Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Macrotube, select YouTube or YouTube HD
2. Search for a VEVO music video (e.g. try "weird al yankovic white and nerdy") 
and attempt to play
3. You are greeted with a blue and white screen saying this video cannot be 
played for one of the following reasons...

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I was hoping to play a Vevo music videos and other restricted or syndicated 
youtube content.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows 7 Premium x64
Macrotube 64.0.8.2.0 and 8/2012 helper installer "MacroTubeProvider helper x64"

Please provide any additional information below.
Other youtube videos play, just not syndicated videos from VEVO and others.

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately the last change by youtube has made 
syndicated videos - Vevo for example, unplayable and a change is needed to the 
client helper application too as the change has broken the alternate method of 
retrieving videos in the client. As the beta is going to end soon, there won't 
be any updates to it. 

The next release will be the licensed version by which time hopefully we can 
work out a way round the syndication and getting the rest of the videos 
playable.
