I am running Android 3.2 on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Just installed latest xbmc remote app. When I choose a Video file on the device I get the option to play with XBMC but if I select a YouTube video I do not get option to play in XBMC. I have tried the standard Android browser and Dolphin to no avail, I also verified that no defaults were in place to override option selection.

Works in v0.8.7-beta1 on my Gingerbread Galaxy 7``

Any suggestions?

Bumping an older thread but since it's on the same subject and since cancan101 was so gracious to fix the other YouTube bugs, I thought I'd toss another one out there (thought it's related to the hyphen)

I like using the actual YouTube app to send videos to XBMC. With ICS, it's a really great application. It's easier to use then doing a normal search. Anyway, the biggest problem is that a decent amount of videos won't send correctly. A perfect example (since my son loves it) is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWp6kkz-pnQ

When I share from the YouTube app, it asks me if I want to play "pWp6kkz" and drops off the "-pnQ"

Another example is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo_svGP-iO4 -- drops off the -iO4.

Anyway, great app, thank you for developing it. Smile

The pattern for youtube is broken in current remote, I'm pretty sure the Tom. build (check tv shows alphas post) have this corrected.

You can also try other apps like Yatse that have up to date patterns for this function (and much more Tongue)

Yatse 2 : Media Center Remote Control for Touch Screens
Yatse, the Xbmc Remote and Widgets for Android

I had the same problem and I decided to find out why it's not fixed on 0.8.8-beta1 which is on Google Play, even though cancan101 patched it 10 months ago. I downloaded the source of XBMC Remote today and compiled it and what do you know. The error is gone. Cool

I'm sharing it here for everyone:

You need to uninstall XBMC Remote before installing this version and the whole configuration will be lost. You also won't get update notifications for XBMC Remote anymore.
