YouTube

I guess YouTube stopped working in the Raptor also.

YouTube is working ok on my Raptor, but we may not be running the same firmware.

Ditto what el bandido said. It's the Weather Forcast that isn't working for me on any firmware.

I tried the You Tube feature for the first time yesterday, I can navigate to You Tube web pages, but the videos won't play. Hmmnn..

Because you need Firmware 2.11.01 to fix Youtube, and yes the Weather functions is broken in this release.

One interesting new function that I noticed, when playing a recording you can now press epg and set programs to record while something is playing back.

Dear All,

Youtube has made changes to the public API. Vendors are working on a new SW to resolve the issues. I will update this thread ones i have more details.

[apsattv]

Youtube was fixed in release 2.11.01

The problem is not fully fixed yet. It is just a workaround.
The 2.11.01 it is not an official SW for Optibox.

To clarify, We have people using other Fortis receivers in this forum such as UltraPlus.

Some people are using different firmware on their Optibox. Why? Because there is no Optibox support for North America.

To date, Optibox has released one NTSC file for North America and that was back in March 2012.

Optibox furnished us with a sat file that was several years old, so we took time and built a North American sat file from scratch. Optibox never used it.

We have spent time documenting and reporting firmware bugs. Optibox ignored us.

Now we have found bugs in the .fdu sat file and the Diseqc 1.2 settings. Nothing has been done to correct these problems.

Optibox could have owned the North American market had they paid us a little bit of attention and fixed a few things. It is not too late, but time is running out.
New receivers from other vendors are due out in 2013. People will lose interest in Optibox if there is no support for their products! EB

That was what I was wondering. Can you run Octagon fw or Something else on Anaconda? If so which octagon FW would I use ie 1008, 1018, 1028? looking for streaming besides E2.
I used the 1028 E2 on the anaconda and it worked fine, but I don't think that is the right one. Thanks in advance....
