   Tried downloading the jar listed at the link above on my 8130 and it failed.

   Just though I would give you a heads up.

   I also tried downloading the JAR file on my 8830 and it wouldn’t load the file. Here’s the error I received:

   Error: Invalid manifest or application descriptor.

   The “javax.microedition.io.Connector.rtspMIDIet-Perissions-Opt” attribute is invalid

   —-
   Not sure if it’s because I have an 8830. I’m a newbie to this blog and just wanted to try it out.

   Yeah I guess there truly is no love for the BlackBerry. I was hoping OS 4.3 on the 8130 would be able to handle it

I’m a newbie and hearing-impaired.I have unlimited data access;T-Mobile as provider thru GoAmerica.com. Thanks for any help. (My first time to visit this site.Read most of the comments which I find great so I wondered if I can find answers to my questions also.

   ChemTutor,
   Sorry currently there is no way to watch youtube videos that I can recommend other than using a converter from your PC and then copying them over. Any other way just does not work.
   Glad your liking the site. Let me know if you have anything else!

   Glad to hear its been a help EMPLU. Sadly video on the BlackBerry has not seen any improvements and is still pretty bare bones. Even the new 4.3 release did not change much. On the other hand companies such as slingplayer are doing their best to mobilize video to work on your BlackBerry. Hopefully it will work well.

   For the 8310 all I can recommend is to wait until the new OS is released for it.

    video4blackberry.info is a good site for videos on the bb, you have to download it onto your pc first and then drag it over to your blackberry storage file, it will play on media player i’ve got over 20 downloads, check it out,,,, go to my computer left click and make it a short cut on the desktop.. but dont delete them make new folder and then drag them there you might get bored, you’ll have something to view at later date like rerun on the go…..

    Youtube works just fine on my Blackberry Curve as well as my Pearl. You have to have your properties set right though.
    1) in browser go to Browser config
    2)Browser should be – Internet Browser
    3)Make sure to Uncheck-Support Javascript
    4) Uncheck-support HTML tables,
    5)Uncheck- support embedded Media.
    6)Make sure Emulation mode is set to Blackberry
    Do this and should work, at least all mine do

    I got my Storm to play videos from Youtube using the configuration that ZEKE used. I also set my browser id to IE.
