hey all,

heres the problem.. my n8 is not playing youtube videos when i select to play it with standard video player option at m.youtube.com it takes me to the video player but shows nothings but only LOADING ...

however when i chose to play the video using flash player beta .. browser plays it smooth ..

my question is why my video player is not playing them ?????

[Thewonderer]

i got the same problem. When i try to play a video in desktop site mode then it only shows 240p option...

the other way in mobile mode, if i want to watch video then the video player keeps on loading....

I am now using the latest youtube player software from google, it shows a LITTLE better quality than in beta flash player but no real improvements.

as far as i know there is no solution to it. if u find it please let me know.

problem is with youtube

[Chefproll]

YouTube is owned by Google, Android is owned by Google.

It just helps selling Android phones if Symbian does not display YouTube videos with a better resolution.

So one of my wishes for the next update: "Identify as Android phone if using YouTube".

You just have to go to google mobile with your n8 , clic on youtube and download youtube app for n8 ...

Hi

Have you tried changing the streaming settings.

menu/settings/app settings/videos

from here you can choose acces points in use wifi/3g etc.

choose options/advanced settings at main streaming settings screen and try changing what bandwidth setting you use.

i had similar prob via wifi and changed my setting to 1.92mbits (have 3 meg bband) and it worked for me.

keep us posted

Hi ahsan3650,

im not sure whats wrong, sorry my post didnt work.

Maybe more advanced members than myself can advise you.

hope you find a solution.

make sure you are selecting "use flash video" rather than "use full site" it should work then

(i just tried)...hopefully youre referring to the youtube site and not other webpages?
