YouTube app for Windows Phone runs out of videos
A new update of the YouTube app forWindows Phone, a new episode of the drama between Google and Microsoft Something that the users of this platform are getting used to even though they are still the big losers of this story. And it is that the disagreements between the companies to create an official video tool continue without being carried out, constantly forcing the modification of an application that now does not play the videos itself, but instead links for playback on the Web page.
Thus, with the update that brings the version number of YouTube for Windows Phone to 3.2, the tool gives a step back limiting all possibilities to reproduction on the web That is,Goodbye to managing channels, uploading and downloading videos or managing subscriptions Plain and simple, YouTube for Windows Phone now refers to the web page of this video portal to see them there. A whole step back from the last version that Microsoft released of this application Of course that to Googledidn't like it at all.
This soap opera goes back several months, when Microsoft decided to create an application for its users to enjoy 's videos YouTube on your devices.However, the application did not seem to meet the requirements of GoogleMicrosoft blamed Google for not providing it with the necessary tools for the creation of a decent application and decided to start collaborating. To do this Microsoft should create a tool in the programming language HTML5, Internet-based, through which he could introduce all the improvements that YouTube had developed, in addition to the before of the videos and other issues present in the terms of use ofGoogle
That was the last functional and really attractive version of YouTube for Windows Phone An application that no longer only allowed the reproduction of content, included, in the application itself, but also allowed the upload of videos recorded with the terminal, the download of others, and many of the features of account and subscription managementEverything that a regular user of this tool could wish for. But for Google it was still not enough, so blocked the service again
Now the application is operational again, although regressing to levels from the beginning of this technological pulse. An app that isn't an app itself, taking the user to the YouTube web page to play the videos and losing many of the features that a tool provides for smartphones of this video portal. Another setback for users who are surely used to using any of the many free alternatives available in the Windows Phone Store that do allow the downloading of videos, their playback in the application itself and many other features related to user accounts and subscriptions
