Check the settings on your receiver to see if it allows Web Videos.
Youtube not working!
Hello, ever since the HDGUI update one of my HR24-500's is not getting the youtube option on the search function. Neither am I getting the suggestions of what I might like to watch. I've tried all the usual stuff like resetting the DVR and unplugging the sat cable (nothing). Weird one of my HR24-500's gets it and the other doesn't. Before the HDGUI I got it on both DVR's.
Any other ideas?
Thanks

Where would I find that? I don't ever remember seeing that setting, unless it's in parental controls which I have never changed or messed with.MysteryMan said:Check the settings on your receiver to see if it allows Web Videos.
Select Menu, scroll down to Settings & Help, select Parental Controls. You will see Web Videos on it's menu.
I don't have that option listed...MysteryMan said:Select Menu, scroll down to Settings & Help, select Parental Controls. You will see Web Videos on it's menu.
Both of my HR24-500 DVR's have the 0x57b software.
All I have under parental controls are:
Lock Now
Rating Limits
Adult Channels
Channel Blocks
Spending Limits
Viewing Hours
Done
So the parental control is not showing Web Videos
also, with nothing showing for My Directv when you first hit menu.
I know it is connected to the internet b/c I ran all the tests and everything passed, also I'm able to download all On Demand stuff.
My other HR24-500 shows:
Lock Now
Ratings Limits
Adult Channels
Channel Blocks
Web Videos
Spending Limits
Viewing Hours
Done
and is showing My Directv being filled with suggestions.
Have you tried refreshing the receiver via the D* website?
Do a double restart within thirty minutes to clear the guide cache.
Yes, I've tried re-authorizing the receiver several times to no effect via Directv.comJustin23 said:Have you tried refreshing the receiver via the D* website?
How long have you been connected to the internet? Have you done a red button reset?
Since it first was offered. Prefer menu reset, only ever used RBR when DVR freezes and doesn't respond to remote.allenn said:How long have you been connected to the internet? Have you done a red button reset?
When you say there is no Youtube option using search, with the HDGUI Youtube has been moved out of the regular search screen, when pressing Menu - Extras, do you see a "youtube" icon?
I am following this thread carefully. I also do not have Youtube available. I've done all the checks above all to no effect.
I get youtube option in my searches just fine..... but i dont see a you tube icon in the "extras" section.
I think you have a great idea for a future enhancement, but in HDUI 0x57b, YouTube is in SMART Search.SDizzle said:When you say there is no Youtube option using search, with the HDGUI Youtube has been moved out of the regular search screen, when pressing Menu - Extras, do you see a "youtube" icon?
Weird, with my 0x57b update on the HR24-500 that gets youtube, I still only have ever had it in the smart search section. Never in the Extras section. Extras for me only show: Messages, Active, Game Lounge, Caller ID and Showroom.SDizzle said:When you say there is no Youtube option using search, with the HDGUI Youtube has been moved out of the regular search screen, when pressing Menu - Extras, do you see a "youtube" icon?
I think this whole thing is somehow related to how "Web Videos" isn't showing up in my Parental Controls list of options. Directv can't figure this out either, they keep telling me the Youtube App didn't get downloaded with 0x57b.
I wish Apps like Youtube, Pandora and eBay existed in the Apps feature. Nothing in there now is really useful or functional.
ASHBURN: Are you getting "Web Videos" under the Parental Controls section of the menu?
No, it's neither in Extras nor in the Parental Controls. It doesn't come up in smart search either.
I give up!

It doesn't show up at the bottom of the Smart Search results list for you? If you enter "AAAA", for example, you should end up with only two items in the results: 1) "AAAA" Keyword and 2) "AAAA" YouTubeashburn said:No, it's neither in Extras nor in the Parental Controls.

That's what I see anyway.
HR22-100...Had the same problem.(no youtube). Pressed reset button...Now I have youtube again.
It's not there in the smart search. All I see is keyword. I tried (reluctantly) a red button reset and nothing changed.
YouTube should show-up in Smart Search in the next day or so if your network is working. Are the D* Apps working?ashburn said:It's not there in the smart search. All I see is keyword. I tried (reluctantly) a red button reset and nothing changed.
