Hi everyone, I've looked all over the net for an answer and come up empty handed.
I have a 8330 from Sprint and whenever I try to run youtube (including m.youtube.com), tinytube, break.com, etc, I get an error that says "Media being played is of an unsupported format" message. I've tried a battery pull, setting the audio boost to off, setting the emulation mode to blackberry, checking all the browser option, and I've even upgraded my OS from 4.3 to 4.5, NOTHING WORKS. I get the same message every time. There HAS to be something I'm missing. If anyone can help me out, I'll be grateful.
What I'm saying is that, I can't watch ANY streaming video, regardless of what site I go to. I've tried youtube.com, I've tried m.youtube.com, etc. The problem is NOT with the sites I'm going to, it's with my BB. There HAS to be something I'm missing. Some setting somewhere or something along those lines. All the more common solutions I've found by searching the net, I've tried. I'm figuring this site is my last hope.
tae_254: If by battery pull you mean have I tried doing a reboot by removing the battery for a minute, then yes, I've tried that several times.
this is a real head scratcher. I cant be much help because Telus blackberry does not support it. apparently with the 4.5 update it will but they are not supporting the software yet (officiallly)

Tell me about it, I've been looking for an answer for days, literally scouring the internet and no one seems able to help. If I don't find the answer here, then I'm giving up hope.
I have this same error. I have a verizon 8330 upgraded to 4.5.0.77 and it always says unsupported media. Reallly annoying

Correction I can stream youtube just not anything else
Then you're better off than me, I can't even do youtube.
motorcyclemama: I can surf the net and access any website. It's not that I can't ACCESS youtube, it's that once I do, and I try to watch a video, I get the unsupported media error.
This seems to a problem with no real fix out there yet. However, I figure the reason is that it's only affecting a small number of people so a solution will be a lot slower to come.

I am in the same boat, though I can"t stream youtube.com at all. I have upgraded to the Verizon release of 4.5.0.77 and still nothing. The weird part is that I could, when I first got the 8330, watch youtube.vids, but now nada, just unsupported file type.
You can add my TMo 8320 into the boat. I had the Official 4.5 from TMo which never let me stream youtube or Moodio, It kept saying the invalid file type, which was crud, since i used the Betas before hand and worked fine. NowI'm om .93 no luck either i get the nice "Check web address error".
But i got a feeling the carriers are just trying to screw BB users since now the phones have gotten "smarter". Bad move I feel if your gonna compete with iPhone
Try out the .102 beta OS I just migrated to it since I had trouble running Flycast, and since then it seems a lot more is working. I got break.com, youtube, Flycast n moodio up n running again... Just for how long

Who here has a bis-b connection, and is having issues viewing any streaming media?
I think it has to do with the restrictions of bis-b. I am on MTS in Manitoba, and can't do anything with my phone, it is frustrating, as i bought it so i could listen to a private stream from my radio stations.
Are you trying to view youtube in opera or bb browser? I can view the videos by clicking the watch video link, but only in bb browser, not opera. I'm on verizon.

in the BB browser of course. Our providers block streaming, that's why some can't view streaming videos if they have a bis-b connection. You can be on the same provider and have a different connection, such as a BES, or Direct TCP/IP, then streaming works...
