what connection are you using? wifi, 3g or gprs?

yeah its a shiity app, have you tried playing youtube through our browser if you have a n95-2?

I'm having the same problem ..

I've tried to use wifi and EDGE network to load videos through the browser but neither one worked and I keep getting those "server timed out" messages ...

As for what connection i am using i am not 100% sure i no its not wi fi but other than that not sure , Its 0n o2 so whatever they would use maybe ? Sorry cant be any clearer as i said before not really up on tech stuff and took a gamble getting this phone and looks like might have been the wrong gamble for a techno phobe

Its not a o2 or access point problem, its a "the youtube app blows chunks" problem.

Thats said, navigate to: Realplayer>Options>Settings>Streaming>Network>Defa ut Access Point, and set it to whichever access point your trying to connect via, ie o2. If that doesn't work than I'm not sure what will. It certainly is a problem on the youtube end (I can get it to wwork at some access point but not others), as every other application I have works perfectly everywhere.

Also, for N95-2 (and 4 also?) owners, update your firmware, go to "youtube.com" in your nokia or opera browser, scroll to the bottom, click "view desktop version" and it should work.


If you are a N95-1/3 or N82 owner, I would highly recommend getting both emtube and mobitubia as they are both superior in quality and functionality to the youtube app.

i tried going to youtube today using wifi and it's not working.

i had the same problem when i tried to connect to a wifi network at the office. i tried it at another wifi network at home, it works ok. it's also not the youtube appliction. it's the realplayer. also, i think it has something to do with the firewall. it's possible that certain ports are being blocked by the firewall, that's why your realplayer is not streaming.
