someone help please!

many thanks

Dan

It cannot play videos unless youtube kinda method used for decoding.and probably u might have been trying to play flash3 video which is not supported by w995. Use built it youtube client or m.youtube.com

didnt understand lol how do i view them?

What website you tried, Where you're desired video is there?

www.bbciplayer.co.uk

I don't have much knowledge about that website. But the thing is our w995 support flashlite version 2.1 as per my knowledge which itself never supports video with voice audio so its obvious that the web browser also doesn't support videos. May be bbciplayer videos encoded in flashlite version 3 or above thats wy the website looking for the higher version of flash player which is neither present nor supported by w995 clear. But the videos can be streamed if the website supports with the profile adopted by the mobile. Understand?
But built in bbciplayer there in some branded firmwares in w995 I think we can get it with some trick. I read about it some here. If I get i'll post you the link.

ok so is there any way i can update the flash and i unbranded my phone..!

Its never possible unless a firmware update of patch with such a blowing support. I guess either hardly happen.

I am able to watch bbc iPlayer on my W995, by going to the BBC iPlayer website, however I can only watch streaming video over the mobile internet and not if connected by wifi, I know the BBC iPlayer website states that the W995 should be able stream over wifi, but I have never managed to get mine to do it, either before or after I debranded it. I am able to download catch up video's over wifi.

Hope this is some help

@ sam.forshaw

Are you using a Belking router?

@corman

I am not using a belkin router, I am using a BT Home Hub Version 1, to be honest I haven't tried it with a different wireless router, as everyone I know has a home hub.
