Hi,
My powerDVD 19 version unable to play youtube videos. But playing well incase of youtube live videos i.e. live news streaming or any live streaming video. But when i play regular Youtube videos it is giving me ''Cyberlink PowerDVD cannot play this video. Please watch it on browser".

I dont understand what seems to be the problem. How can it plays live videos but not regular youtube videos.
Is there any setting for this?. Or is it my system problem? (I don't think so because every 1080p video on my harddrive is playing well).

I have updated it to new patch. But still the problem persisits. Have you guys encountered this?. Any solution?

Hi,
This happens because YouTube updates its API key, usually for videos from Vevo, etc. that rely heavily on advertising. You'll have to wait for another update for version 19 to get the new API key.
