Workaround for your current YouTube troubles on Wii U

I noticed that with the new Wii U update to version 4.0 the freezing users were experiencing while playing YouTube videos has gone away. Another issue has cropped up in its place. Sometimes when playing a YouTube video (usually directly from the YouTube site), users may be given an error message stating "Sorry, this video is not available on this device."

Apparently, there is a workaround that fixes this temporarily.

If you go to the Wii U Internet Browser start page, you will see a settings tab in the upper right corner. Click that and scroll down to "Set User Agent". Change the setting from Wii U to Internet Explorer. This resets every time the browser is closed. When you try to access the video now, a Flash Player needed dialogue box will pop up but will go away. This change will allow those unplayable videos to load properly. A side note - you can change the resolution BEFORE playing the videos as opposed to getting the option after it has started as with the Wii U agent settings.
