Using YouTube for first time ...failed :-(
« on: June 06, 2015, 09:44:35 am »

Friend emailed me a youtube music vid to watch and it played fine on my phone. Thought I'd give JRiver youtube option a go for first time.  Searched and found the vid, but MC said error file not found, downlad same error.  Same with a most other vdeos (ut nat all)

Goodle URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1-4u9W-bns

Plays fine on HTPC chrome browser

Any ideas

The link you posted didn't work for me either. But in general, YouTube videos work with MC. I was just watching some movie trailers on YouTube last night. There were updates made in MC recently (as YouTube changed their API) so make sure you are running the latest version of MC (it's at the top of this forum).

Many of the music videos on YouTube are encrypted and can only be played via the YouTube player (which has the decryption key). These are often marked with VEVO (I don't know what that means, and don't really care).

Any "protected" content on YouTube does not work.  Basically everything else (which is the vast majority of things on YouTube) does.
