But your hands aren't

That's what happens when you play with your Wii. >_>

Yay for one-handed controllers! '>_>

lmfao.

Does anyone notice that youtube does not work. It says flash is out of date or javascript is not turned on. I have also tried dailymotion.net and it works without any problems. Are we going to have to wait until March for a updated flash?

hey....you can watch youtube.com video's with it, does anyone know what other video formats it does support

Ceric · « **Reply #55 on:** December 22, 2006, 11:43:37 AM »

It only supports You Tube because it's Flash. It supports no real video formats as of now. (At least known.)

D_MaN87 · « **Reply #56 on:** December 22, 2006, 02:35:37 PM »

So can anyone here see videos from youtube. I keep getting a "please install latest flash player" message.

JonLeung · « **Reply #57 on:** December 22, 2006, 04:10:28 PM »

Supposedly that's fixed now, or something. I'm not at my Wii to check, but it was apparently a temporary thing. It worked, it didn't, and it should work again now.

Louieturkey · « **Reply #58 on:** December 22, 2006, 04:16:11 PM »

I like it. The one problem I have is there is no way back to the menu except by hitting the home button.

Zach · « **Reply #59 on:** December 22, 2006, 04:27:24 PM »

D_MaN, I was having the same problem with Youtube earlier today, but I have not tried it again since then. In light of what Jon said, I will have to check next time I am on.

EDIT. Just tried youtube and it is working fine.

My two cents on the Internet Channel Trial Version: It's pretty good as it is, although it obviously has much room for improvement. For instance, I'd really like to see USB keyboard support added in the final version, which is evidently due for release the last week of March, 2007.

this def is a niice function to have, just needs better scrolling and zooming.

fun fact-opera is impervious to spoiler text.. unless you press 2

my problem with youtube is sometimes it says missing plugging, othertimes it doesnt load all the way, seems after you watch a vid, the buffer on it dies quick. does having an sd card in the system add more mem to cache for the system?

BlkPaladin · « **Reply #63 on:** December 22, 2006, 07:46:58 PM »

Not that I know of but that does bring up a problem does the browser use system memory to cache or does it use the free blocks on the system to do so.

I must have the worlds greatest Wii (ha,ha, get out of your system people) because I have never had any of the problems described by people occur on it. You Tube worked fine all day yesterday and I have yet to have my Wii freeze up on a site. I chalked it up to robust Nintendo brand product now I'm thinking extremely good luck from the Wii gods themselves. Anyway, my wife and I watched a ton of videos but what I cant wait for is the ability to download game saves Dreamcast style once again. That was one of the coolest functions of the DC on-line.

I think almost all of the features that should be added for March have already been listed... but I would add a find/search function, as well as remembering more back/forward pages (I think 5 is the max?)

I also managed to freeze the Wii earlier just going back/forward between 2 sites. Had to pull the plug to get it to reset...

1st post from my Wii!!

JonLeung · « **Reply #67 on:** December 23, 2006, 10:07:33 AM »

They should never have a "final" version. Maybe something like a 1.0-type version (a satisfactory version) should be due in Spring next year or whatever but they should always consider possible updates. Security fixes, support for other things like different types of streaming media, etc. I don't expect that Nintendo should give up on it, especially if it turns out to be a popular feature.

Go and see that youtubed Warioware video called "sucess!" and try to imitate the moves since you already have the wiimote in your hands!

I'm going to test something, so bare with me.

According to GoNintendo, this site should allow tabbed browsing on the Wii Internet Channel.

I'm gonna go see.

EDIT: Okay. It does work, but it's a little wonky. Anything that is target=_blank wipes out the tabs. To get it to launch you have to register (blek) and then click on the link that reads "basic" from their link under the Wii category called "tabbed browsing."

It also adds a Google search bar and a scroll bar.
