YouTube embedded in WebPopup continuously buffers

Howdy.

I cut bits out of my app and now just want to have the one WebPopup with the Mobile version of the YouTube page I want on there.
I can view the page fine and watch videos using Mobile Safari, but a Corona WebPopup showing the same page continuously buffers and never shows the movie.

 -- Test network connection first  
local function testNetworkConnection()  
 local google = require('socket').connect('google.com', 80)  
 if google == nil then  
 return false  
 end  
 google:close()  
 return true  
end  
  
 -- Delay to let webpopup close  
 local function toMenu( event )  
 director:changeScene( "mainmenu", "moveFromLeft" )  
 end  
  
 -- If HOME button pressed, head back to menu  
 local bt01t = function ( event )  
 if event.phase == "ended" then  
 native.cancelWebPopup()  
 timer.performWithDelay(500, toMenu )  
 end  
 end  
 NavbarImage:addEventListener("touch",bt01t)  
 -- If network exists, pop up page  
 if testNetworkConnection() == true then  
 native.showWebPopup( 0, 48, 320, 432,  
 "http://m.youtube.com/brad20071",{urlRequest=listener} )  
 else native.showAlert( "Tech Webcast", "No network detected. Please connect to 3G or Wifi.", { "OK", }, toMenu )  
 end  
 unloadMe = function()  
 if theTimer then timer.cancel( theTimer ); end  
 end  

Any clues are always appreciated.

Seems WebPopups are a problem on Corona SDK… [import]uid: 10389 topic_id: 13596 reply_id: 50054[/import]

They have always been a problem. Here are two recommendations:

1: Include the video in your package and play the video that way.

2: Do system.openURL(“http://www.youtube.com/whatever”)

Webpopups are just horrible in the Corona SDK. Your better just having it exit the app and go to the Youtube app.

Dang. Both not ideal answers but thanks for the suggestions :-/
I just wish Corona could do Webpopups right. [import]uid: 10389 topic_id: 13596 reply_id: 50106[/import]

If I decide to stay with Corona I’ll not use any Webpopups in the future. [import]uid: 10389 topic_id: 13596 reply_id: 50107[/import]
