Hello, Im reporting an issue with "No-PSN Youtube app" version 3.01 for playstation 3. Yeh its not working at all, when I 'click' on it, the youtube load screen comes up and remains on the initial load screen endlessly (I left it there for 30 minutes no change, whereas before it would go straight in). The circular load thingy at the bottom continues to cycle endlessly. I have tried all 3 country variants, same result. Tried the original version, and surely enough that didn't work either. Ive tried every which way to Sunday and continue to get the same results unfortunately. (Oddly, when you install this version of the app, you have to reboot the console to see the app appear in your XMB menu.) Tried installing the old version again, version v 1.11 and it almost works but it forces you to download the 3.01 original PSN version and that again puts you in a bind. App updates are supposed to make an app better, and include improvements and bug fixes. This update actually just adds bugs. Dont understand why something that wasnt broken was made broken and if Im being honest Im a little disappointed about it. Just want to use youtube on my playstation again like I was before. I cant give you my consoles serial number right now but I can tell you that its the original 80GB i.e. 'fat' model with 2 USB ports at the front. While Im at it I can confirm that foxtel play and ABC iView don't get past the load screen either. And popcornflix loads but throws up error messages left right and centre, slow and buggy as hell. Does anyone actually test any of these apps before they are released? Lol. This is a great forum but it would be handy if the apps actually worked. Thank you.
I can confirm, without a doubt, that the Youtube 3.01 apps all work without issue. I have used them to make several tutorials and there is only one address to patch for NoPSN. It must be a setting or something with your firmware. I have personally tested on a 2501 Slim running Rebug 4.81.2 DEX.
To answer your question about the Foxtel and ABC iView app, I can confirm that these apps load normally. The ABC iView showed thumbnails but didnt load videos, and the Foxtel app is Region-Locked to Australia, so I couldnt test video loading.
Popcornflix works without issue as well, I have personally verified this, as I use it all the time.
Finally, to answer your last question...YES, yes I do indeed test these apps before releasing. I list any problems that I have generally, and if I forget to list one, then someone can point it out to me. I honestly do not use 80% of these apps and I patch them for FUN! I have poured hundreds of hours into testing these apps over and over and over and over again! So yeah, no disrespect, but if you want better results....PLEASE make your own patches and sit up for days on end disassembling, transferring, testing, packaging, etc.......you're welcome
EDIT: You do realize that I do not make the apps, I simply patch a few bytes here and there to get whatever result I am after, PSN bypass, Ad removal, etc. You wanna blame slow and buggy on someone....blame the app developer!!!
EDIT 2: Lastly, I do not get PAID to do any of this, as most of my fellow developers, we do it for fun, learning, and to show off a little bit sometimes. You wanna cut me a check, I will be more than happy to make an extra effort to fix any of these problems more swiftly for you!!!
