<![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube - Gizmodo Comments]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube - Gizmodo Comments]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> Works very well on my LG CU500. Doesn't work on my unlocked, straight from SE, W810i. Tried both with an AT&T SIM. The W810i provides no error. It loads the media player and says that it's connected, but nothing plays. I've waited 5 minutes.

Additionally, I think that the time that it takes to buffer is throttled and therefore is not fully taking advantage of the 3Gness of my LG. I say this because the buffer time is about the same on my cable modem using Safari and QT.

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> since november, all of youtube (and dailymotion, GUBA, etc.) has been available on any mobile phone with any kind of a streaming player on any carrier for folks who have the free Orb software on their home PCs:

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> Works perfectly on my LG CU-500 with the built in Cingular MediaNet Browser. Pretty cool actually, loads in just seconds.

I am on AT&T / Cingular - Unlimited Data and all bars there on the 3G antenna.

One strange note is that I cannot get a video to play using the Opera Mini Browser, I just hit the "play video" link (repeatedly) and nothing ever happens, even if I hit it once and give it a while...nothing. I guess Opera Mini can't access the phones media player, I dunno. Still it works and looks good on the CU 500 through MediaNet.

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> yeah, same error on my WM6 T-Mobile Wing, windows media player doesnt like the filetype, guess ill keep using www.tinytube.net

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> I tried this out on my AT&T Motorola V3xx (HSDPA). Buffering literally took just around a second. Quality was excellent. Also tried it when in an EDGE-only area of my house, and it was passable, but the buffering took FOREVER.

I wouldn't mess with this without 3G, personally... but with 3G - it rocks.

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> Yes Brian, it does...

Except Windows Mobile 6, but when is that going to show up on Verizon? I want to ditch the Q so badly!

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> No go on the blackjack either for me. same error,
"An unknown error 0X800004005 has occurred" and I have full data access, but I wasn't in a 3g area, maybe that had something to do with it.
Any other player I should try?

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> I'm going to play these over EDGE on my iPhone just to prove a point. And when I get out of the hospital, I'm going to say... "Ha! But I recovered!"

I wish I had the hardware or the network or the money for the plan. :(

Still great to read about this stuff though.

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> guys, list your carriers, too. I am feeling like that may have something to do with things working/not working.

Brian Lam

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> BTW, just for the hell of this I tried loading this on my Mac in FireFox, and I was surprised that I wasn't redirected to the full YouTube web page (most mobile pages I've seen bump full computer browsers to the full page). Interestingly enough, it decided to load RealPlayer instead of QuickTime or VLC. QuickTime didn't seem to like the video and sat forever at the streaming screen, but VLC did the deed with no problem at all. Interesting? Maybe not. Informational? You bet!

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> no joy with a w810i on AT&T's EDGE.

then again, the network with the "fewest dropped calls" has been crash-happy all day in my hometown. oh, well.

macstudent

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> Photophile: Of course there's a reason: All the Gizmodo video features, duh! ;) That aside, I tend to agree: there's not much worth looking at on YouTube, and I tend to spend no time there (except when looking for Will It Blend videos). I actually tend to spend more time on Google Video, because you can actually find full length public domain videos there. I'm personally waiting until Google Video and YouTube finally merge (or at least until Google Video results come up in YouTube, like YouTube results come up in Google Video)

Kichigai Mentat

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> Why YouTube? I don't get why somebody would want to watch the completely random videos from that site on their mobile device with a dedicated service. Going there randomly from a browser is alright, but what redeeming quality does YouTube have, other than stupid clips of people hurting themselves? I want to know. (video diaries/blogs do not count, they are lame)

photophile

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> Nice...

Works on my At&t Samsung Sync. And plays fullscreen, too, unlike the Cingular Video (Now Cellular Video) service...

Thanks!

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> Worked great with my N80 over the wifi. A 3min video took about 4 seconds before playing. I was impressed.

too bad there's like, nothing i'm too interested in on the mobile youtube. i hope in the future all uploaded videos get put on the mobile youtube!

i'm getting so sick of the "mobile" versions of everything being all freaking cut down and minimized to have the LEAST content available and worthless segments of things (IE: Helio TV Set).

We have 3G and all the technology to take advantage of it, why do they keep limiting us! ugh!!!!

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> Works great on the Treo 700p (one smartphone to rule them all?)

craig

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> Had this for ages in the UK on all Vodafone, phones, used it a few times on my Nokia 6280 works fine, but not enough 3G in the Uk to watch a full vid on the train to college, best of all tho its free for me as its part of Vodafones webpage whihc is free to browse!!! GO UK!!!

JBreakwell

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> No go on my Treo 680 on Cingular/AT&T. I think it's EDGE, definitely not 3G. I get to the mobile Youtube site, can search for videos (you're right, not even close to the whole site content, and no real pattern to what's there), and select a video to play. Then, the embedded Kimona player takes over and starts to buffer. Never gets past 0%, though, and eventually bombs out. Oh well, that's what I get for not being 3G I guess.

AZTriGuy

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> Clicking on a video from the 700p sent me to the Kinoma web page and clicking on a video from the 700w launched WMP and an error. I suppose I need some sort of third-party video playback app on these phones to assist. But I really don't care enough to find one.

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> Works great on my Nokia N80. I'm using my wifi access and it goes on without a stutter....still disappointing that their are only a limited number of videos.

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> someone posted in digg -- no go on windows mobile devices. Bummer, but no surprise for the lame ass operating system.

Brian Lam

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> I've tested this on my Nokia 3230. Site didn't work with default browser, as with Opera mobile browser it works. Video opens in RealPlayer, but on my EDGE connection it didn't play smoothly (sound did, video didn't).

Milanche

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> No go on my Sprint 6700. I've got a full data plan, everything else works, Orb, too. I try to watch a video and it errors out immediately in WMP.

davidfbecker

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> Hey Brian, it's working pretty well on my Nokia N75 via Cingular UMTS here at the beach in L.A. Pretty clear picture, not full screen though & the audi is a little weak.

bigMoneyMIKE

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> I get an error when I try to play a video on my WM5 PN-820. I don't have a data plan, so I have a block put on data. I tried to access it via USB, and I got a warning before it opened Windows Media Player, then I got an unknown error.

RomeoDude

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> Wow, this works great on EDGE, really not much difference then on my 3G N75 vs my BB Curve. Can't wait to try this out on the iPhone.

mrsalty

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> well damn. got my hopes up & everything. loaded it up on the Dash, clicked through the warning (of course I have unlimited data! not having that would suck!), browsed through three pages before finding something that looked, oh i dunno, marginally interesting, which mobile IE felt should be launched in winders media, which declined to recognize the file type. isn't that type of file the normal mobile phone video file type? that theoretically would play in the camera app? if WM6 could be configured in some way to do that? meh. oh well.

was a nice thought though.

lizard

]]> <![CDATA[A Tour of Mobile YouTube]]> Glad to see your Helio Ocean still working! My web browser stopped loading after 2 weeks, so I returned it for a refund. It was a sweet phone when it worked.. But when you click "Surf", you expect your browser - Not a blank white screen.

Can't wait for my 700wx to get here now :D
