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?

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.

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
