MC 33 Cannot play a youtube link
« on: December 21, 2024, 11:27:19 am »

I want to be able to play youtube links via MC33 so i am able to control my ASIO sound settings.
When pasting my youtube link into "open link" i get a message "there is nothing to play". Link is 100% correct

Assuming you're on Windows, you'd have to use the WDM driver if you want to pipe the audio through MC.

I checked WDM in the menu. I waited 10 minutes and restarted the PC.
I still see WDM checked but I do see a new device titled as WDM

YouTube in MC is broken again. It's out of our control, Google/YouTube keep blocking the avenues that allowed it.

Yes, so you'd have to use the WDM driver with a web browser like Chrome to watch YouTube and pipe the audio through MC as marko mentioned YouTube in MC's embedded browsers is broken so you'd have to do it in an external browser.

You'd have to make Windows use the WDM driver (JRiver Media Center) as the default audio output. This also would require Media Center to be open at all times in order to output audio.

MC's Options > Audio > Audio Device and select it from the drop down menu for the selected audio device.

One thing to note is if the ASIO driver for your DAC isn't listed and you're using the 64-bit version of Media Center do know some DAC manufacturers only release 32-bit ASIO drivers, in which case you'd have to switch to and use the 32-bit version of Media Center.
