YouTube for S60 gains full-screen and wider support
Published by Steve Litchfield at 8:06 UTC, August 20th 2009
Google's native S60 YouTube client has just got itself a significant update, to v2.2.17, now working in full-screen mode (at last!) on S60 5th Edition phones like the N97, 5800 and Samsung i8910 HD and with new countries and languages added to its officially supported list: Brazil, Czech Republic, Poland, Russia and Sweden. You can get the update by going to m.google.com in Web on your phone. Screenshots below the break.
(Full-screen mode shown with added controls to demonstrate context!)
Disappointingly, there's still no way to log in (let alone stay logged in), for access to favourites and commenting. Watch this space!
PS. N97 owners might like to try the version of 2.2.17 served up for the i8910 HD and 5800: youtube.sisx

No other application is currently having a network error.
I have 5800 v21.0.025 on t-mobile and wifi. Previous working youtube client was v2.2(9).
I have tried uninstalling any previous version. Rebooting. And then installing the new version but I still get the same error.
"Error, Could not connect, Problem with network connection"
I have reinstalled v2.2(9) but it now also gives the error.
"Error, Could not connect, Problem with network connection"
At least I can still go to m.youtube.com in native browser and all works fine there.

I just checked one of my own movies that I uploaded from my N97, and it shows in full wide screen without any borders. This goes for all the movies I've uploaded :)
Shame that the video quality is still crap though...
it searches youtube anyways and ebaum or vids off of myspace, dailymotion and more. It goes full screen. Lists of videos begin as you are still entering text.
client vs site vs vtap vs...
