    I had this problem. Open a command prompt and type "ping gdata.youtube.com". That didn't work for me, which made me realize something was messed up. I checked my firewall (that could have been it) but I couldn't ping it even with the firewall turned off. Next I checked my DNS settings and found out that I didn't have a DNS server set. I added the right entry and then everything worked (not just youtube).

    Ok I figured it out. For some reason the youtube settings don't like my email/password combination (which I retyped multiple times and still had no success). If I delete these fields, everything loads fine again.

    There seem to be several errors shown in the log: (1) There are many lines that say Invalid year for OnAirDate. This suggests that either the web site is sending invalid data, or that the format of the data has changed and the TvMovieEPG Importer is misinterpreting it. (2) There is also this error, but I don't know what it means...

I am hoping the good citizen of past is...

    Hello, I would like to use a media server to display various learning categories. I prefer not to use software like Kodi, as it requires extensive metadata scraping that I don't need. Is it possible to instantly access the video categories when landing on the page? I would like to display a single media page with the following...

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1

    I think therein lies my problem. I am on 1.6.2.0. So thanks both for your help, I will pause this thread for now and come back to it while I work out what to do next. The problem is we have a family member who relies on MiniDisplay and I don't know if upgrading the set up is going to spoil compatibility with that plug in. The set up...
