HI! I went on youtube.com to watch and listen tomy favorite music as usual but a nifty little message came up saying i needed to dl the latest "adobe flash player". PROBLEM: currently, adobe doesnt have software that supports us. Wierd thing is that the video will play just fine , for a fraction of a second, only to have that message rudely interupt, then the screen goes blank. What should i do?

You will like the rest of us,have to wait for Sony to fix this in a future firmware update,it's summat to do with changes to the you tube player which means our PS3 browsers dont support it at moment

I dont. It doesnt even load up what i searched for. The videos dont even show up, as it ALWAYS does on the regular version. It even loads videos that have about a 0% to do with ANYTHING i search for.

This is not Sony's fault, this is youtube's fault.

Blame youtube for suddenly changing the layout and format of their videos on such a short notice.

There is a way to get around it for now until Sony updates the flash player. If you go to the persons actual page who uploaded the video, it should play fine

Go to www.YouTubeXL.com. It's designed especially for the ps3. I know that having the XL on the end of it sounds somewhat suspicious but trust me it doesn't show anything crazy. I was thinking wth at first while it was loading me to the site but actually it's just the ps3 version of youtube.

Wait, do people actually use the PS3's browser? It's so broken I can't believe it's even still a feature. Then again, I have two PCs within six feet of my PS3.

It is broken, but I've been able to watch many TV shows and movies from the comfort of my living room instead of being hunched over my desktop for hours because of it.

Yeah thanks for the replies. I guess i will have to go to each person's account to watch the videos normally.
