[android-developers] Re: "You need to enter a valid Youtube address."

August 2013 and the problem stills. Thanks for  this thread to show the solution!

So, I have sort of found the problem and solution.  This is really really weird.  If I type a youtube address into FireFox or click on a youtube clip in youtube to go to that video, it automatically forwards to "https" even if I start with "http".  If I copy/paste the https URL into the dev console, it rejects it as I have described in this thread even though the https URL loads the video just fine.  I must manually edit the URL to be http in the dev console in order to make it go through.

Admittedly, Safari didn't seem to convert the URL to https so the error is somewhat browser specific.  Nonetheless, I am amazed that I found absolutely no description of this problem as I was trying to figure out what was going on.

So, now it's documented, here, in this thread...forever.

Cheers!
