Which is interesting. The link provided links to a RTSP stream that seems much more stable than youtube, at least for me.
I wonder what youtube are doing to these vids?
[edit] the "live" links play audio but not video it seems

Yes I noticed that with the live links too but at least it plays them. I can't even stream the audio links from the BBC which is why I think its either a codec or media player fault with the P1i.
It only seems to be a problem with streamed clips as if I download the 3gp clips they play no prob and its obviously not a prob with my router when I can get other sites to stream via WLAN or 3G.
It wouldn't be anything to do with branded firmware?
Im on the O2 version CXC16037 R9J005 but its been the same with the older firmwares too. |

@ alanruncie
thank you for the links. now that's the first time I saw the phone launch the realplayer application link to play streaming video. I don't get why some people just think that know everything about everything. There now we have supporting proof and evidence that it is indeed a phone/codec/media player issue which is what I stated from the beginning of the post. I'm not going to repeat myself yet again but let's all move on from here and forward something solid to SE so they'l issue a fix. i've tried playing streaming media including bbc audio/video streams, etc with the three different firmwares so I know for a fact that nothing has been fixed in that area even though the browser was updated on the last revision. |

I have managed to get the BBC audio streams to play, they have a tendency to just stop though - something internal to the media player by the look of it.
Maybe the issue here is with which application actually plays the stream - realplayer or media viewer - realplayer DOES seem more stable than the media viewer. |

Just to share,
In my P990 m.youtube plays perfectly on 3G,
but no luck on WiFi, it was buffering up to 100% but no video,
but it could be wlan router/connection problem. |

Don't know if this has already been posted?
I just forwarded the following ports on my Wireless router and m.youtube now works.
TCP 554
UDP 6970-9999
TCP 7070 |

Still doesn't play on my P1i. Works on my friends Palm 700, but not the p1.
I think its still a media player issue on the p1. I'm just curious as to how some phones don't have the issue while others do. This is what's weird. You all know the flashing globe on the status bar that indicates that internet data is being transferred thru the phone; well, that flashes for the duration of the clip in my phone. Say for example if I try to play a clip that's 45 seconds long, the globe seems to flash that long. And its been this way from the start for me, even before forwarding any ports, etc. (Netgear Router) So this seems to indicate that the data is being transferred, but the media player just can't recognize the clip/format.
I'm not claiming this to be true, its just a possibility, I'm not sure if others have observed this same behaviour.

I just wanted to add to my previous post.
Before I forwarded the ports I also got the flashing globe, but nothing happens apart from the % complete going from 0% to 100%. After forwarding the ports I still get the flashing globe but the % complete now goes up in steps. My Phone is actually a Hong Kong phone, but I changed the CDA number and re-flashed with Generic World 1 from SEUS.
My router is a Linksys WRT56GC.

My hunch is that most users who have the GW1 P1s can play videos off of m.youtube.com. And the rest of them with GW1 might be having router issues?
Anyone care to verify? I think my phone turned out to be French firmware or something when I checked it up on the Wiki page. |

This in NOT a router issue.
The problem also happens to a large number of users irrespective of whether they connect via WLAN, 3G or GPRS |

Mm, I agree. Could be it's a router- issue too, but it seems there's something going on with the media- player.

Okay,
Bit of further invesigation and not being a technical guru.....
I CAN now get the P1i to stream from m.youtube.com using WLAN by either opening up ports on the router or assigninging the P1i to the DMZ on the router.
BUT........
It still WONT stream on 3G or GPRS ????????s
Has this now got something to do with the way the P1i itself handles connections as obviously its now not a media player issue but a communications issue. |
