[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 862165, member: 199791"] Well that's a bummer, you can't have a Youtube app on the Roku (or NowTV Box, just to stay on topic), seems google won't write one suitable for use on the Roku, yet other platforms (such as Smart TVs, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360), they seem to have no issue with having an app written for them, but not the Roku & derivative-of platforms.... :-ohmy I have read about using a few different ways to get youtube playing on there, but not actually running directly on the roku itself, one is to run the roku in dev. mode and installing VideoBuzz, the next is to use Plex (as already mentioned here it's great for getting round stuff that's "missing" or just not there), and the other is to use Twonky, which like Plex you install on another computer (be it a desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone), then you can use Youtube, still sucks though that you have to do all that to view youtube on something like the Roku...:rolleyes: Still, at least for the warp plasma telly, I can hook up my PS3 or my Samsung Bluray player and play youtube stuff through those... ^_^ (not that the official youtube apps are any good cos they lock the video feed into 240p or 360p, which looks terrible on a 1080p screen!!! :rolleyes: ) [/QUOTE]
