How to show Youtube video/channel etc.
Posted: Thu Apr 14, 2022 12:34 am
Hi
I'm new to UMS and have some questions, but first some info:
I have the latest UMS version on windows 7 and a relatively new Philips TV connected via router and wifi. When I start UMS it finds the TV (see attached "UMS status.png") and among other things the TV shows the folder I created (C:\Dokument\UMS) which contains a couple of video files, an .avi and a .mp4. I can play them and it works fine with video and audio.
Q1: In general, how do I play a youtube video, e.g. "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeTdfmXvIS0" or a youtube channel, e.g. "https://www.youtube.com/c/ClarkBryan/videos", both of them added to web contents (see attached "UMS shared contents.png")? They are not visible in the TV. Is it even possible?
I can see that the preloaded url:s points to XML-files. Is that necessary to view web contents?
Q2: Another source I added to shared contents is the url "https://urplay.se/" which contains TV programs you can select among. Can I use UMS to view these on the TV?
Q3: The pre-installed web sources works for a minute or two and then stops. Why? Maybe the solution is in the attached log "ums_dbg_2022-04-13-13-47.zip".
Best regards
