Samsung forum: SAMSUNG SMART TV - Youtube not playing many Videos

Add the full model number and version of the YouTube app.

I see you're read prior replies. Besides here, be sure to call it in. They need your calls to know it's something to ask to be fixed.

Hi Nasrsoft,

This sounds like the YouTube monetization thing again: http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2453875

Bob's rather familiar with this.

Yes, I know a bit about that issue. That and how apps make their way to the devices.
Just wish I had some magic spell to make it all work.

"It is possible to enable those videos or movies you are talking about.
Enabling those videos again would require Samsung to step in and fix an issue in their platform because with recent app update we can't show ads on 2012 Samsung TVs anymore"

Can we expect samsung to take some pain in making their customers happy??

So Google won't fix this because they want to play ads?

Wait a moment, it's their web site so what stopped them from playing the ad before the video?

Google? -1.
Bob

That Google can't tweak their app to play the ad, then play your choice?

If you believe this, I have some bridges for sale.

@Bob ... I dont know if samsung pays you to defend them in this forum, But let me tell you, I'm neither against Samsung nor Google.

What really matters an ordinary customer like me is the end result... how the apps are functioning, am I happy with the product I bought, etc... I don't care if Samsung asks its engineers to correct the platform OR puts pressure on google to correct youtube. I'm bothered about using YOUTUBE which is actually one of the MARKETING points for a smart TV from samsung. It says you can play YOUTUBE, netflix, blah blah blah. Imagine, the very heart of advertising of this so called smart TV is faulty. (delete youtube from your apps and look at the way the sales go DOWN!!! ... but that is much butter and an honest approach rather than giving a faulty app or an incompatible platform for youtube)

And I'm asking SAMSUNG because It is SAMSUNG that I DIRECTLY paid big bucks and bought this TV. I paid youtube nothing (and I don't care what samsung pays google). And this is the very reason I said in my first post.... it's really easy to pass the blame. And I don't say its totally samsung's fault, but it is SAMSUNG that is answerable to me.

Just get it fixed guys...

Nod. My thought on this is from a programmer's perspective. I've written apps for far too long to accept Google's reply.

I hear you about who you paid and have been watching the show about how the TV is a platform similar to say a laptop running Windows. If you had this issue on a laptop and Microsoft's Internet Explorer didn't work with a web site, you would not chase Dell down. Here we have a "platform" and the author is not the maker of the platform so it's going to be interesting how this all plays out.
Bob

You seriously asking this question about laptop and dell??? lol
1. I dont buy laptop from dell cuz it comes with IE (reason is not even windows) .... but i buy cuz it has latest processor... RAM... etc. In short hardware. And no computer company advertises that the laptop can run certain browser/app/OS. Its not their selling point. Even if they sell it with Linux, people will buy it if it has good hardware. BUT... if they say they have the latest processor and customers discover that it is faulty.... then? Can we blame dell? I think YES we can.
Correct your analogy plz (with all due respect...)

Pick some "platform" and the car is closer to this because while Ford uses Microsoft for the Smart Car features, you take it back to Ford for the issue.

But there's the rub, Microsoft will not correct the annoying issue of what you are complaining about so Ford is left with a very upset customer.

How about that analogy?
Bob

@Bob : Wow man... even samsung wouldn't defend itself as much as you are defending samsung... i guess...lol

This discussion is going no where...

@SAMSUNG (NOT BOB) : All I want is get the bugs in Samsung's Platform fixed so That I can run all youtube videos (SAMSUNG advertised that I can use their TV to use Youtube).
OR install an ADVANCED BROWSER (are you going to pass the blame to Linux now? :P) which can play flash content (latest flash) and long length videos without interruption.

I agreed with you and for that you wrote that reply. That OK as I understand how frustrating this area is.

My only hope is you'll call it in and if you feel it's a maker's failure to deliver on some feature that was promised, take it back.

Hi Nasrsoft,

I've noted your complaints, and while I don't believe there's anything Samsung can do to resolve them with your current product, I'll definitely pass them along to the appropriate channels.

Thanks... I really appreciate it!!!
Even a good advanced browser will solve most of the issues I believe.

Thanks again for considering my requests.
