X1 playing youtube

[Bubble]

Hey guys, I thought the XPERIA wasn't going to have flash lite pre-installed but this guy played some youtube vid's on the X1 through Opera.

There are some screenshots of it here http://dailymobile.se/2008/09/07/pic...a-screenshots/

That's nice. But hopefully you're able to zoom. On the screenshots the video is so small.

it will have Opera 9.5 + Flash Lite 3.0

From wikipedia:
Flash Lite 3 is based on Flash 8, which brings closer the gap between mobile and desktop content by supporting H.264 video standard, as well as On2 VP6 and Sorenson video codecs. It also introduces the support to FLV video content.

X1 will not support it natively but if there is other software installed (like opera mobile 9.5) then it will be able to play it through them, its just annoyiing that it wont support it natively.

As far as I know the m.youtube.com has far less movies uploaded. I tried that once with my P1i, and the videos were working, but I searched for something specific and that video wasn't found. But that was about half a year ago, maybe they updated the whole mobile youtube thing.

Oh okey. I haven't tried it, just looked at it a few days ago =) Youtube is almost something that HAS to work on my phone. If it doesn't, I have to have my computer on so that I can log on to it remotely and stream the videos that way =P

@norseman:
and is there really any need to have it run natively? you can run a .swf file with opera if you want... but there are stand-alone flash players out anyway

what's so special about running it natively?

I think what's really important for users about Flash Lite 3.0 is the content that it contains in many of the popular websites. Nothing is more frustrating when using a kickass smartphone like the Xperia X1, only to be stalled at a cool website with a dour message like "Flash player is not installed" or "Flash version is not supported" or some other depressing words to the effect.

Another thing also is that Flash Lite is browser dependant, so it is up to Opera to work with Adobe to come up with the plug-in that works with Opera Mobile 9.5 AND in WinMo 6.1. Last I heard that the new IE mobile 6 will have Silverlight in it, but not sure about Flash Lite.

At the end of the day, I would just like to watch my Happy Tree Friends (www.happytreefriends.com) in my Xperia X1
