Title: Youtube - Can't Sign In
Post by: DWAnderson on January 03, 2021, 07:50:39 pm

When I attempt to sign in to Youtube using MC27, I get the following error from Google saying "Couldn't sign you in This browser or app may not be secure." (which I don't get using Edge or Chrome on this PC).

A screen grab showing this is attached.

Any way to solve this?

Hi there DWAnderson, this has been covered in other conversations. Try updating your settings in Tree&View, Web Browser to anything other than Internet Explorer. If you have other browsers loaded there should be other options. Eventually JRiver will be updated to take Explorer out as support is reducing.

Thanks. I note, however, that the same error occurs even with Chromium selected as the browser.

Yeah, Google blocks this unfortunately. It *might* work in the future when changing from Internet Explorer to Edge, but don't be surprised if it's still blocked by Google.

Not so.  The settings are for internal browser engines used by MC, not for browsers you install.  At this time, it's IE or Chrome.
