Can't open video on the web

Whenever i try to play video on the Guardian website, a message pops up saying something like"cannot play this video on this phone ".I've tried both UC browser and IE but it doesn't work. What's wrong and what do I do to fix this? I use Nokia Lumia 620.

Not all video sites are supported. Some sites still use the obsolete Adobe Flash which is no longer even supported by its own developer Adobe.  You will need to contact the site owners and request they update to html5 instead.

  • HT201177 I can't play videos on the web - they just stall - stop and start.

    when I am playing videos on the web, Vimeo for example, they play for about one or two seconds and stall.  Then they play another one or two seconds and so on for the entire video.  I have no means of changing the download size in safari preferences.  I am at a loss what to do.  i know of no-one else with this difficulty and the Microsoft laptop on the same broadband router dos not have this problem.

    Empty the Cache, and you can also try the RE-SET Safari option from the menu-bar.
    Let us know if anything changes.

  • Can't see video one the web,  YouTube works fine.

    HI,
    Using Safari I can't see video, In CNN I get the message that Apple restrict the use of Flash Player, but in other sites, which do not use Flash player I can't see the video as well, for example- http://harim.tv/default.asp?categoryid=0&videoid=317&srchq=&page=1 . The same problem in different pages having video attached, in the window of the video there is a cube shape.
    Is there an add-on to Safari that has to be installed to make it working?
    I would like to add, YouTube is working fine.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    What Video Codec are Your material formatted as ?
    And the problematic Video sequence - Same Video Codec ?
    Open each original movie sequense in QuickTime player
    then press cmd+I (or open Inspector) and read
    - Video formatted as : nnnnnnnnnnnnn
    - Frames per second : YY.yy
    What does they say for the material that works - AND for the movie that are troublesome ?

  • Can't stream video from the web

    My iPad cannot stream videos from Safari web sites except when I am in the same room as the modem and router. I am not talking about flash, I mean videos it should be able to stream.
    I use an Arris modem from Comcast with a Time Machine in the same room. I have an Airport Express in another room to extend wireless coverage.
    If I start a video in the "time machine room" it will load and I can then leave and the video will play. If I try to start it in another room it will not load properly.
    I tried a test, streaming the same video to my iBook, my iPhone and my iPad - from a non "time machine room" in my house. No problem with the iBook or iPhone. The video played with no problems. No go with the iPad.
    Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? I am getting a strong Wi Fi signal.

    HI Deanna,
    Try resetting the network settings on your iPad.
    Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
    That will restore to factory default.
    Restart your iPad, restart your Mac.
    If that doesn't help, try changing the Airport channel.
    Select the device you’re setting up on the left and then click Manual Setup. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
    Choose a new channel from the Channel pop-up menu.
    If that doesn't help, go to /Library/Preferences. Move all the files in the System Configuration folder to the Trash, and restart your Mac.
    Try streaming again.
    If I try to start it in another room it will not load properly.
    Also, check out the Airport Express online manual *page 41* for: *Items that can cause interference*

  • How can I download videos from the web using Firefox?

    I have used Cometbird as my internet browser for almost a year, but a few friends told me that Firefox is better, so I downloaded Firefox to give it a try. Unfortunately, I am experiencing a problem -> I can find no option that allows me to download videos from websites, using Firefox. With Cometbird, when I'm on a website page that offers videos, all I have to do is right click and Cometbird automatically finds any available media and allows me to download it. With Firefox, when I right click, the only viable option is to, "save the page", which doesn't allow playback of the video after saving it. Confused, I went to a Firefox page that explained to me about "add-ons", and, after looking through some of the add-ons available, I downloaded one labeled, "download helper" and followed the tutorial exactly, yet still, I was not able to download any videos. This forces me to ask two questions -> #1) Why would Firefox make available an add-on labeled, "download helper" that doesn't download anything? ....... #2) Why would Firefox not include the option to download videos from websites? ------- The internet was invented for the sole purpose of sharing information; The only way to retrieve this information is to download it; The most popular form of information downloaded is videos; Yet, with Firefox, the ability to perform the most widely used method, of the most popular form of entertainment, is not included with its internet browser. This would be comparable to a grocery store not selling bread, milk or eggs. Please explain.......

    Some videos will allow downloading.
    I use Safari, and when I right-mouse click on some videos, there will be an option to download.

  • I can't watch videos from the net...

    i can't open videos from the internet, specifically those from yahoo sports and other sites. sometimes they just will not load, and sometimes i click to open it, and a new folder shows up on my desktop but if i try to open it it says that it cannot be opened because i don't have the right application to do so.

    Sounds like you're trying to view RealPlayer files. Since this program isn't preinstalled on Macs, you have to download it from this site. It also gives you instructions on how to install it.

    In what file type and compression format did you download the YouTube content? I.e., to avoid such issues, you would normally download the source files as content that is natively compatible with your target player or convert incompatible file type/compression format combinations to files that are compatible with your targeted media player.

    My current version of Chrome is having problems, too! It's so annoying. Anyone have any suggestions now? I basically can't view or download any PDFs because of this.
    Does anyone else think this is a problem not only with Adobe? I would think Apple would have something to do with this? Wouldn't they get some idea from the developer versions that no browser can open PDFs while running Lion!? Pretty bad customer service on the part of a company that prides itself on being VERY customer-friendly. Wouldn't you say?
