hi
i have been trying to watch the videos on youtube with my n95 using t-mobile web and walk but get the message that i need to "update my flash player or turn on java script"
im pretty sure java is enabled but cannot find a suitable flash player to download
a few posts mention uploading videos to youtube but i have not seen any regarding watching the videos back
could really do with some help i even tried a different browser opera no joy

The N95 ships with a flash player called "Flash Lite", unfortunately it doesn't support Flash Video (which is what You Tube uses), but Adobe recently announced that the next version will.

You can access You Tube using the Video Center application on your phone though, open up Video Centre and go to "Add new services", from there you can add You Tube and the video's get played back in Real Player.

It doesn't let you search You Tube though but you can add RSS feeds and You Tube makes these available form their website.

cheers mate
thanks for helping
could you explain a little more about the rss feeds and how i get the you tube video i am looking for?
hope you can help

little update
i went to the video center and while looking around there was a choice to add services one of which was youtube beta service and rueters news
i added both but the youtube one doesnt seem to work
the rueters one downloads the video and then plays it in the realplayer but the youtube starts playing with a bar across a very small thumbnail but thats it looks like its about to play but doesnt
please can somebody help with this issue and the way i am supposed to load rss feeds of my favourite videos on youtube i would be very gratefull
