iMore

More than a few times when I'm pulling up YouTube videos on my ipad 2 I get that "won't play on this device" and switching to desktop or mobile viewing rarely helps,,, yet the same exact videos will play fine on my Android tablets,,,,,, why is that ?,,,,, and is there a fix ?

I'm using the official iOS YouTube app as well.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
