Until today, many of you who tried watching videos on m.youtube.com from your mobile phones may have longed to see a wider selection of videos and more community features that you've come to know and love on YouTube.com. Now you can..."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20080128-youtube.gif" /><br /><br />The new and improved YouTube for Mobile now includes tens of millions of videos, community features, support for mobile phone uploads, and localizations for fifteen countries outside the US. Accessing the new YouTube for Mobile remains the same: simply point your browser to <a href="http://m.youtube.com/">m.youtube.com</a>. Most of HTC's newer devices and select devices from other OEMs ship with software that supports the RTSP streaming requirement for viewing YouTube content. If you're unfortunate enough to be left in the dark, there are plenty of workarounds (<a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/search.php">search our forums</a> for "YouTube").

It doesn't work on my AT&amp;T 8525 (with the official WM6 rom.)

Checking out the forums now.

Unfortuntely my HTC Touch (Vogue) doesn't work either. Windows media player gives an error when trying to play the stream.

After installing the cab file described in the workaround and also copying over the appropriate files into the windows directory, I was finally able to do this with my Dell Axim X51V. Thanks, Darius.

The combination of TCPMP (v0.72RC1) and the 'workaround' stuff (Skunkworks Flash Video Bundle and Macromedia Active X) allows streaming or downloading of FLV videos on the full YouTube site with my WM6 Atom. This new mobile YouTube site gives nothing but annoying warnings and then errors about 'RTSP protocol not supported (in TCPMP) or a numbered error in WNP ('An unknown error 0X800274D has occurred'). How wonderful. I suppose it's because it's in 3GP format? So between the address protocol and the video wrapper, these millions of videos are out of reach, at least as it seems from this phone.

I am using TyTn II and the mobile youtube is working perfect for me. For the full youtube website, I am using TCPMP and the flash plugin and also working perfect.

Not working on my Touch (Vogue) but I don't particularly care since vTap does it fantastically right now. Why launch two programs when one will do?

Works fine on mine (brand new WM6 Dopod U1000). Haven't tried it on my Loox yet though.

I can access the site on my HTC Touch but once the streaming software opens it says connecting and nothing happens after that.
