    Hey all, I all of a sudden have an issue with youtube on my 9360 curve. It has the built in shortcut to mobile youtube app. The app works perfectally and I can eve click on videos but it will not actually play the video. No error messages or anything it just will not igknowledge that the video should play. Any thoughts on how to fix this I'm sure someone has come upon this before. Thanks!

    I found a newer version of yt for bb and installed it made no difference. I wonder if it is a java issue. I cannot seem to find anywhere an update or info for java on bb. I'll keep looking see if there is anything else I can figure out

    Your phone should play other video content normally. A temporary workaround for viewing YouTube videos is to use the Opera browser from BlackBerry World.

    I've tried the opera route and its like watching one giant pixel. Poor quality. Switching to desktop mode also does not work.

    Darn. Just tried Desktop mode and it does work. I was just retyping the workarounds I saw on other recent threads on this subject in the hope it helps someone.
