[QUOTE="archive10, post: 1043400"] Don't know what the specific streaming speaker problem is, but I speculate that this is due to Google changing/refining their policy of allowed clients. What is most likely is that the wifi-speaker was using an HTML-version of Youtube to provide access, or a (somewhat) old native client. All non-PC browser implementations are now classisfied as embedded implementations, meaning that the client needs to authorise through a client library provided (free) from google. This needs to be integrated and embedded in the device - and approved by Google... The reasoning for this situation is that google wants to provide a predictable user experience (i.e. both in terms of audio/video-quality, but also in terms of data collection about media conumption, and provisioning of proper advertising to the YouTube-users). It's the same for set-top boxes, Blu-Ray players etc - they need to have integration authorised by Google (through Android programmes). Your Android phone may continue to work if it's using the native Android youTube app (which is likely). But the HTML-version may also have different success depending on browser and version of browser. ...it could also be login confusion as you say, but the behaviour rhymes with what I've learned from CPE device manufacturers in the past year.
