[android-developers] Re: You need to enter a valid Youtube address.
I tried removing the 's' in https, and incidentally changing the url to include the 'watch' parameter as in... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhXy552unRU I think the root of the problem is that the youtube movie was tested as unlisted and maybe that parameter stuck too long.

Remove the 's' in 'https' in the url. It works.

August 2013 and the problem stills. Thanks for this thread to show the solution! On Monday, November 19, 2012 11:08:58 PM UTC-3, Keith Wiley wrote: So, I have sort of found the problem and solution.

[android-developers] Re: You need to enter a valid Youtube address.
Incidentally, I don't think the problem is my video. For example, I found another app on the market, not my app, which had a video. I attempted to attach the youtube URL to that video to my app (just to test of course) and I got the same error. Presumably, the URL format in my first post in this thread is not, in fact, correct...but I am confounded as to what the correct format is. Gah! Why is the error message so unhelpful. Please help.

I also tried the youtube short URL, btw, i.e., http://youtu.be/XXX. http://youtu.be/KmBVrga0mGw -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: You need to enter a valid Youtube address.
I couldn't get that to work. Did you add it using the old console system or the new one?
