We now have a way for you to watch Bambuser videos from your mobile device.
First, make sure you have Flash Lite 3.
Then, follow the steps to access the Bambuser player.
1. Install Flash Lite 3
Starting in 2008, Flash Lite 3 is expected to come preinstalled on Nokia smartphones and possibly phones from other manufacturers.
A few Nokia models released in 2007 will get Flash Lite 3 if you update them to the latest firmware.
| Model | Firmware versions with built in Flash Lite 3 | Code to check your firmware version | Where to get updates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nokia N82 | 20.0.062 or later | *#0000# | Nokia Device software update |
| Nokia N95 | 21.0.016 or later | *#0000# | Nokia Device software update |
| Nokia N95 8GB | 15.0.015 or later | *#0000# | Nokia Device software update |
| Nokia E90 | 200.34.72 or later | *#0000# | Nokia Device software update |
| Nokia 6300i | all |
This matrix may be incomplete. Let us know if you have another model with built-in Flash Lite 3.
Older S60 3rd Edition alternative
If you have an older Symbian S60 3rd edition phone not listed above it might still be possible to run Flash Lite 3 on it. Adobe has released a Developer Edition as a standalone S60 application (.sis). Adobe officially support the Developer Edition on Nokia N95 only, but it is known to work on older phones too. You can get it at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashlite3/ (registration required).
The Developer Edition does not replace the browser plugin in your phone. Hence you can't browse videos on http://m.bambuser.com when relying on it. Instead you launch Flash Lite 3 Developer Edition as a normal S60 3rd party application and then select the flash file (.swf) you want to run. Of course we provide an .swf for you (see below)
2. Access the Bambuser Flash Lite 3 player
If you like to use the player outside of the mobile browser, download bambuser-fl3.swf (right-click, save as) to your computer.
Then upload it to Flash's file directory on your phone
On Nokia:
C:/Data/Others (internal memory)
or E:/Others (external memory card)
When you launch flash as a standalone application next time, it appears in the list.
On Nokia:
Check the Media folder or the Applications folder for "Flash"
You can also browse videos and launch the player from our mobile site at http://m.bambuser.com
