you tube client
Is anyone having troubles with the you tube client? When I open it up and try to play a clip, it says the clip cannot be played at this time.
...
I've noticed that happening periodically, but it'll usually play once I try again. Thing is, you can just visit YouTube in the browser and play videos that way, although they do tend to be of lower quality.
...
I'm not sure if this was by design, but I'm pretty sure that I've figured this issue out. I've noticed that I can't view videos in the YouTube app while I'm using Verizon Wireless' data network. Thing is, it works fine when you're using Wi-Fi.
Why?
Well, the videos that you watch within the app are of much higher quality, so I assume that this "error" was done intentially in order to preserve the integrity of the network. Thing is, I wish that they just threw a "Please connect to a Wi-Fi network to view this video." message out there, instead.
