YouTube under Navi-X

[djp]

Is YouTube flaky when used under Navi-X? The reason I ask is because when I initially installed Navi-X (a couple of days ago!), Youtube worked fine. Today it has stopped playing back YouTube links. I've since installed the standalone YouTube plugin and that works fine.

I'm using XBMC4Xbox 3.2 and installed Navi-X via XAI.

Unable to test at the moment but if the plugin is working it seems odd that the Navi-X processor would stop working. Have you tried playing with mplayer rather than DVDPlayer? If the links are HD then there's a good chance they won't work as the Navi-X interface uses a lot more RAM than a plugin does.

Thanks for the response whufclee.

This may well be the issue, thanks. I do remember some YouTube links working initially so maybe they were SD. Having the YouTube plugin installed alongside Navi-X is a good way to cover all bases anyway!

Navi-X tends to work well in the daytime for me. In the later evening it either can't display remote content or completely hangs the Xbox trying. I presume this is network overload related? I'm based in the UK by the way.

Yeah it's most likely either the hosts are being overloaded with demand or your isp is throttling your connection - run a speedtest on your PC in the daytime and the evening and see what the results are like. I'm with Sky and have to say where I live they are great but I know of friends that are with other suppliers and this happens fairly frequently (especially for my parents who use Virgin, they are a nightmare and I don't understand why as Virgin use optical cables!???). I very rarely have problems with Fastpasstv in Navi-X so would recommend that for movies/tv shows as they all seem to be in SD.
