Would you say that Youtube will be back in next update?

[Steve.Young]

Nope.

So when?

Good news !
Customizable buffer size ?

[werner]

not Customizable but just try and see, anyway it is the first step so it need many more improvements but it is now already fast and buffering seems to work as far as i can say, but i had also no issues before only issue i had that to start a stream needs very long and now it is faster

Great news Werner - keep up the good work.

Sorry to bring this back up, but...

I have to say, if that's the only way as of right now to get Netflix on the PCH then so be it. Considering all the other workarounds that are necessary to get the C200 working properly, that's easy. Besides, I already have a C200, how would an HTPC help me now? Wife would kick my ass if I told her I "need" a HTPC after "needing" a C200!!

So I have to have a PC running to use PlayOn - that's not quite a dealbreaker for me as my PC is on most of the time anyway... If I were using MyiHome to access my networked content, the PC would have to be running also.

I think at least having the option would be good enough - if I don't want to have a PC running to use it (or don't have a Windows PC), then my only other option would be to wait for native Netflix/PlayOn support.... But I don't think you can just dismiss the fact that some type of PlayOn support seems to be popular just because it may "defeat the purpose" for some people - it may for some, but not for me and others that are willing to accept that workarounds are necessary at this point in firmware development. Just my 2 cents....

BTW, have had the C200 for about a week now and it's AWESOME! Just a few more technical improvements and it will be a mainstay in my entertainment system... Thanks for all the great information here on the forums!!!

Does this mean that it will continue to work if I don't upgrade my firmware?

I would imagine that the link would still be there in webservices, but Google shut down the APIs so it won't go anywhere....

What does that mean for the YoutubeLite entry in MSP?

Quote:use youtube light but i think google will shutdown there api then also this will stop working Sad

Will YoutubeLite still be available in MSP then?
And as for the API, thank god im not using their api to stream the videos, only for searching.. which can be changed if they shut down the api.

Oh, before i forget, did i ask if YoutubeLite will still be in the MSP section after the removal of the official Youtube feature?
If i did, better safe than sorry right?

Ours has already been done. That quote was for the Xtreamer getting their Youtube shut down
