Useless YouTube app HDR-1000S
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. |

Its a problem at YouTubes end, which they're apparently investigating according to Freesat.

Yep packed up altogether on mine too now. The constant loading icon was bad enough but now it's just a black screen with the loading message displayed.

There's now an on screen message that appears when you open the app warning of a problem with youtube that may cause disruption and they're working to ressolve the issue.

YouTube, FreeSat, Humax or all three aren't exactly busting a gut to get the app working again.

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.

Does that standby button not work? It is usually still active and avoids possible disk errors a power cycle can bring when writing to disk, which it is normally doing when recording or watching a channel..

Did you wait for the recording to finish first, before pulling the plug?

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.

I have been looking for the special U Tube app to control it on freesat.
A search in my iPhone App Store yields nothing. What is it called, please. David |

I notice despite the YouTube may not work warning on the 1000s videos are now playing again. However, absolutely no improvement noted with the constant loading icon. I can't help but come to the conclusion Freesat/Humax have given up on offering even a modicum of service to their customers.

They really are taking their time to fix this app! It was great in that brief period when it worked, when it works like the PS3 app I'll be happy!

It is back and working again. However, the constant loading icon centre screen is still there. This really is poor CS.
