The app was upgraded to be compatible with OS X Yosemite. Unfortunately, it crashes as soon as it starts up. So it is not compatible. It is still a beta at version 0.5.1. And obviously it is seriously flawed. Hopefully the developer can fix it to a usable state. Here is the crash message: Exception Name: NSInternalInconsistencyException Description: Invalid parameter not satisfying: stateDirectoryURL != nil User Info: (null) 0 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff8fd4866c __exceptionPreprocess + 172 1 libobjc.A.dylib 0x00007fff8a4a776e objc_exception_throw + 43 2 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff8fd4844a +[NSException raise:format:arguments:] + 106 3 Foundation 0x00007fff834543a9 -[NSAssertionHandler handleFailureInMethod:object:file:lineNumber:description:] + 195 4 AppKit 0x00007fff83e8def3 -[NSPersistentUIPreservedStateDirectory initWithStateDirectory:] + 132 5 AppKit 0x00007fff83e962ca +[NSPersistentUIManager(NSCarbonMethods) copyPersistentCarbonWindowDictionariesForBundleID:] + 231 6 HIToolbox 0x00007fff8a89625b _HIPersistentUICopyPersistentCarbonWindowDictionariesForBundleID + 75 7 HIToolbox 0x00007fff8a896200 _ZL34GetPersistenceDictionariesAtLaunchv + 52 8 HIToolbox 0x00007fff8a8961c6 _Z29WindowStateInitFirstEventTimev + 9 9 HIToolbox 0x00007fff8a895ba3 _FirstEventTime + 52 10 HIToolbox 0x00007fff8a895a35 RunCurrentEventLoopInMode + 49 11 HIToolbox 0x00007fff8a89576e ReceiveNextEventCommon + 179 12 HIToolbox 0x00007fff8a8956ab _BlockUntilNextEventMatchingListInModeWithFilter + 71 13 AppKit 0x00007fff83e94f81 _DPSNextEvent + 964 14 AppKit 0x00007fff83e94730 -[NSApplication nextEventMatchingMask:untilDate:inMode:dequeue:] + 194 15 AppKit 0x00007fff83e88593 -[NSApplication run] + 594 16 AppKit 0x00007fff83e73a14 NSApplicationMain + 1832 17 YouView 0x00000001000014bc start + 52 18 ??? 0x0000000000000001 0x0 + 1

Finally an YouTube app like the one from apple TV. My ATV died and replaced it with a 2011 Mini and I try to emulate some apps. Works on my 2011 Mini (Lion) and 2008 MBP (SL). The major plus is that you can access your account playlist. (no need to make them all over again) The major minus is that it only show max. 50 videos per playlist (not 200 as max from YouTube). I will donate even tho i don't care about DL feature. Great app. Make a nicer UI, increase the number of videos displayed to 200 and take my money :)
