This version was scheduled to be released on March 17 before the issues with YouTube started. But we delayed this release to work on YouTube. For now YouTube works on the TV using Snowglobe, SL Viewer 2, Kirstens Viewer or any SL viewer that supports Flash. We are still testing different options for fixing YouTube on non-flash SL viewers based on 1.23.5.
This new TV version has our latest scripts and updates with all new features listed below;
Now includes...
New Sync feature
Allows you to Sync the YouTube videos Stored on your TV with our server by clicking a single button on the TV.
YouTube Channel now has a Sync Button
When you Click on Sync the YouTube videos saved on your TV will be uploaded to the server and added to the list of videos you already have on the server. The new updated list will then be downloaded to your TV. Sync keeps the videos on your TV current with the videos you saved on the server.
With Sync you never lose your videos. The server will always have a copy of the list. Sync updates the TV and server to keep both current with exactly the same list of videos.
You can download your list of favorite YouTube videos from the server to any @home TV you own by clicking the same Sync button.
You can also access your list of YouTube videos on @home TV via webTV even if you don't own the TV (as long the TV owner didn't restrict access)

Viewer Issues: Some of the WebCasts/podcast videos available on WebTV have don't work well on Viewer 2 and Snowglobe. The Quicktime plugin that comes with Viewer 2 and Snowglobe is not yet as stable as the regular parcel media player on 1.23.5 viewers like emerald and old SL viewer.
New: Play movies stored on your Hard Drive with Stream Media on WebTV
Now you can Play videos stored on your PC Hard Drive directly inside SL using WebTV and Opera Web Browser. See details here. The video will need to be in quicktime supported video format (or in flash format if your viewer supports flash) . This feature works with all @home TVs with webTV.

New Chat Command

When this command is typed on chat in front of the TV, the TV will Release its web address and acquire a new web address for webTV. This command only works for the TV owner.
Fixes
After a region or rolling restart the TV no longer needs to be picked up to inventory to fix the 'NOT FOUND' error issues on WebTV.
Simply clicking on the TV Main Menu -> WebTV button and opening a new web page will fix this issue (without picking up the TV and rezzing it again). [ fixed from version 6.0.4 and higher. Also fixed on YouTube TV Pro 7.0.4 & higher]
When the TV is on auto-play and meets a video that is no longer available on youtube it will Now skip and play the next video. In the older versions of the TV it goes out of auto-play when it meets a video that is no longer available on youTube. [fixed from version 6.0.2 and higher. Also fixed on YouTube TV pro 7.0.2 and higher]
Changes
We recently noticed that the YouTube script with Saved videos may crash when it holds over 130 videos in memory. In this new version we changed the limit of videos saved in memory from 150 videos to 120 to prevent the script from crashing in the future. However the server will be able to hold unlimited youtube bookmarks available via webTV.
