Hi everyone,   I've been following the forum posts to create a Channel of YouTube videos from a specific user.   When clicking on the Channel Icon, I get a list with thumbnails and descriptions of the available videos, but when I select an actual video, I get the following returned: ``` Server unavailable. We couldn't reach "phoenix". Make sure it's online and try again. ``` "Phoenix" is the name of the local server that is running, and serving out PMS, and it is very much online and available.   I've used Developer Tools in FireFox and Chrome, and seeing the following being reported:   FireFox:   Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at [http://109.158.1.230:18578/?X-Plex-Product=Plex+Web&X-Plex-Version=2.3.7&X-Plex-Client-Identifier=qc8r1te57w&X-Plex-Platform=Firefox&X-Plex-Platform-Version=34.0&X-Plex-Device=Windows&X-Plex-Device-Name=Plex+Web+(Firefox)&X-Plex-Token=iFapDsZKxybigFszuAcF&X-Plex-Username=my.username%40mailprovider.com&Accept-Language=en](http://109.158.1.230:18578/?X-Plex-Product=Plex+Web&X-Plex-Version=2.3.7&X-Plex-Client-Identifier=qc8r1te57w&X-Plex-Platform=Firefox&X-Plex-Platform-Version=34.0&X-Plex-Device=Windows&X-Plex-Device-Name=Plex+Web+(Firefox)&X-Plex-Token=iFapDsZKxybigFszuAcF&X-Plex-Username=my.username%40mailprovider.com&Accept-Language=en). This can be fixed by moving the resource to the same domain or enabling CORS.   Chrome:    XMLHttpRequest cannot load [https://r5---sn-cu-n1qs.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?initcwndbps=1766250&d](https://r5---sn-cu-n1qs.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?initcwndbps=1766250&d)…=youtube&mv=m&ratebypass=yes&mt=1420043256&ip=109.158.1.230&requiressl=yes. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:32400' is therefore not allowed access.   I've also attempted to setup the channel on a Linux server - but having the same issue.   I have seen some posts here discussing CORS and attempted some of the suggested fixes, but had no luck with them.   Any suggestions would be gratefully received.   Many thanks.   Tony     ---

If the above links are the location of the video streams, nothing can be easily done to fix this, it's built into those browsers to perform these checks ... You can always try forcing a transcode, since PMS doesn't care about cross domain accesses. ---
