JRiver and Youtube
« on: January 29, 2014, 01:26:28 pm »

Hi ;

I`m new to this!

Would anyone be so kind and explain to me how I get youtube (flash), to play thru asio, like everything else does ? :)
I can even play video image files thru JRiver media player, and get sound thru asio and my DAC, but Youtube I haven`t got to work...

Thx in advance!!

Hold down the ctrl key when you click on the youtube video in JRiver.  This should give you a menu: choose "play inside the player" and it should work with the normal audio chain.

Can you please describe your trouble in more detail?

What are you trying to achieve, and what result do you actually get?  "Don't work" is not very descriptive.

YouTube has simply loaded the video in the browser rather than giving me the prompt to play or download via Media Center now. It's been like this for at least a month.

Does this happen with all YouTube videos or just some?  I am not seeing this behavior.  In the past I never checked the "Always use this answer..." box, and I almost always get the pop up for selecting actions (except some videos, which I suspected to be some sort of playlists).  Today I checked the box.  It seems to do what it should - always do the same thing.  And clicking a video link while holding down the CTRL key always brings up the dialog.  I have not restarted MC since I have been recording television shows, so I do not know what happens after a restart.  I am puzzled why it would not work the same way for you.

It happens with all YouTube videos that I have tried so far. I have a number of channels added under "Connected Media" and use Standard View with Internet Explorer as the browser engine.

I am not seeing this behavior.  In the past I never checked the "Always use this answer..." box, and I almost always get the pop up for selecting actions (except some videos, which I suspected to be some sort of playlists).  Today I checked the box.  It seems to do what it should - always do the same thing.  And clicking a video link while holding down the CTRL key always brings up the dialog.
I have just tried, and it seems that I do in fact get the prompt if I hold down the CTRL key, but if I simply click on a video link, it opens the video page in the browser - even after I held down CTRL and set my preference to automatically download videos.

Before, when I opened a youtube video, a small "window" popped up, and asked if I wanted to play or download etc.. Now, that windows doesn`t popup anymore, and hence, I get no sound.. ( asio )
And yes, I`ve tried CTRL, 30 times..

Sorry for bad explaination, my english is not that good..:(

Thx for any help in this matter!!

Sorry, I cannot repeat the problem.  Have you tried switching which browser engine MC uses?

Tools -> Options -> Tree & View -> Web Browser.  Any difference between Internet Explorer and Chromium with CTRL held down while you click?

Thx, but same result.. no pop up asking me if I want to download or play... It starts playing directly in the browser there.. It`s hard to explain, but before I got a popup asking me if I wanted to dl or play - then it worked thru my asio. Now, it plays thru windows hdmi to my TV, and that is not how I want it. :s

Just to clarify, does it open within the MC window (see attached) or does it open in a new browser window?

How are you accessing YouTube in the first place?

Yes,  it is within the MC window

From the left menu, I chose Video -> Connected Media -> Youtube -> then I search for a video, and click on it..

This has worked fine before...
I have no idea what has changed :(

Unfortunately, it seems to be caused by changes on YouTube server.  Video urls that contain some formats that we do not understand will not be played inside MC player.  Also it seems that each time you click the link, the YouTube server may give you different video url (in particular, when you click the links with or without holding down the CTRL key).

I use ASIO and don't have this problem.  I get the choice box whenever I hold down CTRL and click, and get the box about 50/50 when I don't hold down CTRL.  It really depends on the video: if I get the box automatically for a video, I get it everytime I click on that video.

Do you have another computer you could test on and see if it works there?  That might help narrow down the issue.  

The NC400's look amazing. A friend of mine is building a pair, and I can't wait to hear them  ;D

Sooo, I finally got YouTube playback to work again with the CTRL dialog box and in Theater View as well. And my choice to play inside the player is remembered too.

What I did was run CCleaner to clean the cache, cookies etc. in Internet Explorer and Chrome, and then it worked again in MC. Currently I have IE selected as browser engine and I'm not logged into YouTube (don't know if it matters).

Seems there was some cookie or something that messed with the YouTube links so they didn't work in MC.

Unfortunately I have IE clear all data whenever it quits, so it's not a bad cookie causing the problem here.

I've noticed that once I log on to YouTube, the dialog box stop appearing, and the videos just play in the webpage. Logging off again doesn't help, but once I clear the IE data it works again. If there is a cookie or some other data that gets stored I don't know, but it's, at least in my case, the logging on that breaks the playback through MC. I hope this can be fixed so MC can once again play YouTube videos when logged on.

Same here - It`s quite a struggle, actually... Logging out of youtube and deleting cookies every time... :p
