[android] Youtube / Proxy / Filtering /android

[Tesla]

Hi all

 

does anyone know what domains etc you have to whitelist in order to get youtube working over android, we have allowed a couple that allow it to work for iPads, but this has not worked for android, we are using the web rather the app as we know proxies dont work well with android apps.

 

EDIT: Everything loads on youtube except the video itself, it just continually loads.

 

Thanks

We are having similar problems - but we can't get it to run on Apple iPads either

What addresses have you whitelisted to allow them to run on Apple?

[Tesla]

c.youtube.com

m.youtube.com

youtube.com/videoplayback

[brewerd]

there are some videos that are hosted on googlevideo.com too. If you check the source code of the page you can usually identify which urls the video is loading from (or trying to) then add that URL to your whitelist and presto changeo it should work.

Any7 idea how to view page source code/inspect element on an android tablet

[brewerd]

yeah sure, should've mentioned that. just add "view-source:" to the start of the URL in chrome for android and it will show you the pages source code.

Any mileage in allowing youtu.be addresses too?

[Tesla]

i'll try viewing that source info page when i have some spare time... just added youtu.be....to no avail

There are some traffic monitor s for android. You have to view the log using wireshark.

[Tesla]

so no one knows a list of urls youtube uses for android? i have too much on atm to sit and try and work out what it's using

I can play youtube videos via my phone HTC One x using our staff proxy on the wifi but when I try it on my Samsung Tab 3 I get the same issue as @Tesla everything loads apart from the video...DUB TEH EFF?

[Tesla]

LOL, funny thing is it works on my own phone (an S4) , just not the acer tablet running jelly bean.... (unsure how long its worked on my phone, i've always been under the impression it never worked)

[Griff]

Had anymore luck with this? I have tried so many solutions non of them work.

[Griff]

@Tesla mate I just fixed this no joke...right I went into my wireless controller and the system time was off by about 4 hours so I updated the time and date restarted my wireless controller and its fixed the issue on my tablet....try it let me know. What wireless system are you running there?

[Tesla]

We Just have Wireless access points patched in to the main system, i dont think thats the issue as my phone works and the tablet doesnt, in the same location using the same wireless point

so no one knows a list of URLs YouTube uses for Android?

The domain below is pretty much the only URL accessed while watching videos in the YouTube app or YouTube in a browser.

 

[b]*.1e100.net[/b] ([color="#FF0000"]HTTPS[/color])

 

I used an app called Network Log to find this out.
