so why doesn't it work considering it is still a 3gp file supported by the phone?

As I attempted to explain before (but maybe wasn't clear enough) it has to do with the protocol used to transfer the file to you. A normal web page uses the HTTP protocol to transfer web pages between the server and your computer (or Q, in this case). YouTube decided to set up their mobile edition to use the RTSP (real time streaming) protocol to send the videos. By default, the Q (and other Windows Mobile 5 based devices from what I understand) do not support RTSP with the built in Windows Media Player software, nor does the popular Core Project Media Player (TCPMP) support RTSP (at least not the open source version that most of us use anyway). While most newer non-Windows Mobile based devices have media players that support RTSP, some WM5 based device manufacturers (such as HTC who makes the T-Mobile Dash and a few others) decided to include their own media player which DOES support RTSP. Unfortunately, us Q owners were not so fortunate. I'm still trying to find a free media player that will support RTSP (not just for YouTube Mobile either... many video and TV sites are moving to this standard for streaming video to mobile devices).

So would setting up an HTTP proxy to stream this stuff through be a viable solution?

I hadn't really thought about that, but it's quite possible that could work, yes. As long as the end result is the Q seeing it as an HTTP connection instead of an RTSP connection, theoretically it could work.

I think you meant... http://m.youtube.com

I got an unknown error Alert after trying to play a video. It launched WMP and then *poof...error.

I tried to get break.com to work, but to no avail. it says i need to download a file, but it doesn't mention which one. and then the m.youtube.com wouldn't work neither...

any other suggestions out there folks?
