On an HDR-FOX T2 with 1.03.12 youtube is now back as it was and mine has played the 3 ‘Most Popular’ OK.
But on HDR-FOX T2 1.02.20 Youtube remains stuck on loading any video.
My HDR-2000T is boxed up for a month. Is Youtube on HDR-2000T that now OK for anyone?
Hi I’ve a 2000T and that’s still not working. Same as before just loading. And loading.
Barry, presumably you are referring to an HDR T2 that is using 1.03.12? I tried to break my 1.03.12 but it is working with Youtube fine. I suspect I tried it on one of my connected 1.02.20 when it failed previously.
I find this very odd as I thought that the Humax Youtube outage applied to all Humax STBs.
Unfortunately, although I do have additional Humax devices in storage I do not have the time to try them out.
I have just tried an HDR-FOX T2 with 1.03.12, and YouTube is still broken for me.
Edit: Also still broken on HD-FOX T2 with 1.02.31.
Earlier this evening I had an HDR-2000T and an HD-FOX T2 that could not play any Youtube video but just kept on loading and loading. I tinkered with each of them but the tinkering had no effect on the everlasting loading.
Now they both can play after each was given a factory default.
(They are going back into their cardboard boxies now!)
Starting with the HD-FOX T2 it played iPlayer but not Youtube. Playing with the settings made no difference to Youtube. After a factory reset and tune to some channels so that it could set the date Youtube now works fine. I then set the parameters to how I usually have them and Youtube remained OK.
Moving on to the HDR-2000T it played iPlayer but not Youtube. Playing with the settings made no difference to Youtube. After a factory reset (but NO reformat) and tune to some channels so that it could set the date Youtube now works fine. I then set the parameters to how I would usually have them if it had been staying in use and Youtube remains OK.
Its a bit of a pain to reset to defaults as the tuning, schedule and favourites all have to be set up again, but it would be good if someone who uses Youtube regularly would have a go and reports the same and even better if it then sticks.
By the way my HDR-FOX T2(1.03.12) continues to play Youtube OK and hasn’t had a reset since 4 months ago when it got given an update to the latest version. My HDR-FOX T2 (1.02.20) continues not to play Youtube; it hasn’t had a reset for much longer although it did also have an update to the kernel 4 months ago (followed by reloading 1.02.20).
The first thing I did was try the reset to factory defaults. It made no difference at all.
Presumably you have a 2000T?
Very strange. As the 2000T has not had an update we must be on the same software. Unless the underlying kernel between our 2 2000Ts is different they should behave the same.
Yes it is.
Are you referring to a recent ‘factory defaults’ in the past few days or the one you tried in June?
I don’t remember carrying out a factory reset in June, but I did this a few days ago. No software updates were found afterwards.
Thanks Luke!
youtube wasn’t working on my HDRFoxT2 1.03.12, I don’t have an 1800T/2000T
running a factory reset without formatting got it back playing videos with compatible file format whereas before it was stuck on loading for all.
There must be an easier way to clear cookies, temporary data etc. although factory reset only took a few minutes, it’ll be interesting to see if anything else has changed
cheers

There must be an easier way to clear cookies …
There is. But it did not cure my devices’ Youtube issues. Unfortunately I suggested that easier way to the Susan Moon (the thread starter) before I had an opportunity to try it myself. It did not help Susan Moon either.
it feels like I’m hijacking a thread, my apologies; however…
I did remove the power to my HDRFoxT2 1.03.12, i.e hard cold reboot, before factory resetting, just to see if that cleared youtube and it didn’t. I then carried out the factory default reset, which got youtube working. It now loads in a second or two and displays either ‘cannot support this wideo due to invalid file format’ or it’ll play it, depending upon the file no doubt.
I presume Luke, during his testing – plugging unplugging etc, also power cycled his boxes. I can’t re-test mine as it’s still working.
It’d be useful if somebody with youtube problems could confirm they carried out a hard cold reboot, i.e. physically remove the box from the mains supply, before resetting again and testing as this could have an impact.
