YouTube or Flash Works Fine on the Nokia N95

David Mannl, a Flash-lite developer, reports that Flash files like YouTube movies will be playable on the upcoming Nokia N95’s web browser. So far none of Nokia’s current phones are capable of running Flash on the browser. This is possible thanks to the Flash-Lite 2.0 that will be included in the new S60 3rd Version Feature Pack 1. This feature will make a lot of people happy. If this holds true, I can see myself spending a lot of time with the Nokia N95 during my boring lectures and during long trips. It also makes this already best-of-what’s-new phone more desirable.

  1. You said that no Nokia phones so far have been able to play Flash… you are actually wrong:
    My Nokia 7710 that I had before my E61 that I have right now (see my E61 blog: http://www.jake61.wordpress.com/ ) could play Flash though it was really slow and even froze/restarted sometimes (it was a touchscreen and the touchscreens of the day did that…)

  2. Hey Jake, were you able to play youtube videos?

  3. thats a lie, flash lite 2 doesnt support flv’s

  4. even 2.1 ain’t supporting flash or youtube :(

  5. Does any one know how to play flv or swf file in nokia N93?

  7. I’ve got an n95 and whilst it’ll display a video on youtube, if you click play nothing happens - the cursor simply gets trapped in the video window. :(

  8. @tristan thanks for bringing this up. Looks like youtube will only work through video centre.

  9. Guys,

    Can I open FLV files downloaded from youtube on may N73? It has a Flash Player and Real Players instaled.

    Cheers

  10. I use windows media recorder to record youtube videos, then use imtoo3gp converter to convert the flv to mp4to play on the N95. Play around with the settings to get optimal outputs, perhaps someone on here can elaborate. or give an alternative

  11. i wish they would just say how to get my n95 to play you tube at their site, and not have to watch tif limited on video centre. Please tell me how.

  12. I tried opening a .swf file in my nokia n95. but it gave me an error that “not enough memory to open file”.

    Any ideas what to do?

  13. try 2 close off the camera cover when playing large files

  14. Thts not true, i do have the flasplayer build in my Nokia N95, but still i cant play no videos at all, like not from the web, no youtube, no myspace one, nothing. can anyone help me out with that. I even tried to download the flashlite 2.0 in my Nokia N95, but it says not supported, have no idea what to do.

  15. I’ve got the same problem i can’t view any videos through my browser on my n95. has anyone got any ideas where to find an update and if one exists.

  16. tinytube.net is a good website to use to watch videos on n95. It converts youtube and other video sites to real player format.

  17. If you want to Get a Video from youtube or any other Video site try this online website converter it is good i have used it on my N95. from the day i had it. it is very good and quick. The link to that website is http://www.zamzar.com/url/

  29. I tried to find solution to watch youtube via WiFi connection, but still no solution till now :(

  30. I can’t get allot of sites which had flash headers to load on my n95, one site has a flash login form and it just won’t load, it sucks.

  31. how can i find a flash plaeyer at my n95 8gb

  32. If i remove the flash player thats already on the n95 and install the latest one, will that work for sites like redtube?

  33. PLEASE READ IF YOU WANT YOU TUBE AND OTHER VIDEOS ON YOUR MOBILE

    I just went to Mobitubia.com on my mobile and downloaded the app straight off the site (at the bottom of the page). It is a sick program I highly recomend it. I was having trouble on my n95 8gb… when i went on you tube it would connect, try to load, then say that the server had timed out. Then I downloaded Mobitubia and it works like a chalm

    respect to linkstate, for his recomendation

  34. couldn’t get it to work for redtube, could anyone else?

  35. i already install te emtube and works great!
    only on youtube site and open FLV files on my MMC
