Cannot connect to Google
« on: August 31, 2022, 06:50:28 am »

When I select Google Videos or Youtube, I try to connect using my gmail id and password, but the answer is "this browser or application is not compatible". With Process Explorer I find that the windows belongs to the Microsoft Webview2 process.

That's down to Google with typical OTT Aplomb banning/preventing all Embedded Web Browsers, including there own variant, from accessing YouTube.

Then there is no reason to have Google stuff in the Streaming features. ?

Well, you can still use YouTube... you just can't log into an account. As mentioned Google blocks embedded browsers like WebView2 (Edge) and CEF (Chromium) from logging into YouTube.
