Internet Channel Video Support

[bill]

Just wanted to know, does the Internet channel stream any type of video format?

[Nirvana09]

Hello Bill. I'm pretty sure the Wii cant stream video like WMV and some others. But it can watch embedded video like those from Youtube.

[bill]

Yeah, youtube vids Do you know any other supported formats?

I think flash 7 is all it does... Which isn't even the latest flash but, good enough for youtube.

I hope they update the flash because its getting annoyingly out of date.

Yeah. Youporn doesn't work on the Wii

It supports anything up to Flash 7. That means Youtube will work, but it means most newer flash games don't. I did however discover imeem.com which runs in Flash 7, so you can go there for free (and fast) streaming music, on-demand (requires a free account, but I already had one before I even knew the Wii could use it, it's a cool site in the first place).

They have, but for some reason, they can't.

Opera is waiting for the next Flash to be available to them so they can put it in.

Adobe needs to release a Flash 8 SDK for non-computers.
