Anyone else find that the YouTube app is useless? I know someone has confirmed the bug where when it plays a video the text "Loading..." remains on top flashing away.
However I've noticed it become increasingly unreliable lately, where it will display
"Playback Error.
This video format is not supported."
Or it will just display a black screen with the text "Loading...".
If I use the app on my PS3 or laptop they play fine. Went to play a trailer to show a family member and I tried 4 different uploads and non played at all, making me have to dig out this laptop.
BTW I have a 100Mb connection with Virgin Media and other devices have zero issues with YouTube.

I am now experiencing issues when using the app. if the box records, the box is unable to exit YouTube. only a power cycle can shift it. 2580 on the remote doesn't shift it.
Guess what, I did try that. So you tell me when the box freezes what do you do?
Did you wait for the recording to finish first, before pulling the plug?
yes of course!
Several power cuts however caused the recording buffer file to be corrupt with the consequence of no live pause etc. A format will be necessary to correct when I get around to it.

Well in the situation you describe, I would first try a network cable disconnect to see if it picks up the connection going down.
What does that have to do with an app that has crashed. The network cables are fine, new and no network issues.
A search in my iPhone App Store yields nothing.
What is it called, please.

The usual YouTube app
As already said above, just the YouTube app that's already available.
Open YouTube settings on iPhone and select Connected TV's and then pair with the Hummy by adding the code the Hummy YouTube app gives you.
Thanks GONZO & youddiph.
I selected "connected TV""
It brought up a screen on the iPhonethat said
1 -- go to theYouTube app on your TV or game console.
There seems to be no such app on TV or Humax freesat HDR.

Now I see this thread is about the hdr 1000s not the old hdr
It is back and working again. However, the constant loading icon centre screen is still there. This really is poor CS.
really they said they are working on it and new sw is imminent
Theres a certain amount that YouTube can do remotely to make the app work. Anything beyond that will require a software update to ressolve other remaining issues.
