YouTube Pulls API Access from Popcorn Hour
Anyone that used to use Popcorn Hour and other set-top boxes to watch YouTube on their TV are in for surprise. YouTube isn't too thrilled with companies that circumvent the rules and continue to violate its Terms of Service agreement. Here is a statement from Google:

Quote:
Since July of 2008, YouTube's Terms of Service has restricted implementations for televisions based on our APIs. YouTube has been in active discussions with various developers on how best to implement YouTube on set top boxes and TVs. There are several companies, however, that have deployed solutions, like video scraping technology, to circumvent the rules and violate YouTube's Terms of Service. Companies that have negotiated agreements to use our APIs, like TiVo, Sony, Panasonic and PS3 are not impacted.

Go outside and exercise instead of posting babble about youtube as TV, something no one cares, not even you. Oh wait, ok Bye.

Maybe this will force PH/sybas to work on their shtty front end.

I love my ph because it just plays whatever I tell it to, and that's the way it should be.

The interface and not being able to customize it sucks. They would have a cult like following if they would make a dev kit.

Ha. Youtube is mad because someone else is utilizing their content in a way they don't approve of?

That's rich.

I never really got into HTPC/media devices. I just plug in a laptop/desktop to a TV/projector/large monitor and play whatever video I want.
