Watch Later questions 4 ipad

[bigorangekitty]

I noticed that a lot of website i visit, like kontraband, and youtube, who have a lot of flv (flash) videos are not playing back. I know iOS has no flash, so what are the rules for boxee ipad app? What's the general rules of "Watch Later" feature? What videos are, and are not, allowed by "watch later"? I just want to avoid the "hit and miss" of bookmarking something to watch later, and when I go to watch later, it does not.

thank you for any guidance.

The issue is that the "Watch Later" queue can also be accessed via the Boxee Box and the installed Boxee software -- both of which can play Flash fine. Unfortunately, that means it's probably going to be hit or miss for iPad users no matter what.

Thank you very much for the reply. I like the friendliness here in the boxee forums. it's refreshing.

are there any websites that boxee users frequently use that might be helpful to get my content on my ipad 2?

i'm really starting to consider getting a boxee box.

thanks for any replies!

best regards

How many "watch later" can you have on the ipad app? after the update today, it seems a lot of mine are gone.

I've never lost anything in my Watch Later queue that I'm aware of but my Friends queue gets pruned (on the iPad) a lot...

On YouTube, are you using "Channel" pages at all to add to your Watch Later queue? I discovered the following last night:

1. In browser, go here: http://www.youtube.com/user/MobyStuff -- default video will be "The Day" Official
2. Use bookmarklet to add to Watch Later queue
   
3. On iPad go to Watch Later queue, video will have the play icon with a slash through it
4. In browser, on same channel page, click on the title of the video to bring up page with only video
5. Use bookmarklet to add to Watch Later queue
   
6. On iPad go to Watch Later queue, video will play fine.
