Samsung blu-ray players and youtube

by disrember May 21, 2010 9:21PM PDT

Hi,

I have a samsung bd-p1620 that has youtube access.

I cant access any music videos on the youtube, it comes back with "Unable to receive the URL information for the movie site". All other videos play ok, just not music. Looks like a licensing issue to me, as only official music videos are the problem, fan made seems ok.

Its very annoying as I wanted to use the youtube to play music through the tv.

Can anyone else get the same problem or have any reasons why?

Iain

Samsung blu-ray players and youtube
by Samsung_HD_Tech Samsung staff May 24, 2010 6:10AM PDT

disrember,

The best I can do is offer to try a video that doesn't work for you to see if I can replicate the problem. If you want to post one by exact name, I'll see if I can pull it up on one of my players here, although it will be the BD-P1600 or BD-P3600.

Ultimately, the content that is allowed is determined by YouTube, and some content may be limited. That broadcast would be something they enacted on the widget.

What country is the player in?

It seems that samsung BR is getting obsolete very fast because there is not update program for 2 years old BR.

HD-Tech told above that it's most likely a Youtube imposed restriction, not a Samsung one. If that's the case indeed, you should be disappointed in Youtube, not in Samsung.

Did you already try another BR player or Smart-TV, either the latest Samsung one or one made by a different company (say LG, Sony, Panasonic, Philips) to see if this particular video can be played on that device. Only then your complaint about this BR becoming obsolete too soon would be justified.
