RoboB should  normally support anything that Internet Explorer supports.  It will depend on which version of Internet Explorer you have installed.

I have tested the Al-Jazeera youtube stream in RoboB (using Internet Explorer 11) and it is working for me.

However, the only way I can make it full-screen is to use mouse emulation, because IE11 doesn't seem to support the youtube keyboard shortcuts.

But in this case, using a regular browser is fine -- Firefox or Chrome. If you want to have the video automatically go full-screen, you can use the keyboard shorcut "f".

*BUT* regular keyboard emulation does not work. Youtube keyboard shortcuts require DirectX, so you would need to enable the DxInput plugin.

e.g.

I've been working on a command for controlling netflix.com with RoboB and I found for keyboard shortcuts to work you have to click the mouse on the window then use DxInput to issue the keyboard shortcut,

this command makes a youtube video fullsceen using mouse emulation and dxinput

you may have to change the mouse coordinates

Personally I am not able to make youtube go full screen with the F key if I am using Internet Explorer.  It simply won't do it.  I get a message that full screen is unavailable with a link that is completely useless and provides no pertinent information.

Yet I can click on the fullscreen icon and it works fine.

well that's better then I got with internet explorer (on windows 10) It would crash the browser when trying to load a video

Microsoft Edge and Firefox work with F to make it go full screen

when I use the command posted above it works 8 out of ten times but I think that has to do with weather the video has started
