I'm on .133 and mobile youtube site works for me.

Videos play fine.

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~

It seems to be provider based issue. Having success with Tmo on both wifi and edge.

The people who are having wifi problems, do you by any chance have 802.11n enabled routers?

No 802.11n router; probably just the current firmware for me I guess.

hey all, need help... why whenever i wanna start streaming vids on my 8900, it says "Switch to WAP for streaming media" is it all like that? or its because my app version is 4.6.1.101?

I have .250 software on my curve, Rogers, and i seem to have the same issue. i can load the video, and the screen dims like it is about to play, shows video length, but after about 30 seconds and with data arrows flashing constantly like it is buffering the video, i get "an error has occurred attempting to play media" I've been searching for answers on this subject for almost 4 hours now, wow my eyes are hurtin. I've tried everything from APN settings, to other media sites, i was viewing somebody's porch they have on this site, that stream was fine, not sure if it's just youtube being blocked....

youtube works fine for me.

I have had horrible experience with youtube and my 8900 on CBW. But to confuse me even more, I now started to get a pop-up on my bolt browser that says can't play thru network, save to media card and play from there. It worked great. Not sure why this notification just started to show up.

If you are looking for a icon for youtube go here. Wap.getjar.com and click on apps then do a search.

Full youtube works fine with the wifi and edge network on my 8900.could be your browser settings or defective unit.make sure you have the latest os update and under browser settings click yes for mobile streaming.

I've been searching for weeks on this exact problem.

Have you found a solution yet? Would be EXTREMELY grateful if you could share!

I first noticed the problem when still running 4.6.x.x OS on the 8900, and the conditions are essentially the same with 5.0.0.190. Having experimented a lot, I've learned how to make it work reliably.

If I simply open a blackberry browser (either one -- WAP / T-Mobile browser or "Internet" browser) and type in m.youtube.com, I have the classic "loading..." problem, where it simply stalls out with the "loading..." message when I try to view a video.

What I learned is that this happens when the "Internet browser" is invoked to load the mobile site. Apparently the browser/system isn't "smart enough" to automatically switch over to WAP when streaming the youtube videos.

If, instead, I create a bookmark for m.youtube.com and save it, there is an option to specify which of your browsers will load the site that the bookmark points to. I set this in the bookmark definition to my WAP browser, which in my case is the T-Mobile browser, and them m.youtube.com works perfectly every time -- as long as I get there by using this bookmark.

Although I haven't tried it yet, I imagine that I could change my default browser to "T-Mobile browser" instead of its current setting of "Internet browser". That might do the trick as well.

Anyway -- it seems that the critical item here is to use WAP transport to stream youtube videos. As long as I do that, the results are perfect.
