I just picked up a 160gb ATV tonight, and have since synced my content, and for the most part, all is well. However, when I tried the youtube feature, I get 'no content available - cannot connect to youtube - try again later'. Well, I tried again later with the same result. Also, when I try to login from ATV into youtube, my login/password are refused - and no, I'm not forgetting the correct login/password. I even re-verified my login/password via my Mac on youtube.com, and my login worked just fine. Some searching shows some thread on some other forums about this issue, but the threads I found don't have any answers.
Also, I used to use tubesock to download videos from youtube. Since my hard drive crashed with my tubesock registration code and tubesock won't return emails I've sent requesting the reg. code(I've specified to them to locate my original purchase info of tubesock so they can verify that I am legitimate, but they still will not return email). I managed to save a few tubesock converted videos, and they indeed will play on ATV. I've refused to re-purchase tubesock out of principal, so lately, I have been downloading youtube flv files with OS X's activity monitor(ctl + opt + a -- then find the 'get video' file in the activity monitor, click, let safari d-load it, then convert to .mp4 via iSquint). These files play fine in quicktime and/or VLC, and when dropped in to iTunes, they sync with my ipod just fine and play just fine. Now, these files on the ATV do not play. I get audio, no video. The little picture preview 'cover flow' in ATV even shows a video screen capture of the video files, but still will not play the video. This same non-tubesock converted video also does not play when imported to iMovie or iDVD either.
Can anybody help steer me in the right direction with these issues?
