Comment on Show HN: YouTube Player App in the Browser

Comments

doesn't work for me: mobile firefox on android. just gives me an error.

I have information that Youtube is redirecting from "www.youtube.com" to "m.youtube.com" when it detects a mobile user agent. The page data that is returned appears to be incompatible with the app's parsing code.

Will figure this out.

I've updated the app to remove the user agent string so that the link will not redirect to "m.youtube.com". I hope that's all that's needed to fix this.

I have no idea what the potential compatibility issues might be with mobile. This has only been tested on PC. Any way to provide debugging info?
