Also tried it picking type custom URL. In each case I put in link to a YouTube video (who's on first routine, http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=US#/watch?v=sShMA85pv8M ) but clicking it in app just gets me to YouTube home page What am I missing? Thanks. Title Comments This is my first try at YouTube so I've added a test menu element and picked type YouTube. Also tried it picking type custom URL.

I just tried the one you posted, and it took me to the YouTube home page as well. Try this : Find a video...click on the Share button, and use that URL. It should look something like this - http://youtu.be/c4yb6y6XkSA (real video from my wife's cousin..check it out!). Does that work better?

I have found it best to make sure to use a pure youtube url vs a mobile or the url shortening youtube can do. I use the same method gonorthwest said to get my urls. It can be noted that I have also been able to to use url's set to begin at certain times with no problem as well. Comments what go northwest said.
