I have problem with the wiiu's browser

so i've been using the wiiu's browser and it's great and fast i check forums with it, use it for looking up news, and I USED to watch youtube on it however as of recently any video i click on it won't work for me and i dont know why but any video linked to youtube works fine also other website it works fine just not utube is anyone else getting this problem on their wiiu?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54XwUi7Hc0k if this is your normal URL

Change it to

https://www.youtube.com/embed/54XwUi7Hc0k

and the video will work on the Wii U browser.

54XwUi7Hc0k this is the most important part, if that isn't correct when you use the embed function then the video won't work.

Easy way to do it and make sure its correct is to click on "SHARE" then click on "EMBED"

You'll then see

Code:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/54XwUi7Hc0k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

the part you need for the embed is inside this with the perfect URL.

Idk why but I have this feeling Google did this on purpose to have more people download that abysmal YouTube App (which imo isn't too bad but still pretty bad).

i also figured out if you you put _popup right next to watch then it will work

but thanks dude


@soxas that app is horrible and i think google knows it

It should be working just fine now so you shouldn't have to put anything into the URL anymore. Just click and play ^_^
