Problems adding YouTube videos to a Clearbox 2.0 Lightbox

Hi -
     I'm still fairly new to web design and Dreamweaver CS6. I am trying to put some YouTube videos into a Clearbox 2.0 Lightbox -- seems like a very elegant and effective way to display the videos. I have used the Clearbox 2.0 Lightbox successfully with still images/jpg files. When I try to use it to link to a YouTube video, however, I get a blank white box when I test it online. I know that it is possible to display YouTube videos in Clearbox: the example file includes a YouTube video, and it plays when tested. Here is the code that is included in the example file:
    <div class="item"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/OtQN-iDfprU" rel="clearbox[gallery=Gallery,,width=700,,height=490,,title=A clearbox 3 preview movie on YouTube,,comment=I uploaded some movies to YouTube from clearbox 3...]"><img src="example/no_youtube.gif" alt="youtube movie" /></a></div>
     My assumption was that I could simply change the http:// link and my desired video would replace the one in the example, but this is not the case. I change the code to what is pasted below and I get a blank white box.
    <div class="item"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc8SIQGxnXk" rel="clearbox[gallery=Gallery,,width=700,,height=490,,title=A clearbox 3 preview movie on YouTube,,comment=I uploaded some movies to YouTube from clearbox 3...]"><img src="example/no_youtube.gif" alt="youtube movie" /></a></div>
     I have tried creating a sample file in Dreamweaver that has nothing in it except the Clearbox widget and these two videos. The one with the pre-written YouTube link works, the other doesn't. What am I doing wrong? Or better, how do I do it right? Very grateful for any help that can be offered!

Thank you for the response, Sudarshan. I did not have the page online, and in the process of trying to put something together to upload for you, I figured it out. For the benefit of others who may run into the same problem, here was the solution.
In the code above, I was removing the sample YouTube http:// link and replacing it with the YouTube http:// link that I wanted. However, there was one more step that I needed to do. In that link, after http://www.youtube.com/ you need to replace watch?v= with v/ . Once I did that, everything worked like a charm!

HELP! Problem viewing Youtube videos.

Hello,
I am having problems viewing Youtube videos. Everything was great until the other day. I have not changed anything on my computer to create this problem.
Diagnosis:
when viewing videos straight from youtube.com with Safari, it loads and starts to play the video & audio. after the first second the visual video disappears and the audio keeps playing. I can scroll throughout the video, but no picture.
I do not understand, I have updated everything and still same outcome. It was working the other day fine and then boom, no video. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Thank you for you help,
B

Sounds like a problem with Flash. I'd recommend visiting Adobe's web site and updating to the most current version for OS X.

Having lagging problems with YouTube videos, it simply takes so long for the red bar to completely load and the videos frequently pause and take too long to restart playing again.

I have been having lagging problems with YouTube videos for a number of months now. It simply takes so long for the red bar to completely load and the videos frequently pause and take too long to restart playing again. Even with little 2 and 3 minute videos.
I have a fast computer and my webpages load really, really fast. I have FireFox 4 browser and a Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS. So I don't have a slow computer or web browser. But these slow YouTube vids take way too long to load for some reason.
Does anyone have any idea how I can speed up YouTube?

Hi
The forums are customer to customer in the first instance, Only the mods (BT) will ask for personal information through a email link. Would you mind posting your Hub stats & BT speed test results this will help all with diagnosis-
To post the full stats from your router
for home hub - 192.168.1.254
Navigate to ADSL Settings or use the A-Z at the top right
Click on More Details and then post the results.
Run BT speed tester and post the results from http://speedtester.bt.com/
If possible it would be best to connect to the BT master socket this will rule out any telephone/broadband extension wiring also consider the housing of the hub/router as anything electrical can cause problems as these are your responsibility, if these are found to be the case Openreach (engineer) will charge BT Broadband, which will be passed onto you, around £130.00.
Noisy line! When making telephone calls, if so this is not good for your broadband, you can check-
Quite line test dial 17070 option 2 and listen - should hear nothing best done with old type analogue phone digital (dect) will do but may have slight hiss If you hear noise- crackling pops etc, report it as a noisy line on your phone, don’t mention broadband, Bt Faults on 151.
As for your FTTC its available in some areas between 40% & 80% of customers in enabled areas can receive it!

Problem viewinng YouTube videos

About half the YouTube videos I attempt to watch stop after about 10 seconds, as if viewing has been completed. This doesn't happen all the time; some videos I have no difficulty watching all the way through.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks.

Hi again,
The video runs right thru for me to 3:30, this is while am not logged in.
I will try it logged in as well. This was tried on both Safari 1.3.2 & 2.0.4
and a friend also tried it on his 10.4.8 2.04 Safari

Do you do any maintenance, If you don't have a cleaning Utility this freeware tool OnyX is a good one. This article is very helpful Clearing caches with OnyX make sure to download the correct version for your os] This is liked & used by many in AD as well Cocktail I use OnyX.
For now "Quit" Safari, go to:
HD/Users/your user Home~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist file move it to the trash
HD/Users/your user Home~/Library/Caches/Safari cache folder place that on your desktop, you may want to put it back if this does not help, it would then over write the newly created one. Personally I would trash it.
Now do a restart, & restart once again.
When booted back up,
Run Disc Permissions Repair with the disk utility look at this article if you are not sure Travis A.'s Regular Maintenance/General Troubleshooting about running them.
If all that does not help please try a test account if you would.

Problem loading Youtube videos

Hy...starting from yesterday I had a problem with loading Youtube videos, the site works but when I try to watch a video it looks like it skips to the end and I'm not really sure what is wrong with it

Problem Viewing Youtube videos (skipping and stopp...

Hi there,
everytime i go to watch a youtube video the video will do one of a variety of things.
1. The video never plays it will just show the buffering ring
2. Videos that are short i.e. 30 seconds or so will start to play 1 or 2 seconds then skip straight to the end
3. The video plays fine and then pauses repeatedly
4. The video starts to play and somewhere during the video it skips right back to the start and plays from the beginning again.
As you can imagine these problems are persistant and extremely annoying to say the least. I would be very appreciative if anyone could offer any advice to sort these problems out. I have bt Infinity (if that makes any difference)
Cheers
Ru

I have a problem with youtube video's.

Hello,
Recently this problem keeps occuring.
Whenever I "watch" youtube video's they load for a while and then just jump back and are stuck there and keep giving this loading icon.
I did a Format C a while ago to re-install Mountain Lion and it still occurs...
I also tried re-installing flash player, does anyone have any idea what to do?
I'm a new OS X user and I love my macbook pro, but this is something I really don't understand while it's doing it.

I know you said you reinstalled flash player but try again
Uninstall adobe Flash player and re install and check the settings

Problem with Youtube videos loading...

I have had problems with Youtube since I have gotten my new Mac in November. (My old Mac would play them fine.) The videos will start loading and then stop. If I want to continue trying to watch a video I have to move the button around on the bottom to the right, and then back to the left. This does not always work though. The thing is, though, that it works at my school's campus. Just not at my house. However, I can watch Youtube videos on my mom's Sony Vaio. What can I do?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
YouTube streams some video content using the Flash Player plugin. Try uninstalling then reinstalling a new copy of the plugin.
Uninstall Flash
Install Flash
Then Disk Permissions
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and *restart your Mac.*

Problems viewing Youtube videos

Hi. I have a newbie question and my english is not very good. Do I have to change the flashplayer to view the videos of this channel correctly. Geldanlage Finanzberater - YouTube
As I know chrome uses flashplayer, right?
Thanks in advance

Well, tried several things.
Used AMDDrivertest (or something like that) to detect whether the most recent drivers for the videocard, which seems to be okay.
Then, tested again (to be sure) if youtube video's played well when Shockwave Flash was deactivated. Yes it did.
So I deinstalled Flash, and rebooted pc.
Then downloaded and installed a quite old version of Shockwave Flash (11.6.8.638) and yes, youtube video's played well. But, then again, of course, the tv-site didn't work, for it needs the newest Flash player.
So, uninstalled the flash again, debooted.
Then, downloaded and installed the Shockwave Flash version as I have on my laptop, which is 11.9.900.170.
And ... youtube vid's did'nt work again.
And... the tv-site does work. :-|
I looked into the processes which could be related to Adobe Reader or Acrobat, (I have Creative Cloud) and stopped all those.
Still no changes.
So, for now, I don't know what else I could do, other than watch youtube only at my laptop :-) (better for my workflow I guess :-)
Could it be something with Creative Cloud? Seems to me it couldnt' for I stopped those processes. I don't use that on my desktop.
Still very strange.
The only thing I can think of theres' some kinda bug in the latest Shockwave versions.
I remember I had the same version as on my laptop installed before this one, then the problem started, and because of that I updated to the 12.0.0 43 version.

Problem streaming YouTube videos

I have 3 Macs: a Mini, an iMac and a MacBook Pro. My Mini is connected to a large screen tv. Sometimes, especially in the evenings from 7-10 pm, I get interruptions with YouTube video streaming on the Mini. I have no problems with either the iMac or the Pro. The Mini sits just a little to the front of the tv. Could the tv itself be interfering with the stream or is the problem something else. Any ideas on what could affect the streaming?

If you are using wifi to connect the Mini to the ethernet, it is probably getting a weaker connection than your other Macs.
Both the iMac and the MacBook Pro have stronger antennas than the Mini.
Sometimes making slight changes in the the Mini's placement can make a big difference in Wifi signal strength.
The Mini may also be farther from your router than the other Macs, which would impact signal strength via Wifi.
If you have the option of using ethernet cable to the Mini, that would give the best internet connection.

Problems uploading Youtube videos

I want to upload a youtube video, but I get a Communication Error (timed out). I'm connected to the internet, and I had this problem yesterday. Does anyone have this problem too and know how to fix it?

G'day mate I have this problem with some of my videos too. I'm actually trying to upload a video now that I had removed a photoshop photo that I use for the the start of the video. Hopefully it will work.
A few other steps I would take would be
*Change the name of your project make it simple and short
*Try cutting out unnecessary transitions
*Change photos or stills that you are using in the program
*Try moving the project into another folder or new one
*Maybe try creating a youtube account just to test
The next step I'll be taking after those I'll ring Apple care for some help if any.
Hope one of those will resolve your problem.
Cheers,
Simon

Problems viewing Youtube videos when Adobe Reader is installed

Hi,
Since I installed Adobe Reader XI there are some issues viewing Youtube videos. The videos stop playing after about 2 seconds, or go back to zero.
First I tried to deactivate all plugins in Firefox (which I normally use; I also tried to play the videos in IE, but that didn't work as well).
Then activated one by one.
I use Windows 8.1 (had the same issue on Windows 8).
I got a Windows message, saying there is a problem with my videocard, from [date].
That same day I installed Adobe Reader XI.
So, I deinstalled it, and everything worked fine again.
Today I installed Adobe Reader XI (11.0.05, Dutch) and yoohoo, back to the same issue again: videos stop after 1 or 2 seconds.
Is this a known Adobe issue?

Well, tried several things.
Used AMDDrivertest (or something like that) to detect whether the most recent drivers for the videocard, which seems to be okay.
Then, tested again (to be sure) if youtube video's played well when Shockwave Flash was deactivated. Yes it did.
