Re: PS3 Youtube App

1/2 the prob is Adobe Flash is F'd & they can't seem to fix it, Other 1/2 is the youtube app doesn't have an option to Clear Cache! I'm on wireless & when this happens I just unplug the router for a bit & works fine after that for a few day's!

This may not be a solution for everyone but always seems to work for me!

Re: PS3 Youtube App

I'm inclined to agree that it has something to do with networking. When the app first came out, I was using Shaw as my ISP and the PS3 had a wired connection to the network. The app worked beautifuly. The interface responded quickly, videos loaded and it never froze. 

 

Then I moved and my networking setup changed quite a bit. I have a different ISP (Telus), I'm using different networking hardware and the PS3 connects to the network wirelessly. The app hasn't worked since the move. It's glacically slow, videos don't load and it often freezes up entirely. 

 

Since the PS3 itself hasn't changed, I'm assuming it's something to do with the new network setup that's causing the slowdowns. I've tried a number of different things to get it to work, including using a wired connection, but nothing seems to help.


It would be great to figure this out and figure out a workaround. But still, someone at Sony or Google dropped the ball on this one. It's a YouTube client, its the kind of thing that should just work. The YouTube client on my Sony Blu-Ray player works great, can't we just have that one for the PS3?
