Troubleshoot YouTube display

Songview uses an internal webserver and client to display YouTube videos. You must allow Songview internet access for this to work. Windows will ask you to enable this when Songview is first started; once enabled you should not see the message again.

YouTube does not allow some videos (e.g. Vevo) to be played this way and must be shown using the YouTube website. You will get an error message if this is the case.
Use Download Youtube button at the bottom of the Internet Preview section. The clip will be downloaded and added to the Playlist as a video; the file is stored in your Video folder.

Songview uses javascript for the Projected Youtube Player controls on the Internet tab. If you are having trouble with these use the Download button to add the clip as a video file.

Troubleshoot internet display

Songview checks for an internet connection on start up and will disable internet use if the check fails.

To enable it go to the Preferences / Advanced tab and uncheck 'Disable Internet Access'.
