[Xerte] Re: Youtube Issues: XOT

[Adam Salem]

The plot thickens indeed...

Our install is running on Windows Server 2008 R@ with IIS 7.5.

So I guess linux isn't the bugbear here...

Richard if you look at the video request URL that gets sent when you try
to play the video (With Fiddler or Charles) is it malformed? I.e. Has 2
?'s in it?
