Nokia n8 plays youtube videos in 320x240 format on...

with dedicated video chip why nokia is limiting the youtube playback quality.i have tried all the hq settings.try youtube mobile website on some htc phone like hd2 it plays them at 640+ resolution.i hope there is a workaround for this .or may be nokia can fix it on atleast when using wi-fi.thanks guys

It's seriously a rather interesting scenario here. I would like some facts here because I've got an N8 with seriously **bleep** Youtube Player on it. It's honestly unacceptable.
I want to know, is the playback quality of Youtube on the Nokia N8 limited due to Flash specifications or is HQ for Youtube on Nokia N8 being intentionally kept away from us for numerous other reasons.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised. I'm not blaming Nokia here but it seems rather that Google themselves are the culprits. They are happy supplying Youtube Players for HTC phones with WP7 capable of playing HQ, but where is this for the Nokia N8. So can every other phone other there!
Honestly the Youtube Player supplied via m.google.com is an absolute disgrace. The fact that they even released such an unworthy app seems only to point to the truth that they are intentionally not allowing Nokia N8 users to have access to such quality video, especially with a phone with the features of Nokia N8. The freaken quality of normal browser on N8 is far superior than that of the joke of an app.
People playing HQ videos on Youtube and showing it to their friends with HDMI on a HIGH DEFINITION Television probably wouldn't make every other phone out there look so good.
Now, please somebody help me.I've heard of 'Beta' HQ Players out there and so forth, but i need some verification here by somebody please. Tell me what options I have here!

Hi Mohan_111
Thank you for posting and welcome to Nokia forum!
Things to try:
1. Uninstall and reinstall the Youtube downloader.
Restart your phone
1. Press and hold the power button until the phone vibrates and switches off.
2. Switch your phone on again.
Reset the settings
Restore the original factory settings (Menu > Settings > Phone > Phone management > Factory settings > Restore). This reset will not delete any data on your phone it will just restore the settings back to default state.
Update the software
Make sure your phone is running the latest software. Use Nokia Suite to update or reinstall the phone software.

How to play youtube videos in C2-01?

Hi,
I recently buy nokia c2-01. In that i unable to play youtube videos.Please help me on that.

Hi,
Here is the latest information i received from the C2-01 unit:
I expect the new SW to be available for C2-01 very soon.
Youtube videos cannot be played in Airtel India network (X2-
00) and also for C2-01.
When trying to play videos from Youtube
(http://www.youtube.com) while using Airtel India network,
error message is displayed (e.g. "No response. Try again", or
"Unable to open file", or "Operation failed").
If this error is persistent, refer to solution described below.
If the error happens only temporarily, this is due to non-
optimal network coverage and cannot be fixed in the device.
Solution:
Default access point (APN) "Airtel Live!" is not suitable for
streaming videos from Youtube.
Perform the following steps in order to change the APN
manually:
Go to main menu -> press "Menu" -> "Settings" ->
"Configuration" -> "Preferred access pt." -> choose "Mobile
Office" (instead of "Airtel Live!") -> press "Select".
In case there is no APN named "Mobile Office" to choose,
please contact your operator to get APN settings directly.
If you get APN information as plain text, values must be
entered manually by selecting "Personal config. sett." in
"Configuration" menu. After having entered the correct values,
the newly created APN must be activated as described above.
Note: using a different APN than preconfigured by your
operator may result in high costs if not covered by your data
plan. If in doubt, check your contract details with your
operator before manually activating new APN settings!

How do I stop Thunderbird playing youtube videos in a tab

For ages I've been trying to get Thunderbird to work how it used to work but I seem to be fighting a loosing battle. I have done everything I can do to try and stop Thunderbird from ever using tabs. The latest thing I'm trying to stop is Thunderbird playing YouTube videos in a tab. Often I get emails with videos in them that play really small. If I click in the fullscreen option in the video it doesn't work and I've no idea why? So I click on the YouTube link in the video and I want it to open in Firefox. But instead it opens in a tab. This would be okay except that it plays really slowly and I can't reposition the tab. This is one of the reasons why I hate tabs in Thunderbird. I want to read things (or watch videos) in the centre of my screen, not where Thunderbird decides to open a tab, which is usually in the top right of my screen. With a very large screen it is much more frustrating than it would be on a laptop or other small screen.
Can someone please tell me how to fix this?
Another thing I would like to fix is the search function. I use search all the time and it is very powerful/useful. But again, when I click on the search results it opens the result in a tab. It would be okay if it opened a tab in the search results window but it opens the tab in the main Thunderbird window. It may also be okay if search opened a tab. But opening search in a new window and then showing the search items in a tab on the main window is just so frustrating. It almost makes me want to stop using search. I looked at using X Search Desktop for search but it no longer supports Thunderbird.
Again, can someone please tell me how to fix this?
I absolutely love Thunderbird but I really wish it were possible to roll back the changes that have been made in a number of areas. I spend so much time looking for add-ons just to get it back to how it used to be. With every new version there seems to be another change to the interface. I have to use "manually sort folders" just to get the folders to be in the order I want them. Like everyone else I want the security fixes that come with new versions but I don't want interface changes forced on me for no reason.
But now so many add-ons seem to stop working with each new release. I used to have an add-on that provided two simple buttons to increase/decrease the text size of incoming emails/RSS feeds. It also allowed me to set the font size/type I wanted for each incoming email/RSS feed and overide whatever was originally set. That stopped working a while back and I'd love to know if there is an alternative. Some RSS feed fonts are now set for smart phones and are simply massive in Thunderbird.
If anyone can help me with these issues I'd be most grateful.

You can check the home page (startup) setting:

Do you have the latest Adobe Flash Player installed? If not then go to the Adobe site and download and install it.

I have windows 8.1 and firefox won't play youtube videos but IE will

I have windows 8.1 and firefox won't play youtube videos but IE will. I have tried reinstalling firefox, flash, java. Resetting firefox don't help, disabled hardware acceleration, protected mode 0 in the mms.cfg file. Nothing will play on youtube in firefox. It says "an error has occured, please try again later". The ads play fine though. Everything plays fine in IE. I have tried different versions of flash also with no luck. I even restored the system to a previous iso image with no luck. Does anyone have a solution?

It maybe because your javascript is disabled .

When I try to play youtube video I get the message of blocked plug-in, and I can not play video using Safari. (Youtube works fine with google chrome) I tried installing flash player HTML5 etc... but still no difference.

I just installed OSX Mountian Lion, and ever since then I can not play youtube video's. I get the message of 'Blocked Plug-in' in the youtube screen. I have tried installing Adobe Flash Player. HTML 5, also tried enabling/disabling java, but nothing worked out. Is there any way I can play youtbe vieos on Safar. (It works fine with Google Chrmoe, only safari has problem)

If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
Try uninstalling the currently installled Flash plugin (required for most YouTube content) then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now from the menu bar click Develop > Empty Caches

Unable to play youtube videos after OS 10.2.1.2977 update

Hi, I got an OS update two days back "10.2.1.2977". after updating, all the data in my memory card got wiped off and I am unable to play youtube videos both in browser and Supertube/fasttube apps, it's showing as "Error1: Internal" I tried rebooting but the problem is still there. Does anyone faced the same problem. Please suggest me a way to get rid of this problem. Appreciate your help

Alternatively, you can use an autoloader to reload the software.
You can download it here for the same os:
http://filefactory.com/file/7il26x7cisqd/10.2.1_B3247_Z10-3G.rar
Note that using this will also wipe all data from the phone.
How to use?
1) download it and extract it
2) connect the device to a pc
3) run the Exe file, it will automatically wipe and load the os in

Is it possible to play youtube video in safari browser on WiFi in iOS devices ?

Hello Support,
I have a query regarding playing you tube videos in iOS devices (like iphone,ipad). I can able to play youtube videos in safari browser in iphone on 3G data connection but can not play the same video on WiFi. I am facing the same issue in the youtube iOS application also. Is it possible to play youtube video on WiFi in iOS devices ? Please help me to fix this issue.
Thanks

My understanding is that you should definitely be able to play youtube videos using a Wi-Fi network. To me, it sounds as though the issue may be more network related as the videos will work over cellular data. I have a couple questions I believe could help narrow down the exact issue:
• Is the device able to browse to other websites while connected to Wi-Fi, or will no sites work?
• Are there other devices (iPads, iPhones, computers, etc) that work on the same Wi-Fi network?
These are some troubleshooting articles that come to mind as well:

Up until 6 hours ago I was able to play youtube videos now I cant in firefox I have no problem playing them in google chrome or IE .But if I am in firefox all I get is a black screen no picture ,no sound, no bar at the bottom. Need suggestion

I am not able to play youtube videos. No picture no sound

I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.

Frostbitblue,
in Safari’s Preferences, select its Security tab, and make sure that its “Internet plug-ins: Allow Plug-ins” checkbox is checked.

Safari in 64-bit mode on Snow Leopard does not play YouTube videos

Recently Safari stopped playing youtube videos while Safari is in 64-bit mode. The entire page renders correctly; however the area where the video is supposed to play remains a black box without controls. I can watch video from other sites, or I can watch video from youtube if I use another browser like firefox. Additionally, I can go to the youtube video owner's channel and view videos there just fine. It's only when I try to view videos that use the "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" method of displaying a video using Safari in 64-bit mode that it fails to play -- it plays fine with Safari in 32-bit mode.

It's not !. Flash player 10.1 is no better (as you can verify by downgrading here http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html)

My iPad quit playing YouTube videos and iheart radio

My iPad no longer plays YouTube videos and I Heart radio. This started after a recent update to the iOS. Any ideas on how to fix?

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.
