DolphinHD on Tim 5a will not play Youtube videos

Hello all,

I have a flytouch 3 on which I installed Tim's latest ROM. Youtube videos do not seem to play. I get an error message saying "sorry, this video cannot be played." Any suggestions, comrades?

Thanks in advance,
BK
 
Update: I installed something called "Full Version for YouTube" by Active9.com from the marketplace (it's a free app). I was able to get YouTube videos to work - but halfway through a video (the same video, and it happened twice) the screen went blank and all I could do to regain control of the tablet was to hold down the power button for > 5 seconds and do a hard reset (power cycle). Anybody have any clues?!?!
 
i must clarify that the YouTube video worked (for a short while) using the app - not DolphinHD. The vids won't play in DolphinHD
 
Yeah, mine is now running Tim's 5A ROM and it DolphinHD plays YouTube videos just fine.

Can you tell us more about your tablet? Model, Build, and such?
 
My model # is DISCO10. It's running Adroid 2.2-20110529. The kernel version is 2.6.32.9. I am running Tim's 5a ROM. I get a message when I open Dolphin HD telling me that I should update to Dolphin 6.0 and that it's available from the market - but when I do a search for it I don't get any hits! Another thing - when I go to youtube (YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.) Dolphin is showing the mobile version, not the full HTML version. To quote Samuel L. Jackson, my @ss might be dumb, but I'm not a dumb @ss. Please help!

I am not getting any messages to update and I am using the version that came with 5a too. Hmmmm. As far as the mobile version, and somebody can correct me if I am wrong, but I think all the apps we run are technically mobile versions. Market is nice but I download most of my apps, just google the app +apk. Yeah you have yo manually transfer or use dropbox or one of the sync managers.
 
Well, I'm running Tim's 5a and I swear to you that YouTube videos will not play in the Dolphin HD browser that got put on my flytouch 3. Come on, you flytouch 3 owner. I know that you can offer me some suggestions. I mean ZERO youtube vidoes play for me. All i get is a message that says "Cannot play video. Sorry, this video cannot be played." WTF?
 
..and why in the heck can't I fastforward videos in CCPlayer? I drag the progress bar to the right and all it does is go right back to where I started dragging it from!

Just out of interest, and before we get into a Richard measuring contest, you both seem to be assuming you have the same configuration but, as far as I can see, nobody has checked you are both running the same version of Dolphin.

Firmware version? Yes. But Dolphin? No.

Just a thought...

This could all be about how they were encoded. I can't give you exact specifics, but I have tons of video that will ff and skip fine in VLC but not Windows media, or they work on both but not on my MP4 player. I use Meridian right now and it happens on a couple of them.
