Description

The Vevo app is now useless.

Tried to play the first featured video (OK Go exclusive) and all that displayed was a black screen. Bringing up the OSD showed the time at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (seconds) before the OSD stopped displaying. Bring up the OSD again shows the time at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and the video never actually plays (waited a full minute).

Navigating to other "sections" of the app (featured, charts, etc) brings up the spinning blue circle for 20+ seconds and then nothing is actually displayed (for charts at least).

I love VEVO. It's such a shame that the VEVO app has never ever really lived up to its potential for any length of time.

Videos are playing fine for me, all categories load in seconds. Only thing I'm able to reproduce is the charts category is empty. Darcilicous, can you confirm this is now the case? Its possible that Vevo was having some api issues at the time of this ticket. We'll look into the charts section not loading.

Same issue here. Version 2.53. Clicking on "Charts" just shows a black screen.
Done the above, doesn't work.
