play youtube live streams

[AC Question]

I have a samsung galaxy ace that will not play live streams from youtube. I get 'live event playback is not supported on this client'. Do any other samsung galaxy phones play live streams from youtube? if so which one?

Welcome to Android Central! YouTube live streaming requires the OS to support HLS (HTTP Live Streaming): HLS Android (HTTP Live Streaming) Audio with HLS Android Example. It sounds like this didn't really become smooth on Android until KitKat. What OS version is your Ace running?

I've resigned myself to the fact I need a newer phone but I'd like to get one that can handle live video streaming.

From that article, it sounds like live streaming became stable after KitKat, so you shouldn't have any problems finding a new or used phone that can handle it.
