Best guess re YouTube: network.

I LOVE all of them shows and watched them when I lived in England
Sadly no. Iplayer only carries output from the last week on a 'watch again or if you missed' basis, I think.

Great DVD collection, though!

(MInder was ITV, Fools was beeb, and the 7 disk set is half price at tesco this week.... don't ask why I know that.!)

Look at this video about 7 minutes in. It seems like it cant even play youtube videos.
The problems in that particular video has nothing to do with the devices capabilities. If you look at the progress bar you see that it's the network that is too slow.

Are you serious? You're avoiding buying an N900 because it can't play videos faster than the network it's on can deliver the data?

Will that be a new feature in the next OS then?

Does anyone have experience with Viddler or the Slashgear videos on the N900? Do Youtube "HD" videos play in dedicated clients on other devices, so that we can expect that at least in an out-of-browser dedicated client on the N900?

There is, however, plenty of listenable stuff, primarily from Radios 4 and 7, which isn't podcast; how's the N900 at iPlayer radio?

It does if you know where to look. I am running a Sense Hero rom on my G1 and flash works.

On my G1 a few videos on newgrounds.com were unbearably slow. I can only guess that this is down to the codecs. Has anyone tried any flash games from such a site on their N900? I haven't found one game that will run on my G1, which I guess is down to it being Flash 9; but, there could be another reason.

Sadly, the version of flash in the G2/Hero won't work with the iPlayer; so I can't do a comparison.

It's HQ, damnit people, stop confusing these:

SD = STANDARD DEFINITION (normal video encoded in flash h.263)

HQ = HIGH QUALITY (video encoded in h.264)

HD = HIGH DEFINITION (720 pixels tall h.264)

There will not be support for HD videos on any platform and it'd be waste of bandwidth anyway since the video resolution is larger than the device screen.
