Hello!

Who managed to fix the problem?

I have done all the procedures described above but it still does not work. The same trouble screen with no result.

Very helpful step-by-step.
Thanks Kentfarst

Same here. I have done the above and still have a blank page. when i uncheck the “enable” box, the youtube gallery shows.

does the gallery have to be under my account? what if I’m designing for another person/friend. Can I not create the API under my gmail login?

is this why it will not show?

ok. it works for individual videos, not for playlist or users

Shouldn’t be. The account you make it under doesn’t matter. The most important part is giving permission to the website. When you enter this bit:
*.MYWEBSITE.COM/*

I’ll check this out but for the time being it looks like YouTube removed the DeviceSupport error. So you are fine staying with the v2 version. Wish they would have done that before I added the annoying notice.

thanks for the quick response kind sir

ok. got the playlist to show fine without the error video. V3 Public API has to be unchecked.

I will add that for some reason, entering the referrer as stated above won’t work sometimes. I’ve had instances where if I clear it out — accepting all referrers — check that my videos load and then come back and enter it again, as stated above, it will work. I’m not sure if this is just me.

Hello,
i have Version 1.2.3 of WP Theater.
I got now an public API Key with the correct Referrer, but it still doens’t work.
When I disable the v3 Public API in Settings, i still get the YouTube devicesupport notification.

What can i do?

Try removing the referrer and seeing if it works.

nope ??
all referrers are allowed, but i got still a blank page when v3 is enabled.

Can you make a new support thread and post your shortcode?

I got it working using v3 but you need a sever key, not a browser key. I’m guessing this is because it’s a cURL request from the server to the YT API, not a JS request from the users browser.

Server Keys are set to an IP address. Browser Keys are set to a domain. It’s not about client side vs server side code.
