Interesting, when I turned off the TV, my Pioneer Amp appeared under the TV Icon in its place! I then turned off the Amp leaving just the Freetime box on, but now the TV icon no longer appeared in the YouTube app.
All that suggests you can only see one external device listed at a time in the YouTube app, which seems strange as I have other apps than can see and list all my dlna devices though even they don't see the Freetime box,...yet
I can now see the Humax in my iPad YouTube app... hooray! (The Samsung TV is also listed as before)
How did I get this to appear? Well, I'm not 100% sure, but the main thing I did was to go into the following Settings option,...
Home > Humax > Select the bottom right icon (not in front of my box now, so can't remember the text) which searches for connected DLNA devices. This located my NAS and allowed me to browse movies and play them through the Humax.
I've never used this option on the Humax before (I've always played my NAS movies directly to my Samsung TV).
Anyway, as soon as I'd done the above (searching for connected devices and then exited), miraculously I could now see my Humax Device ID within the YouTube App. It's as if searching for connected devices wakes up an option on the box to make it externally visible. The streaming speed was also very good.
Now,... is it possible to rename the Device ID to something useful, like 'Humax Freetime' (I suspect it is not)?
