Slightly ajar

Some people have been experiencing issues with YouTube on the trial version of the Wii Browser. This is something both Opera and youTube are looking into and we'll do our best to solve this issue and report back as soon as the issue is identified. Prior to the release of the Wii Browser, we have been working with Youtube to solve issues, such as full screen playback and optimisation due to memory requirements. YouTube was working up until earlier today. I assure you that there is no conspiracy on the part of YouTube or Opera.

There will always be teething troubles with things such as this, as there are limited Wiis available to test on, and with Christmas looming many people are off travelling back to their families. I actually wasn't aware of this issue until I turned my phone back on after clearing customs at Newcastle Airport. Before leaving everything was working great. Please be patient while we work on this and have a very merry Christmas from everyone here at Opera.

In related news, I've just updated my post on designing for Wii to mention the Flash version and the browsers Small Screen Rendering like capabilities.
