here all you have is the border of the movie with no info. So you even don't know the URL of the movie and as result you cannot watch it (well you'd have to view the code of the page and search for the URL).

install skyfire, its much better so long as you don't mind not being able to pinch zoom.

I don't like Skyfire's interface. I'll just have to wait for Opera 10 - if it supports pinch zoom cuz now (in Beta 2) it doesn't...

When you go to m.youtube.com you are provided with thumbnail of the video clips. Tap on it and the video automatically plays in the built in HTC youtube application full screen.

I got it . But I was writing about the situation when a video is embedded on some other site than youtube - like toucharcade.com for instance...

What you are talking about only works in IE built in on the HD2. I just did it and it worked fine. Check out this short video I just made with it working in IE on the HD2.

No - I meant embedded video files on websites like here for instance: http://prowokacje.com.pl - as you can see if you open this website in Opera you won't be able to view embedded YT videos. As I can see it should work in IE (video in the post above) but IE sucks . I'd like to see the same feature in Opera or Opera opening YT movies in the YT app.

As I already said in the first post fixoperaflash makes the phone unstable and it freezes the browser. YT movies work muuuuch better in the YT app. Ok, I see there's no resolution of my problem right now so I'll wait for Opera 10 with Flash and pinch zoom.

I am also looking for the answer to this. Some cooked ROM's have this working. I know that the stock t-mobile one will NOT do this weather its the mobile youtube or full version in opera. There must be some reg edit that makes this possible. I know IE on the HD2 will do this properly out of the box but I don't use IE for browsing the web on the HD2.

The latest build? I know I've watched vids from some sites, possibly FB, and I'm sure YouTube works.
I install to my SD and never have an issue with any site.

[Q] Flash player

Hi everybody,
Has anyone try to view flash video on the streak; has anyone issues with it and how did you resolve this? I am on a site which is broadcasting flash videos; my streak is charging them but nothing happens, any ideas? How can I resolve it? Do I have to download something? (I am running the official dell froyo update)
Thanks for answering

It SHOULD play the vids. I've tried iplayer on Wifi and it worked really well indeed (I'm using Steve's custom 2.2 build 1.4.1)
....thinks....ooh yeah - have you downloaded the flash 10.1 player from the market?

lol
good one

Adobe flash player
Yes I did but on some sites it's charging without playing...

hmm. any sites in particular? I'll try them on mine and see what happens (assuming they're respectable of course... )

Its a belgian news site : "rtl info.be"; the video's are charging but not playing.

well I've had a quick look and it's certainly downloading the vids BUT at work I just don't have a fast enough connection - a couple of bars of Edge is the best I get.
I'll try again at home, on Wifi. They seem to be quite big files.....

Ah just noticed - they're mp4 not flash! Hth?

It's in general and neither in android nor windows phone 7, and he said IE. So I am going to assume it's windows mobile.
Well, I don't use winmo anymore (well, i don't think anybody does) so I really dont know how to fix that or what that crappy streaming app is. But I can suggest the removal of "thata crappy streaming media" app and trying again, supposing you don't use it.
