Youtube mobile was touch and go for me on OS 4.3. I kept getting the “unsupported format” error, and had to keep refreshing several times to get it to work.

With 4.5.0.97 it works just fine on my 8130.

Tyler, this issue is fortunately not related to your code but to Youtube, I get this error and similar at my desktop regardless of Browser.this I can only believe comes down performance on the youtube side. I get around this eventually by repeatedly refreshing my browser.

I have an 8320. Just upgraded to OS 4.5, and every time I try a YouTube video I get the message: “An error has occurred attempting to play media.” This didn’t change that, unfortunately

I am using 4.5.0.52 on a pearl 8100. I am still not able to get m.youtube.com to stream. 3 have noticed a lot of folks getting the ‘unsupported format…’ Type of error. But all I get is a media player window with a blank screen.

Does anyone have any ideas?

@ Connie, It would not play the full video although I had 4.5 OS the latest one.

@ DavidB, There isnt a 4.5 for EVDO. Not to my knowledge at least.

Sorry I think this also works for OS 4.3. At least I heard that it does. Sorry I dont have every device to test this out. Thats why I put it out to all of you… Shared knowledge and all

“I wouldn’t recommend this on EDGE but EVDO should be fine.”

[...] “Mobile YouTube support has been in the feature list for OS 4.5 for quite awhile. The problem is that I have not managed to get it to work on my OS 4.5.0.37 BlackBerry 8310. It keeps on giving me an error. While I don’t care all that much I know many people who would love to show up their iPhone toting friends with YouTube. “ Read the full post on Berry Review. [...]

I “think” its a Rogers issue. I got an error once that said if you want access to youtube you can do it via the rogers browser. I tried the settings above and it still doesn’t work. Not that I care too much

My 8310 worked on youtube mobile from the first 4.5 os i’ve seen on here. I didn’t have to change anything. and, yes, it is a bit sluggish on edge, but it works now.

My bb browser has been finicky though.
