Appostrophic Reviews: YouTube will stop working in older devices

Technology is advancing rapidly, and it is impossible that the devices operate forever. Appostrophic reviews that new technology is making improvements in services, and some devices are no longer supported. Some time ago YouTube in its online version has passed HTML5 technology, with more secure and open standard.

Well, now changes that are made ​​will make YouTube stop working in older devices (that are back in 2012), and we will help to see if this affects you.

Appostrophic reviews that the problem is motivated by changes in the YouTube API, a system that makes the devices to communicate with YouTube. Google has implemented improvements, but some devices will not be able to function after these modifications. The trial began on April 20, and applies to:

• Sony and Panasonic TVs.
• IOS Devices that cannot upgrade to iOS 7 or higher.
• Old Apple TV.
• Google old TV .
• Some Blu-Ray.

So, How to continue using YouTube on older devices? 

Appostrophic reviews that in certain cases, we have options for using YouTube in some of these devices. Google itself offers a number of solutions, but surely arise other unofficial equally valid for certain popular platforms. This is what they recommend from YouTube:

Ø  IPhone, iPad and iPod Touch: the simplest solution is to upgrade to iOS 7 and continue using the YouTube app. If your device does not support it, you visit the mobile site m.youtube.com from your browser.

Ø  Apple TV: if you have a third-generation Apple TV you must go to settings and download the update software. If your model is older, you cannot see YouTube.

Ø  Google TV: if you own a Google TV device (either a television or external player), versions 3 and 4 are supported. You have to go to Google Play to update the YouTube app, without major difficulties. Other versions of Google TV cannot update the app.

Ø  Others: if you have a smart TV or a console with a web browser that supports Adobe Flash or HTML5, you may be able to continue watching videos from YouTube website normal.

So if you have found YouTube affected in your older devices, the truth is that the devices will run out the video service that are quite old and may not very popular. So, we don’t think that many of the users will get affected. It’s frustrating that such a large company like Google leaves behind some users, but the advance of technology has become unstoppable.
