Apple tv, Youtube and CBS full episodes.
So Youtube recently announced that it has partnered with CBS to start showing full episodes of a few shows as a trial, to see if there is a market.
It's sort of the same situation as Hulu offers; You have two or three ticks in the show where it makes you watch a commercial and you can not fast forward through them. As someone who has Hulu access high on his wish list for Apple Tv. (I purchase plenty of shows through iTunes too. I just wish there was an alternative for times where I just want a show in the background and for that 1.99 just isn't worth it but an old episode of the A-Team with 3 or 4 commercials is. Like many others, if I had the option for both purchased shows with zero commercials and free shows with mandatory commercials, I would cancel my cable subscription.)
Anyway, I wanted to see if anyone has had any luck with being able to access these "Full Episodes" from the Youtube app on their Apple Tv's or if they've heard any information regarding this working in the future.
Regards

I had the same idea. I've already canceled my cable (as low as I can anyway.) I've been watching via my macbook for months now and it's great. I had a very busy September and missed the opening weeks of every show. But with my MacBook I was able to convert the DVI to HDMI and display all the sites on my 61" TV. IMDB has made my job of finding shows much easier in finding episodes and watching them in proper order.
My complaint was that even though I was watching Hulu in full screen and it was awesome with minimal commercial interruption, I had to keep getting up to load the next episode. But maybe it's good to stretch your legs once an hour. If AppleTV would become a portal or delivery mechanism for Hulu and Joost like it is for YouTube, it would make those sites much more viable. Additionally, they might be able to integrate with iTunes whereas if you just saw a hilarious episode of Family Guy and you just had to own it, you could click a button and buy it from iTunes.
Shows I've caught up on using my MacBook:
The Unit (from IMDB, CBS.com)
Heroes (from IMDB, Hulu)
Bones (from Hulu)
House (from Hulu and "not Hulu" for last season I missed)
Dexter (not CBS.com)
Weeds (not CBS.com)
The Office (from Hulu)
Family Guy (from Hulu)
Daily Show (from Hulu)
Colbert Report (from Hulu)
and now I'll get to watch "My Own Worst Enemy" which looks awesome.
I buy LOST on iTunes cause of my obsession with it, but I know you can watch any ABC shows on ABC.com.

Apple TV and full episodes of Smithsonian are not playing
Is anyone else having problems viewing full episodes for the Smithsonian channel?
It cannot and will not mirror a PC/Macs primary display output.
A Mac Mini while more expensive is still relatively small form factor and perhaps could be connected permanently to your setup with a wirless keyboard and mouse?

Apple Tv does not work with youtube and movies on iphone or ipad
I am on my 2nd generation apple TV. Always worked with Youtube, my iphones and ipads and Netflix.
I think it started about a month ago. I can only use Netflix.
If I try YouTube and select a video (even if small) it just keep spinning and never starts.
The same thing happens with my video from iphone 5S, 5, and ipad 2.
Than I went to my sons house with a Apple TV 3rd generation and different wifi,
same thing happens, I can not show a video from my iPhone 5S.
What is going on, did Apple TV change something?
Is this a update that went wrong?
(I have auto update and also checked manually to make sure have latest apple TV FW)
(All iphone and ipads are latest FW).Hi pcorsaro,
You may need to restore your Apple TV and see if the issue is resolved after that process:

I have a Apple Mac desktop and recently can no longer access Youtube, videos, movies, etc because I get a message reading "Blocked Plug-in". There's no error message but it does say to upload Abode Flash Player and the problem will be solved. I do this but it doesn't fix the problem. What am I doing wrong?
if you already downloaded the adobe flash player onto your mac and still getting that message that means you need to finish the installation of the flash player
you do this by opening a finder window and going to your downloads, find the flash player in here and then double click on it and follow the prompts to complete the installation.
after this is completed you will need to completely quit out of the web browser you're using then reopen it for the change to take affect and your issue should be resolved. if it's not you need to contact adobe their number is 800 642-3623. -

I just purchased an Apple TV MD199LL/A, got it connected to my internet. I can go to Youtube and watch videos. I'm able to access Netflix. All seems well except I cannot connect to my iTunes account. I have gone through the list - home sharing is set correctly on both iTunes and my Apple TV. The userid is correct on both.
Message "Loading prodrigu's library" and then "Could not connect to prodrigu's library".
I had this same problem when I installed the REMOTE application on my ipad. Everything on the list was affirmative, but had the same problem not being able to connect to my iTunes.
What is missing? Is there a firewall setting that could be causing this?I don't mean to be facetious but sometimes the simplest things are overlooked. To connect to your library you have to have the computer where the iTunes library is located running and with iTunes open. It also needs to be on the same network. My network is dual band and works with either stream but a friend of mine does not. He has to set the computer and the Apple TV to the same band. Hope this helps.

My Apple TV memory is getting full. How do I see what is stored on the Apple TV and how do I erase content?
Apps cannot be removed much less added to the device.
Only content from the iTunes store (movies, tv shows, music) can be added/removed on the 1st Gen ATV.
Again, the 2nd and 3rd Gen ATVS have no onboard storage for content and would generate no such message.
Just curious, has your ATV been jailbroken? If it has, no support can be provided via these forums. -
Can't view full episodes of CBS shows
I have Quicktime 7.1.6. Attempts to view full tv episodes result in an error message: Don't have MIME plugin for audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin so I can't view.
I downloaded flip4mac and still the same message.
How to fix?
IMac 17-in,Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9)Thanks for the link. Ok, I watched the full episode (the one I missed) of CSI-NY.
You probably need to make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software and/or go to:
QuickTime Preferences > Advanced > MIME Stettings > Miscellaneous.
Deactivate the "Flash Media" option.
This tells the browser not to to display Flash Media and lets the newly installed Adobe software work its magic.
Did you repair permissions & restart after installing RealPlayer? If not, make sure you do so after installing the Flash Player (if you do not already have same). -
Since yesterday my Apple TV will not load the movies or tv at all. I select it from the home screen, it goes black, tries to load then goes back to the home screen. YouTube and Netflix works though. I've reset the Apple TV and the modem. No change. Any ideas what the problem is?

If i have a home full of Apple TV's and Airport Express' can i airplay music in every room at the same time?
Or just one device(room) at a time?
It seems there is a lot of home theater systems where they all hook up to one "control" and then disperse to the different locations per instructions..
Is this possible with all apple products?From iTunes using Multiple Speakers (you can control with the Remote app on iPhone/iPad too), but not from AppleTV itself.

My apple TV dosent work anymore with youtube and netflix?
my apple TV dosent work anymore with youtube and netflix? Use to work but not anymore, the rest of the apple tv works fine... I reboot everything....
Allfilms,
Try logging out of your Netflix and YouTube accounts and see if that will work. If not, a common reset should solve the problem.
Depending on the generation, you should be able to restart the Apple TV through the ,"General" option on your menu.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3180 --> see this link in regards to reset.
Let us know how it turns out.
