Playlists for Youtube video ?
Posted: Sat Mar 19, 2011 7:49 pm
Twonky has the mediafusion features for Youtube videos
But every now and then I like to be able to add things to a playlist
What I currently do is use a .WPL playlist file
For ex:
The following has two entries to a video on youtube
to show you how to add to the playlist
When viewing this from the web gui with webbrowse
the files are playable/downloadable to the mp4 format
It appears that something is going on to do some of the conversion
when linked fromt he broweser
But when trying to view the media from the PS3
The links show, but will not play or stream
My guess is, we might be able to use the MT: in the device profile
to set a mime type
But since the link is not a file directly
Im not sure of what I would use, SWF,FLV, or other
Does anyone have any thoughts on how to enable the ps3 to play them?
Though, the ones from mediafusion are fine
