    Hi All,
    Can someone tell me if it's possible to get YouTube working on an S60 handset please? Do I need some flv plugin? If so, where could I get this?

    Cheers,

    DC.

    Why dont you try tinytube.net or m.vtap.com ? It has the youtube content but you just have to download it as apposed to streaming it.

    Youtube have their own mobile portal now. If your phone is S50 version 3 you can get a nice little app called emtube for searching and viewing videos.

    Google all the above

    Thanks for that Bluefrog! I should have checked m.youtube.com :)
    Right, now all I need to be able to do is play flv files directly on my Symbian phone (Nokia E51). Is this possible? I heard TCPMP might be able to do it, but I can't seem to install that on my phone. Any ideas?

    Cheers,

    DC

    Emtube seems to download the video before playing it so I would guess that if you have choppiness it's a memory related issue.

    I find with emTube on my e61 that playing video that's streaming is choppy and out of sync, but when it's fully loaded it plays fine. Not 25+ fps, but fluid enough.

    Google have launched an app that you can download. Either go to http://www.youtube.com/mobile on your PC browser to get it, or go to m.youtube.com on your mobile. It's quite slick

    I tried m.youtube.com, but when I click on a video, it attempts to launch in real player (not sure if it should). It then just times out and I can't watch anything (Nokia E51)
    Any ideas?

    Below the search box on the main mobile page there's a link called "Get Youtube on your Phone". I clicked on that.

    I can't see that link myself, but I went to m.youtube.com so I'm assuming I'm already looking at the mobile version???
    In the meantime, I've been playing around with emtube. What a great piece of software!
