iPhone 4S...Facebook & YouTube

[FlameR]

When someone posts a youtube vid on facebook and you click the link, you can't watch it anymore.

Any reason why?? :S I could watch them a couple of weeks ago

The same video or a different video?

 

[FlameR]

Any youtube video...so yeah, that includes vids I could watch before

It loads up the youtube page, but you can't press play.

Mega Vague.

Do you have private browsing on?

Mine sometimes doesn't allow me to press play on YouTube videos until I switch it off, then it works perfectly afterwords.

 

[FlameR]

Nah not got private browsing on.

This is what's displayed when I click on the youtube link.

Won't let me press the play button like it used to...

Thats the full site, so theres the first issue.

Perhaps the youtube update has caused issues with facebook referrals.

Of all the apps I have on my phone, the Facebook app (which one would assume is one of the most popular apps in the world!) is the worst by far. Absolute dogs**t. Even the latest update hasn't sorted the picture related issues.

It's because they go through their own servers now. So they can push updates quicker/easier for them. But that means it's no longer tested by Apple as that code can change.

It's the most popular app and it's f**king awful.

Steve, http://www.youtube.com/html5. That might help.

Re the HTML 5 trial You'd have to do that within the Facebook app itself or the change wont apply.

You could also manually put M instead of WWW in that link.
