Never mind the beta status - full YouTube on S60 is now free and a reality

[slitchfield]

Software genius Samir must be burning the candle at both ends, with apps coming out of his ears. YTPlayer is a first beta of a full YouTube searcher and player. And it works, within the beta limitations. If any programmer is worth a PayPal donation it's this guy. Go on, make his Christmas.

Works really well

Just a hint: you can't do two word searches unless you put a * in between the words.

flash version 8 not supported? that is the message i see on my phone

[Ratkat]

Download and Install Flashlite 3, there is a link on the download page for the YTPlayer.

Then copy YTPlayer to your phone and place it in C:\Data\Others or E:\Others

It won't work with built in Flash Player

Open Flashlite 3 and start YTPlayer

And yes, my apologies for doing the screenshots in a hurry, in portrait mode, but I was excited and forgot to stop and think 8-)

Interestingly, this morning every search string's coming up as 'not found' - something broken at YouTube's end? What about you guys and gals?

Everytype i enter a word to search for on youtube i get "no result found", what am I doing wrong?

Hi all,

Just tried it on my E61 and it is amazing!
Realy full screen mode. But I tested a search on the word "crash" and found one hit. I selected it and it showed the movie but there was good sound and good image but I had the feeling that a lot of the movie was cut off (or I just didn't get the fun of the movie...).
Can any of you test this movie on your device?

Thanks,
Wouter

I got my flashlite 3 application emailed to me by Adobe, and it didnt work on that version. Adobe seems to have updated the application before posting it on their website. This program only works on the new flaslite 3 version in the download link.

Thanks Samir!

AAAAARRGGHHH!

Everything else comes second, no I don't have any dealings with them, it just simply is the best.

And now YouTube works again - wierd.

re:vtap - I've tried this several times but never got it working (over Wi-Fi) 8-(

Kudos to Samir anyway, more power to his keyboard!!!

My N80 can run it, but its a bit to slow. The quality of both video and sound is good, but it's asynchronous.

It works on the N82, I've tried one video clip so far, seems to run a bit slow.

vtap is ok but to me nothing beats real youtube. When you search vtap you only find a handful of videos. I've search for many youtube videos on vtap and it's not there! Only some "popular" content is on vtap.

I can't wait for the improvements to come.

We need volume control but this is great start!

'Some popular content'

I'm sorry but that is clearly wrong, the search hits for vtap are better than Youtube, it searchs VideoGoogle, news outlets, Amazon, you can chose the audio only and lets you listen to quality stereo sound.

You tube is 90% crap these days anyway, full of re..re..re..britneys spears t1ts
