1162849 - Some YouTube videos not working in Popcorn Maker

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Webmaker Graveyard :: Popcorn Maker, defect)

Description

[damg70]

Attachment: youtube issue PCM.jpeg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/42.0.2311.135 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Added YouTube video link as per usual.


Actual results:

Video does not show poster frame, but instead renders an error relating to "devicesupport" from youtube. sometimes this error occurs to videos that have played normally on previous instances. This is a different playback delay behavior from the normal situation where YT is trying to serve ads. I have attached a screenshot of the issue (provided by a student).


Expected results:

video should play normally when added to timeline.

-- i suspect something between PCM's network request and youtube's means of identifying the client is causing problems.

Hey! Thanks for the issue.

Can you let us know what the actual link to the video you were trying to add was?

Cheers

@mjschranz I just did a youtube search in popcorn maker and got the error. I think all youtube searches are going to have this problem.
