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

flash player 7 for pocket pc & new youtube app

its here guys, both are fully working with the latest rom from SEUS --- youtube cab app was downloaded from youtube usingmy xperia
you don't have to install the flash player for the youtube app to work, i guess the flash player is just for internet explorer
flash player 7 here
Code:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer_pocketpc/
and the youtube app here

so, and..... isn't flash lite 3 already player 8(!) ?

and if it is, flash lite 3 wont work for me

yup, you are right.... didn't work for me either! However, THIS ONE WORKS finally !!! Thanks for the link!!!

What exactly does flash player 7 do?
Is it a flash lite plug in?
Is it an application player like youtube panel?

not working for me, on you tube not even showing box for video just the web page with comments.

what is the quality like on the utube app is this for the xperia?

The youtube app is very nice.

What's with this utube crap... it seems everybody just is concerned How utube plays!
For me it is important that website using flash content display and one can navigate through such websites!!!
So, with opera and flash lite, most websites using flash content did not display (only a white or black box was displayed!).
Now with flash 7, in Internet Explorer(!) these websites are displayed correctly and show their flash content.
Meaning, one can now fully access such websites. That's all

doesnt work with my internet explorer. still cant view flash sites...

What kind of a statement is that??? What is your ROM version, etc.?
Because on my X1i, unbranded Generic_UK R2AA10 it works PERFECTLY!

michael, what exactly is the difference between flash player 7 and flash lite 3.1 for X1?

Neither Flash Lite 3.1 nor Flash Player 7 works on my X1 with R2AA7 firmware.

Heh, so we have a little mess here...
On my side, I'm still on R1,
and FlashLite 3.1 shows almost all Flash content on websites....
But I use Opera Mobile 9.5.

Actually after restart flash player 7 did show some kind of flash content in opera 9.5 (I do not use IE mobile at all), but the content was kinda broken (did not show as it should be). Maybe a newer version of flash was on that pages (flash 7 is very old).
But this content did not scroll with the page. It stayed on the same place of the screen and totally messed up my pages. This flash cripples the pages more than it shows anything good.

It works man!!!
Thank You

As well I checked it,
YouTube app from youtube shows these small, mobile videos which are disaster,
compared to YouTube panel which some of us use... Which shows perfect video.

o well gd for u then. lol.
im also using X1i on generic uk r2aa10 with r3a panel manager. but ie wont display any flash content. not a big deal tho.
i already got flashlite installed and most flash content displays well on opera.

I just got my xperia last wednesday and installed flash player 7 and I was able to watch bbc iplayer and listen to music on a specific website on opera. The next day I updated the firmware via SEUS to r2a and reinstalled flash player 7 but i was unlable do do either of those thing. Now when I go on the sites the players just keep loading and doesn't appear properly, I unistalled flash player 7 and installed flashlite 3.1 but with that there are no players at all. Is this due to the firmware update or an I doing something wrong.
By the way is the any news on the official r3a firmware release date.

Flash Player

Just got a htc Touch 2.
Installed opera mobile v10b2, works great. Having problem getting a flash player for it. Can't play video or flash games.
Tried adobe site. v7 doesnt work on our wm6.5
It installs but still dont play video on iplayer etc
Any advice...?

You should try skyfire. It works pretty well on my mega. There are a lot of videos on youtube about it. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the reply htctouch2PT
I tried Skyfire... and my response was.. "eewww"
Compared to Opera10, its really a mess. It reminds me of Yahoo homepage from back in the days.
Anyone else got any suggestions on where I can get flash player fro opera mobile10?
...or if Adobe are going to release a new version of flash player for ppc

You need Opera 9.5 / 9.7 and this: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544770. I've personaly installed it on my Mega and works flawlessly with YouTube.

Flash for HD2

Hi all,
I just saw this video http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/mobile_demos_fp10.1/popup10.html of Google nexus and I am quite surprised that we can play all the games of miniclip in this phone.
Is there any way we can install flash or something to play these games in HD2

thanks for the info. from where can I get these two software

just google skyfire
it'll be the first link there

HD2: Skyplayer, Skyfire & Silverlight
From what I've seen for the HD2 Skyplayer does not work on the Skyfire browser, something to do with the silverlight installation not exchanging id information.
Also the full Silverlight installation won't work on Windows Mobile 6.5. It is only for Windows Phone 7.
Inessence there would appear to be no way to watch Skyplayer on the HD2. If anyone has a solution to this please can they post a reply?

Watch flash videos on news.bbc.co.uk?

Hi
Can anyone tell me if I should be able to watch flash videos from the BBC news website? I am using stock opera 9.7 and I can't view them. I know that the device is not flash 10 compatable (gggrrr) but am unsure if I should be able to view the videos embedded on the bbc news site. Can anyone else??

It used to be possible to play them in Internet Explorer, but I've a feeling the BBC may have changed the format recently. I don't think they'll play in Opera Mobile 10, either, even though that does have some flash support. Your best bet is probably to use Skyfire.

They work in IE just fine for me, even the watch live streams for bbc2 ,3 etc work the only videos that dont work for me on the BBC site are the Live bbc 1 stream and iPlayer which show green and garbled stuff
Opera has never worked on the bbc videos for me at least, always moans about no javascript enabled or wrong version of flash

just tried to use IE and when I click a video IE crashes and closes. very anoying.....

Try, http://get.skyfire.com/.

thanks, i have used skyfire and it works ok but seems v slow compared to opera. I was trying to see if its possible just to have one browser that does everything! I guess not. It's very annoying and the only thing that really niggles me about the HD2. You'd think browsing would be the thing they'd really want to sort but no..... we still have to use 2 or 3 browsers depending on what we want to do. A bit of a joke really......
I hope some clever bod here can somehow get flash 10 to work on the HD2 seeing as it now seems that Adobe aren't!! I wonder if I could sue adobe? You spend £300+ on a handset as they say the HD2 will be the first WM device to support flash10 then a few weeks after I splash out they announce that they are no longer doing so!!! ggggrrrrrr
