Vevo on WebOS?

vince400 · 04/07/2011, 06:17 PM

Hi!

Is there a way to watch vevo's videos on a Palm Pre-??
Because I always get an error message when I try to watch a video that is on Vevo and I can't find an app or a patch that resolve the problem.

Thanks for your help!

if you have 2.0 and flash, you can view it in flash in the browser. might be slow though

I dont know if all but alot of the VEVO videos are on youtube, are they available to view on a mobile?

no, when we click on a video that is from Vevo on youtube i get an error message telling me there was error when opening the video.
The exact message (in French) is: "ERREUR: Une erreur est survenue pendant la lecture du fichier"
So I can't view them on my Pre

Vevo puts its videos on Youtube for free to users, in exchange for advertising dollars from the ads on the video page and in the video itself. As such, it blocks both embedding and watching a video on mobile. In order to watch them, you need a special Vevo app like they have on iOS and Android.

there is one very convoluted way. there are some websites that if you give them a youtube url, they will give you a direct download link (keepvid.com, savevid.com). You might need the browser patch that lets you stream media files though.
