YouTube embeds

I've read in the release notes that "some" videos may not play in the "emulator and simulator". I imagine this is the same on a real target device as well? So does the iframe embed from YouTube not recognize the user agent and serve Flash? Is that the problem? Or is there a way to get YouTube iframe embeds to work?

Just wanted to add that I get the player UI, but it always says, "This video is current unavailable.", when I try to play.

Does that message shown for all the valid source URI's ? or only for few ? Please provide us with more details on what exactly you are trying to do , so that we can help here. Also please attach the emulator logs (C:\Users\[username]\tizen_vms\x86\[Emulator-Name]\logs\emulator.log)

Basically our app uses several different players. Our own, plus third-party players, one of which is YouTube. All of our YouTube content displays that message. I've yet to find one that works. I'd be happy to attach the emulator log. Two questions though: 1) What is the path for a Mac? 2) Does it require that I use the emulator? At the moment I'm using the Simulator and an actual target device for testing.

Ok. If you have a device, then please retrieve the device logs with SDB. Use "sdb dlog" command to get the device logs. You might need to set the device to the SDB mode by going to Settings > More system settings > Developer options > USB debugging. Is the issue with only few source URI's or always ? For sdb, refer to below location https://developer.tizen.org/help/topic/org.tizen.gettingstarted/html/dev_env/smart_development_bridge.htm OR sdb help on the command prompt (with device connected in USB debugging mode)

It appears to be all of them. I've tried nearly 100 different videos in different categories and streams and none have worked so far. Unfortunately, I don't see an option to attach the dlog file. It is over 27,000 lines in length and won't let me copy and paste either. Each time I try to preview/save the content just shows up blank. Any suggestions?

upload your log file on a external hoster :) Do you add youtube on the config.xml? to allow access?
Jasper Valero
Link to an attach are two completely opposite ideas. ;) Nevertheless you can find the log can be found here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27983583/tizen_dlog.txt As far ass the config.xml, yes I've tried with both YouTube added and a wildcard as well "*". Same thing each time, the player shows up but "This video is currently unavailable on all videos." These videos are coming from a substantial amount of YouTube channels so I know it is not the videos themselves. Not to mention they work on all other platforms, desktop, tablet, mobile. Just not Tizen.

Also, are you certain that YouTube recognizes the User Agent for Tizen? What is the user agent string for Tizen 2.0? Because the iframe from YouTube serves an HTML5 player, with a fallback to flash. Just wondering if there is an issue somewhere there. Does anyone have a working embedded YouTube video working in a Tizen web app?
Jasper Valero
I've uploaded my log and requested. Anyone still looking into this issue for us?

Have some latest info on this. Unfortunately youtube is broken currently and is not supported by Tizen web browser because of lack of V8 codec (issues). The browser team is looking into a solution to let Youtube to feed H.264 to Tizen browser. Please look for Tizen releases for more updates.

Thank you Raghavendara! I appreciate the follow up. From my tests I had arrived at the same conclusion, that it had to be a browser issue. However, it is good to hear confirmation. This will allow us to move along with our project by disabling the YouTube player in our app until it is supported.
