Hey guys, we are upgrading our system as we speak, at this time, but we have already a system that can mobilize YouTube. We are carrier independent. There is NO addtional software download with your services. Our services are FREE to try as long as your cell phone is web-enabled. Check US out, give us feed back so we can even make it even better.

In your N95 go to RealPlayer, open options, configurations, streaming, and adecuate your conection conditions, say no to proxy (most probably), and in RED be sure that the default point acces is the same your phone use to conect to web, WiFi or Internet instead of WAP or Streaming, It Works, even here in Venezuela with Movistar, Telefonica provider

Movy.tv is a mobilizing YouTube site.
You can download and install our mpeg4 player on
your Nokia and you will be able to search and play
all the videos/audio on the site including a couple of television channels.

You will able to be able to upload videos/audio and
have them "mobilized", just like YouTube...
but you will be able to mobilize what you want when you want

Thanks for the tip Jake

I went to "m.youtube.com" on my N95 and can see lots of YouTube mobile videos.

I'd recommend doing it through your wi-fi connection to make use of your fast broadband connection and to avoid paying a fortune to mobile companies

Mobile You Tube works great on my HTC Vox. It's just a shame that most of the fun videos aren't on mobile You Tube

Mobile YouTube DOES work on N95s and all other S60 phones. You just need to change some settings if it doesn't immediately.

If you want to know how visit my S60 blog at http://www.S60tv.com . The exact article is at http://www.tinyurl.com/2xk974 .

But I must agree that it is frustrating that things still don't work. Last year there was this site www.tinytube.com I think, and it did it well but then YouTube sent them a cease and desist so they moved to provide mobile videos from other sites...

In RealPlayer, choose Options->Settings->Connection->Network->Default access point.

Ensure that it is set to the correct access point, the same one that you are using in the browser.

Access Point Settings (Tools->Settings->Connection->Access Points)

For Cingular: The access point should be using wap.cingular as the Access point name.

For T-Mobile: The access point should be using internet2.voicestream.com or internet3.voicestream.com, depending on which plan your SIM is configured with as the Access point name.

Nokia N95 does not have Flash Lite 3.0 - no phone does, but future phones wil, and Flash Lite 3.0 will support video.

hi robert & friends...

got the mobile youtube nicely working on my oldschool nokia 6630... hat to set the default data-gateway withihn the real player software though. I'm pretty sure that n95 is basically capable of playing back those streams... must be some kind of config- or provider-issue....

greetings!

"You might need to goto settings in the real player to change how it connects to the internet from your GSM APN to your WIFI SSID."

That bit of technobabble is exactly the problem right there. :P
How about..You click on the play icon, and it plays?

Aside from transcoding videos from Youtube into mp4 with one of the many available apps, there shouldn't be any trouble making a player for phones. http://www.adobe.com/devnet... is an Adobe article about doing just that.

Oh man, in the UK and VERY frustrated ;-) I hope to camp out at the Regent Street Store when we have our launch in Oct/Nov/Dec?!?!

@Robert - would be superb if Stevie J turned up!

Hey Robert, I thought the N95 had a built-in Flash player. Did you try the regular Youtube site?

Also, I guess the Treos still have some life in them, because they can play Youtube videos with Kinoma: http://www.kinoma.com/index... Weird that my almost-3-year-old Treo 650 can do pretty much all the stuff that the brand-new, expensive phones can do. And without a 2-year contract, to boot. ;)

@Rishabh: yeah, several from PodTech will be there too. I guess everyone is hoping that Steve Jobs will show up there (since that's the store closest to his house).

That might make sense. If he showed up in San Francisco there'd be a riot.

Richard: you don't understand. Waiting in line is a lot more fun than actually getting whatever you want.

I remember waiting overnight to watch StarWars (the fourth, I mean, the first one) and two of the guys who started Hotmail were next to me in line.

I remember being one of the first into the Sunnyvale Fry's stores and John Fry gave a group of us a personal tour around the store.

Anyway, it'll be a scene.

Additionally if you go to http://www.3gp.com and click on 3GP players, you will quickly see that Apple Quicktime player plays it. So YES, mobile YouTube will work on iPhone. If you visit m.youtube.com with a new mac and click on a video to watch from Safari, you will see quicktime open and connect to play it.

Wow! You are really going to camp out all night to get a PHONE? REALLY??? I guess consumerism is very strong and alive in America today! I understand that this is one really cool phone but I would rather get some sleep so that I can contribute something positive to someone's day then wait on a hard concrete sidewalk in order to obtain a plastic encased piece of metal that plays videos from several large media distribution companies!

Perhaps I am misreading you here. This is a news worthy story and should be covered by someone.

"Actually, I recall that the iPhone has no flash player. That means, no YouTube."

Wrong you are. YouTube is using the new mobile movie standard 3gp based on MPEG4 which the PSP uses.
http://www.3gp.com
If you go to YouTube mobile, you will actually see that the downloads are for streaming 3gp movies, not a flash player.

The Diggnation crew and Leo Laporte will be at the Palo Alto Apple store. That's where I'll be. Diggnation will be doing a show from there, and Leo was thinking of some mobile version of a podcast.

Kevin Rose was saying on one of the most recent episodes of Diggnation that he really wanted to camp out at the San Fran Apple store overnight.

Say hello to him if you see him! (hopefully he won't be drunk and incoherent)
