That URL should be
https://www.youtube.com/embed/YHS7dyN6sgM
It also crashes iOS if the phone is blocked by a firewall.
=========
When a firewall or some other "obstruction" prevents accessing a URL in the browser widget on Android, it responds with an error page, in HTML, viz.
===========
[Android Green Robot Icon]
"Webpage not available
The webpage at https://www.youtube.copm/embed/YHs7dyN6sgM
could not be loaded.
Net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET
===========
And now all the buttons and the nav/task bar at the bottom (which are now SVG drawings imported as icons) cease to function. The engine is blocked. The only way out is for the user to stop the app.
It's a pretty nasty bug. I will report it as such. But I was wondering, as a hack, if there is a way we could preempt the message with a TSnet command, before Android give the message. Then we could hide the browser, and give a notification: "Web Page not available. Check you net connection."
And keep the engine/buttons "alive" so the user can back out to "home"
