Error on YouTube app #198

Closed matita closed 8 years ago

matita commented 9 years ago

On a fresh installation, when I access the YouTube app I can only see a white page with an arrow to go back to the home page. The console logs error: Error searching Youtube By inspecting the code it seems like the app expects the OAuth token to be initialized.

Possible solutions/to do could be:

prompt the user to log in with YouTube, either by providing a Register OAuth button or redirecting to the Settings page with a link to /settings/#oauthContainer
give user feedback on failed ajax calls

Possible solution could also be showing some generic videos and warning the user he/she is not logged in

There should be a prompt automatically but this might tie in with issue #199

Are you using the new V3 YouTube API @jansmolders86 ? Google decided to drop support for V2 and lower so you might need to upgrade the code.

No I'm not Lucien, thanks for the tip! I'll check it out. How's life btw? :) feel free to write me an email or ping me on Hangouts to chat!

The Youtube app needs to be refactored so it only depends on the Youtube api and does not use any user specific details requiring Oauth v2.
