    I cant seem to get any you tube videos to play on a Lumia 520. Keeps coming up this video cant be played on a mobile or unsurported video format. Do any of the apps work?

    that's an odd one, do any other non-YouTube video apps fail, eg vimeo? Does it happen on both WiFi and cellular?

    It doesnt fail as such, hardly any videos play. Just makes them pointless. I'll take a look at vimeo

    It looks like the official MS / YouTube app is back.

    Yeah this has been re-released after getting the go ahead from Google.

    There is also now an upload option directly onto Youtube.

    MS and Google are having a tiff. Google are now blocking the YouTube app from receiving content. Nice to see them playing well together

    Back to metrotube everyone! Google are setting themselves up for the type of antitrust trouble Microsoft got into back in the Netscape vs internet explorer days.
