Viewing video on youtube
 
I seem to be unable to view videos from youtube as it says that a java applet is not enabled or I need flashplayer installed. Can anyone help me out on this? I went to Adobe's website to try and install flashplayer from there but was unsuccessful.

:rolleyes: In case of both the Nokia N800 and the Nokia 770, Java and Flash support is not really much to talk about. They ( Flash and Java) work but to a very meagre extent. Although the newer OS for N800 seems to be doing wonders for it, it is still pretty much a moot point as to how well it works on Nokia 770. :)

regarding youtube, the semi.solution i used to use is:
1. copy the link of the video you plan to watch from the browser
2. open youtubex.com (note the X at the end!) in a new window.
3. paste the link you copied
4. save the flv video somewhere on your MemCard (it will have a size in a range of 10-20MB!!)
5. open Mplayer, and wait until your new video pops up in the list.
6. Click Play in Mplayer, and wait like 5-10 secs to open the flv. file.

ok, now the problem I have: the audio is really out of sync in case of all videos,
and the menu option to change the audio delay of mplayer, just does not work.
I do use an mplayer version from maybe may?

my question: is there a solution to this audio out-of-sync problemo?
thnx, chrs, mrn

There is also a piece of software called UKTUBE out there, which handles the phases 2 to 6 for you. And you can even start watching the video before it is fully downloaded.

UKTUBE requires python2.5 & MPlayer and is currently bundled with media player UKMP, which acts also as a frontend to MPlayer.
