timbo343 Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 We are finding some videos on youtube are restricted and we are having an issue unblocking them. A few years ago, we could add them to our channel's playlist and this would allow the videos - now it seems when we create a play list and add an unrestricted video the playlist shows. As soon as we add a restricted video, the playlist disappears. Adding the video to our auth by pass rule or our youtube allowed videos doesn't work. Have youtube (google) changed the way this is now working for education users that are pushing to youtube via the DNS rule? Does anyone know the work around for this?

timbo343 Posted October 8, 2018 Author Posted October 8, 2018 This is the play list that we are having an issue with Video 1 works: Video 2 works (kinda): Video 3 fails to work: It's interesting how videos 1 and 2 work individually however only video 1 works in the playlist. Could someone try the links as a student please. They work fine as an administrator. Like the above post says, it's got to be to do with restricted mode however i'm struggling to find where's it's configured in the smoothwall.

timbo343 Posted October 9, 2018 Author Posted October 9, 2018 thanks, looks like i had a bit of a senior moment. I've had to allow the entire playlist in Auth Bypass > URL Patterns to get the playlist to show and allow to the students.
