Hi!
I am getting error for most of the videos in youtube movies. Pls. refer to the screen shot.
Though some of the videos do play fine. The diffeence I have noticed is .. for videos that play correctly file informattin is fetched correctly while for other that are not played file information is not fetched..
All videos play fine in intenet explorer. I have tried with all transcoder options but none of them helps.

I added youtube movies into podcast from the file in the forum. It updates podcast fine and some movies play fine but many have this issue of error -2

Pls. let me know what I am doing wrong

Have you checked playback in IE ?
What is the exact link is not working? (for me work all checked)

P.S. Try to delete the IE cache files

Most of the links in movie section are not working for me... I tried lots of links in movies section
for eg. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgih1kOthL8
All links work fine in IE. tried clearing IE cache but still no luck.


Pls. let me know..

Thanks

Hi!
New version viewtopic.php?p=1625#p1625
Thanks for quick fix. I downloaded new file youtube.wdf and old file youtube_movies.wdf
Many of the files were fixed and were playing... though I did not try many but still found issues with 4~5 links

for eg.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwPqDPQXIyc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0y_kyiRvNo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a82uwPmj_34
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeBY9dHUd7E

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TojqoC_Rvg


I guess for some of these files issue could be they require age verification.
Is it possible to add youtube username pwd?

Another irritating issue I had was ... I was watching a movie from youtube... watched almost more than half and then suddenly it stopped... Played that movie again but how to forward it to the position where it stopped? Pressing fwd on TV remote does not do anything...

So could not watch second half of the movie...

Pls. let me know

Thanks
Naveen

Yes, but there is no ready-made scripts.

You have a stable, fast connection?
You can use scripts download a media resource, or pre-transcoding (Settings-Processing).

http://www.wildmediaserver.com/forum/vi ... &f=3#p3301, script "Pre transcoding (media-resource)".

But if the program can not get a link to a resource, it will not work. Probably depends on the country, I have no problem.

Thanks for the information about Pre transcoding.


When I click on above link i get the following page saying "This video is unavaialble with Safty Mode enabled"

At the bottom of the page there is option to switch off safety mode. Once I switch that off. I can play this video in browser.
I guess all above videos have similar issues .. either they are unavailable due to safety mode or they need age verification.

Thanks
