The Lillster Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 Well it looks like I can't watch youtube videos through the wii anymore, as you now need to have flash v.9 installed. So I was thinking, what's the point in having flash, if we can't even play the latest version?
The Lillster Posted May 8, 2007 Author Posted May 8, 2007 It'll probably be updated. Then a week later we'll all need to upgrade to flash 10 lol.
Stealthttd Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 its not nintendos fault or opreas...adobe hasnt sent out the dev kits for flash...so no one can port it over to a non windows or mac system..i remember reading that opera wanted to put flash 9 but just couldnt not because of hardware reasons but just that they couldnt.. its always possible to update the browser tho they only question is will they when they are able to..
ghost_zero Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 It would also be interesting to have Java-Support (for some websites, are not that much) but that is not that easily possible I guess... Although there should be a PowerPC-Version but that one needs Mac OS X, so therefore... But well with Java being or becoming Open-Source (don't know if it is already or will become it in the future) it would be possible but the question is if it is worth the effort doing this...
Bluejay Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 Wait, youtube is flash 9 only now? I swear I'm on 8 and I just watched some Death from Above 1979 video 10 mins ago.

I was on my Wii last night and a video wasn't working, saying I needed the latest flash player installed. But now it works. Either way it would be nice if we could have the latest versions. (I know it's not Nintendo' or Opera' fault).
Rapture1984 Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 On a similiar topic N Gamer keep banging on in their magazines that you can watch films from Peek Vid on your Wii, has anyone actually managed to do this?

Emasher Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 when i make flash stuff i make sure i go back to at least version 7
Jasper Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 On a similiar topic N Gamer keep banging on in their magazines that you can watch films from Peek Vid on your Wii, has anyone actually managed to do this? I used to get them workin (from tv-links), but since they updated their systems with that new RichNetApp, it doesn't work anymore. It's slow - but okay, it's not only slow on Wii. I haven't tested peekvid, but most of the videos barely work because of the slow loading, not only on the Wii, though.
