This maybe a dumb question but I have a problem with YouTube.
I live in Barcelona and I live in a shared house. My roommates are Indian and most of the time they watch Indian movies or other programs on YouTube.
I started to learn Android programming and I obviously there is no better place than YouTube to find tutorials.
So the problem is, although I use my own laptop and my own Google account to watch the videos and tutorials, it always shows me videos with Indian accent (for sure Indians are not the only ones preparing tutorials, right?).
I don't want to say that the videos or tutorials are bad, but to be honest sometimes it is hard to understand (I know I'm not perfect English speaker, I'm not a native English speaker either, I have problem with pronunciation), also, isn't it weired that YouTube (or better to say Google) even tracks your WiFi network, or is it just me.
I thought it personalizes according to your account and videos you have watched before, but it seems that it also tracks your WiFi network.
So anyway, if this a known issue and if there is any solution for this I'll be more than happy to know.
As I know, accent cannot be detected but the account names can be, so they can be user-spesific. I recommend maybe you quit from your account and search using the default youtube browser to see if anything changes. If not, there's no such filtering. Just those people make more tutorials than native speakers.

YouTube recently forced everyone to the new YouTube studio for live streaming. Per their documentation here https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2853812?hl=en the only place to setup Multiple Camera angles is on the Events page. However, since their change I can't access Classic Streaming anymore, it just pop ups a message saying
Live Control Room is the new way to go live.
I've tried reaching out to YouTube directly - I'm stuck in a support loop of uselessness. Has anyone else seen this and found a workaround?
Direct email from YouTube:
I just want to make all a clarification regarding your concern why you can't find to stream with multiple camera angles.
Due because of low usage and since it can't be watched on mobile,
multi-camera won't migrate to Live Control Room right now. Rest
assured we are looking for a better version of this product in the
near future.
We also recommend you to send a feedback to our Product team so they
can look into your suggestion.
Thanks for your understanding on this matter. Let me know if you have
other questions.
I am the owner of an educational YouTube Channel with tens of thousands of short videos. I would like to get some more organic reach by implementing end screen cards on all videos that are already posted. Unfortunately, Youtube does not have a built-in feature to bulk-apply end screen cards.
This leads people to go to paid services such as TubeBuddy and VidIQ to gain that functionality. Unfortunately, due to the size of my channel, I am in no position to pay for these apps and so would like to use my programming knowledge to implement the functionality myself.
Note: VidIQ does have free bulk copy however I am limited to only updating the latest 3000 videos, of which only 2000 successfully updated since many of my videos don't have matching aspect ratios.
I've tried to look for an answer on google and on StackOverflow without success. From these three questions...
How to add end screen with YouTube Data API?
Is possible to add annotations or a 'end screen' to a video when i'm uploading it using Java youtube api?
Youtube upload API Card end
... you would guess that it is impossible to do this but how is it done by TubeBuddy and vidIQ then? I highly suggest not reiterating the answers in the above three questions as it is possible since there are already multiple apps that implement it. The reason behind youtube tag is that it's most fitting however the answer can be anything from automation software to any specialized language imaginable I just simply cannot find any leads.
I am looking into developing an application to transcribe an audio file for me, then it gives me a document with words or phrases and times spoken, just like YouTube does. I could just upload files to YouTube and then get the transcript but I want to use it offline. Anyone to help? Where can I start?
Not sure about Youtube, but I would start with Google Cloud Speech API, and if you're not happy with it, then I'd go through these 5 as well.
Also, bear in mind that Chrome has Web Speech API built in (and most likely Firefox has something similar, but I never had a need to explore that), so if what you're doing is for web, you should check that out too.
Let us know if this helped.
I am looking for a solution to record the screen of my app - especially an online video. Initially I used this link to implement this:
http://codethink.no-ip.org/wordpress/archives/673
This does record everything selected in the view however the youtube player shows up as a black screen. After research I came across the Kamcord library used by games.
Anyone know if this can be used to record non-game app views - especially online videos embedded in UIWebView?
Do you know why the video in a uiwebview is treated differently? Is it using open-gl?
I don't think this is the answer your hoping for. But this may be helpful to someone looking to do this in the future.
The current version of Kamcord 1.9 does not support any recording. Kamcord is moving into the live stream hosting business. Version 1.7 is still obtainable via github Official support is supposed to end August 24th 2015, but I haven't had a reply back, even for questions about the new version for weeks now, a week before official close.
The online implementation documentation was kept on their website and I when I asked for the 1.7 documents I was told they "did not have them" since no backup was kept. I suggested they look into source control systems. You can get some of the older iOS documents from the way back machine (please consider donating) but the Android documents are not to be found (nor did it do basic things like let you control video length on Android.)
I'm working on improving the experience of a site by adding in iPad support. This includes support for videos. Our client is pushing towards a YouTube model for storing and serving videos -- great for us! I originally planned to implement the use of YouTube's new HTML5-supporting <iframe> snippets. This offloads the device detection to YouTube and makes embedding a video a cinch as we don't need to worry about compatibility. It turns out the the CMS we're using, Sitecore CMS, strips out <iframe>'s from our WYSIWYG editor. After a lot of research it looks like its a bit hard to not make this happen.
Fast forward to now... I tested out the old style <embed> code and discovered even though iOS doesn't support Flash, these embeds seem to work fine on iPad. Some Stack Overflow research led me to this post which suggests its because of the YouTube plugin /System/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/YouTubePlugIn.webplugin on iPads that allows for the playback.
My question is, is there any documentation that this is the exact reason? I'd like to go by this as why we can use the regular <embed> code but I need to back it up with proof via a document for iOS. Is this YT plug-in on every iPad by default, or do users need to manually install it? This seems like a great solution considering our unfortunate incompatibility with an <iframe> but I need to support the use of the <embed>'s with hard facts. Thanks in advance.
The answer you are looking for is to be found in Apple's URL Scheme Reference. Basically it's a mechanism that comes into play on the iDevices to detect and handle specifically, certain types of URLs - for instance Google Maps, iTunes and also YouTube.
Here's a few reference links.
