Hello all
When I try to watch YouTube videos on www.m.youtube.com, this is what happens:
It seemingly buffers for maybe a minute. When I press Play I either get an error message (Opera 9) or the telephone crashes (Opera Mini).
Has anyone made m.youtube work on this phone or similar phones?
Regards

Hello, i think it is a problem with your router.
When i try at home with my linksys router it doesnt works.
When i try at a friend, with a livebox from orange it works
When i try with my GPRS connection it works.
You tried in GPRS ? |

Thanks!
I haven't tried with GPRS yet.
Maybe you're right about the router. Theoretically it works fine with everything else. If the router causes this problem: I wonder if there is something I could change. It's a cheap Belkin (just three months old).

From Blog Enrii :
Option 1
This problem could be fixed by configuring my mobile device to be in DMZ zone, but this is not advisable due to security issues since you are exposing all ports of your device to the internet. However, it certainly worth a try to know whether it works this way. And, I did try to configure my Dlink router and get the YouTube videos playing properly in my PDA.
Option 2
I tried to reduce the number of UDP ports configured in Options of Streaming Media. I configured it range to become 1024 to 2048, allowing only 1024 ports. Then, I fix the IP of my device and port forwarding those ports to my PDA. And I got the videos playing properly. Again, please be reminded that there could also be security issues when you do this, but at least, you are not exposing all the port of your device to the internet.
