Caveats
- Vision for YouTube is dependent not only on your phone's capabilities, but your currently available bandwidth. Some carriers block access to stream via RTSP.
- If you cannot stream with the BlackBerry browser from http://m.youtube.com, you will likewise not be able to use Vision for YouTube.
- Vision for YouTube plays the only available YouTube stream that will work on BlackBerry and the application has no ability to impact the quality of the audio or video.
- If you receive an error code from the media player, there is unfortunately nothing we can do about it. The application utilizes the provided media player component, therefore you will get to see both it's good and bad behaviors. We have provided a list of Player Error Codes for you to help determine the specific nature of your issue. Overwhelmingly, the majority of problems occur due to lack of bandwidth.
