This isn't exclusive to the Wii U browser. Even on my PC, YouTube videos have been fucking up all day and refusing to play beyond the ad most of the time.
There's two of you guys?
The Wii U has it's flaws but it's by far the best way to watch YouTube on your TV. It will continue to be after the new HD twins release.
Try harder.
I didn't mean just YouTube and Wii U is not the best way to watch YouTube on my TV. Apple TV is far better,
Can't deny the truth

How do you input text? Remote? :/I didn't mean just YouTube and Wii U is not the best way to watch YouTube on my TV. Apple TV is far better,

I don't know, Netflix works pretty good and off-screen playing is a nice option. It's better than on my PS3 or 360. The browser is really great too. YB]Youtube on it is even easier than with iPhone+Apple TV as you can browse other content at the same time.[/B]
No we cant deny the truth that you have no clue of what you speak of.
This is hilarious if you think Wii U's media app are any good, lol
Is an Apple TV usable for these things if you don't also have an iPhone or iPad? Can you use it with an Android device?iPhone, sometimes iPad
So exactly like a iPhone and Apple TV can...
The Wii U youtube app is terrible, we can all agree there, but it sounds like you haven't used the brower version of Youtube on the Wii U. It's the best version of Youtube out there. Better than any console or tablet, including Apple Tv. It's even better than the standard Pc version, though that motsly because my computer is terrible.This is hilarious if you think Wii U's media app are any good, lol
Try cleaning the cache, it's hidden somewhere in the browser settings.
Don't know if you've tries this, but try closing any tabs you have from a previous session. Do it as soon as you open the browser, though. That worked for me.
that fixed it for me.
That is what YouTube is doing: growing up.Such a stupid change. Youtube needs to grow up already.

Sounds like a Wii U problem to me.
Google's deployment process appears to need better safety measures to not push in changes that break stuff. Happens all too often with their Chrome browser as well.That is what YouTube is doing: growing up.
Who cares if a browser used by maybe less than a few hundred a day breaks if the new update will enhance the experience for millions out there?
Is this YouTube's fault or Nintendo's? You decide.
Jokes aside, it seems to work for others who cleared their cache. Go figure.
Ok? How about posting something constructive instead of this useless shit?
I'm not trying to be an asshole dude. The thread title implies that YouTube is doing it but from the comments it sounds like a Wii U problem. Take it easy chief.
Hmm you must be reading different comments then. Most people claim they have problems on PC too.
You got me. I only read the first several posts and not then entire thread. Apologies. I seriously wasn't trying to sound like an asshole though. I haven't been having troubles all day on my PC though.
So you are talking about two devices combined now. And you are talking apps. Honest question: Have you ever used a Wii U?

Like a Wii U tablet and a Wii U Console?

Yes, it comes with its own remote.
I'm no Wii U hater but come on, Youtube running on your laptop in one tab and sending that shit to your PS3 and then just browsing the full fledged web on another tab is better than having to lug out the Wii U Gamepad and dealing with mobile sites
Dude just stop. This is getting embarrassing.
You need an iphone or ipad for your preferred way to watch youtube
Without one of those two you have to use a remote to input text.
You can't be serious.
You don't have to buy those separately. And you conveniently ignore the latter part of his question.
I'm not talking about other people here, i'm talking about myself. And for me, someone who has their iPad in their living room, same room as the TV, and my iPhone on me at all times, its more convenient and better for me to browse YouTube with a iPhone or iPad and a Apple TV.
Jesus whats wrong with you guys.
Worng guy said:oops who was i posting to again
Have you even used a WiiU to watch youtube videos?
You can navigate the site via the touch screen and when you select a video it immediately opens full screen on your television and begins playing, while it is playing you can navigate through other videos on the tablet. This is amazing for watching youtube videos with friends around (which is what I do quite a bit!). You can log in and type comments/make searches very easily with the touch keyboard.
The entire experience is fluid and functional and better than every other 'smart tv' option out there I've tried which includes
- Some sort of Smart TV androidish thing Samsung included with their new sets.
- Android controller App, boy this thing did not keep up with Youtube changes at all!
- Apple's AirPlay thing which doesn't function as well because the youtube app craps out on you for some reason (haven't tried any any sort of update since launch (australia))
I would go so far as to say that the WiiU is worth purchasing for Youtube viewing alone. Why?
Samsung Smart TV - $900 AU
Android Set top box - $99 AU (plus an android device, mines a Samsung Galaxy S2 $200)
AppleTV + iPad - $9999999999 (you get the picture)
I made this thread less than a week ago and only got 13 replies... screw you all!
I hope they fix it because viewing youtube videos on Wii U is awesome.

Guys! This isn't a popularity contest!Haha, guess I'm just more popular. =P
Yes, you can beam any youtube videos from an iphone to the PS3 without touching the controller.
Must be a youtube problem specific to some people, just watched a long video from the Browser in the Wii U.
