> Youtube blocking "mobile playback" of videos
Do they still do that? I thought the issue was the ability to play required ads, which the mobile youtube applications now have.
- toxicFork 13y agoYep, they still do that. I run into a few of these videos every now and then. It tells me to "save to 'watch later' playlist to watch on your pc".
- scott_karana 13y agoThey still do for some content in Canada, at least, with messages along the lines of "UMG Music has not authorized this video for mobile distribution".
- andrewflnr 13y agoSpotify has different rules depending on what kind of mobile device you're using to listen. My phone is significantly more restricted than my tablet or PC.
- w1ntermute 13y agoIt's not something "they" do, it's an option that any video uploader has. Of course, you can sideload unauthorized YouTube viewers to get around this.
