Do you mean Browser History?

I'm not sure what YouTube history is.

YouTube's files are subject to copyright and it is possible YouTube have code that does not allow the browser to cache their videos in the browser history, otherwise anyone could simply copy the videos from the History folder to their hard drive.

watching you tube on tv
Dec 10, 2011 9:48PM PST

Hi thanks for quick response to my query i will try to explain. When i go on you tube on my internet tv and i enter something in the search bar everything works ok however down the left side of the screen there is a number of options ie most viewed. top rated. rising videos. favorites and visited history among others. so if i tap something in the search bar ie tips on golfing i get a number of different videos to choose from and they play fine the problem occurs wheni go down the options on the left hand side to visited history click on this and the videos i have looked at previously all come up however when i clickk on any of these i get the message dissconnected from you tube server try later. itdoesnt matter how much later i try this and the same thing happens. is this any clearer?

I will have to pass. I assumed you meant normal computing and I have no knowledge of internet TV.

Sorry. Let's see what others can contribute.
