Embedded Youtube videos stopped working...

hi all
i've got a problem with a Flash website that has been driving me crazy.
i have a Flash website that was built for us in late 2009, it uses ActionScript 2 and i have been maintaining it in CS3 on a Mac.
the site is structured as a heirarchy of swf files, and loads XML files to specify text content, image locations, and Youtube videos.
all this has worked fine until sometime in the past month or two. the problem now is that the embedded Youtube videos no longer load, although nothing has changed in the code. unfortunately i don't know exactly when the videos stopped loading.
in the Activity Window of Safari i can see the URLs for the Youtube crossdomain file (http://i1.ytimg.com/crossdomain.xml), Youtube still for the video, and the Youtube player (http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swfbin/cps-vfl2P81QA.swf). however neither the still frame nor the player skin load.
if i run the site directly from my hard drive (with my Flash Player security preferences set to allow the swf to access the internet), the videos do load and play, so i am guessing that it is some kind of security domain issue.
if i run the site in Flash CS3 in debug mode, when i navigate to a video page, although the video loads and plays, i get lots of these warnings (i've edited the path and file name):
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
SecurityDomain 'http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swfbin/cps-vfl2P81QA.swf' tried to access incompatible context 'file:///pathname/site.swf'
i think the solution is probably fairly simple, however i don't know enough about ActionScript to figure it out...
any help would be much appreciated!

i should add that the same thing happens on three different servers, on Safari or Firefox, and on Windows or Macs, so it seems pretty likely that it is a change in either Youtube embedding or Flash Player that has broken the embedding...
it's been doing my nut in that i can't find any reports of similar problems on the interwebs...

  • Embedded Youtube videos not working on Chrome 23 / Flash player 11.5.31.2

    For the past couple of weeks, I've not been able to play any Youtube videos that appear as embedded videos on other websites.  The small player appears with the still frame from the video and all the controls, but on pressing play, the video goes blank and won't play (the slider stays stuck at 0:00).  Nor does the full screen button work - the player just stays where it is within the third party website.  This problem has occurred across more than one website, but all sites still work in Internet Explorer.
    The main Youtube site is still working.
    I have tried all relevant steps here, to no avail (except increasing memory for a particular website, since not just one website is affected):
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html

    Flash Player 11,5,31,2
    Any suggestions please?

    Thank your for your reply, Chris.
    I installed the newest version of Chrome, and the videos I have
    embedded on my blog are now working.

  • My youtube videos stopped working this week.  Nothing else has changed.  I am using the lastest software on my iphone 5s

    My Youtube videos stopped working on my iphone 5s.  I have the latest updates on the phone and deleted and reinstalled the Youtube app.  Didn't work.

    I had major issues using VPN passthrough with PPTP on the RV180W through a PPPoE internet connection. In the end I gave up - I think there are some PPTP servers that the RV180 just has trouble with.  I had no problems with 3 other routers straight out the box. Unfortunately I lost access to the VPN server before Cisco could fix.
    See thread:
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2174283?tstart=0
    Its interesting that it used to work and now doesn't - maybe Verizon or the VPN server have had configuration changes?  Or maybe your antivirus has created a different profile for the different router - would be worth temporarily disabling any firewal/antivirus?
    It would be good to try a different non-Verizon router if you can get your hands on one to see if Verizon network changes now require special features/settings on the router.

  • Embedded videos and youtube videos stopped working since last update. Any clues

    All video functions on my IMac have stopped working since updates on Saturday. Videos embedded in web page and on youtube have stopped working.

    Assuming you are using Safari ...
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
    Back to Safari. Press Command + Option + E to empty the Safari cache.
    Quit and relaunch Safari, try a video.

  • Embedded YouTube videos not working

    Hello,
    Embedded YouTube videos used to work fine up until a few days ago but they have stopped working in all browsers. I use Safari, Firefox and Netscape Navigator.
    I am using Mac OS X (10.6.3) and have just conducted a software update and installed a fresh version of flash. This can't be a browser problem because it is not working on any of the browsers. I am having problems viewing embedded YouTube videos on such sights as Blip.fm, Facebook, etc but they used to work fine a couple of weeks ago.
    Is this a problem with flash? or Mac OS X?

    Another me too. In particular the symptoms are this:
    + any YouTube video embedded within a webpage loads the poster frame and the controls, but after clicking the play button only shows the progress indicator briefly before showing "An error occurred, please try again later." within the video frame.
    + the same YouTube videos play fine on the YouTube site.
    + other Internet video plays fine, embedded or not.
    + when the error occurs Safari reports "One error in opening the page. For more information, choose Window > Activity".
    + the Activity window shows "forbidden" for http://v13.lscache4.c.youtube.com/videoplayback?ip=0.0.0.0&sparams=id%2Cexpire%2 Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Calgorithm%2Cburst%2Cfactor%2Coc%3AU0dWSVhMVV9FSkNNNl9QRllH &fexp=900028&algorithm=throttle-factor&itag=34&ipbits=0&burst=40&sver=3&expire=1 274817600&key=yt1&signature=C15947474FA80C9A1B9DA597103C5FF7D621A478.0C1490DE456 5D519F602B0043A4E1F9D800417A0&factor=1.25&id=c3e8886e8b459334
    + the same URL downloads fine when visiting YouTube directly, except the signature value is different.
    I have tested the following:
    + the same computer worked fine a week or so ago
    + other computers on the same shared ADSL connection work fine
    + Firefox works fine (contrary to other's experiences)
    + deleting com.apple.Safari.plist doesn't help
    + disabling/enabling the "Enable Plug-ins" preference doesn't help
    + deleting Preferences/Macromedia folder doesn't help
    + reinstalling Flash doesn't help
    + empty cache doesn't help
    Tis quite perplexing.

  • Embedded Youtube videos not working in Chrome or Firefox?

    I have embedded some YouTube videos into Lightbox widgets and they play fine on IE and Safari but not on Chrome or Firefox. The poster of video shows but you can't click on it. Didn't know if Java Script was required but have it enabled on all Browsers.

    Hello,
    Could you please provide us a link where we can check the issue.
    You can also try Right clicking on the added HTML code>Arrange>Bring to Front and see if it resolves your issue.

  • After Flash Player, the youtube videos stop working after 1st second.

    Hi guys,
    I have a couple of Dell pc's with win7 professional 64bit.
    Some of them on IE10 and other's on IE11.
    The thing is after the installation of the latest Flash Player version, the videos on YouTube stop after the 1st second.
    If I remove the Flash Player the YouTube works fine.
    Anyone have the same problem?
    Regards
    Ricardo Rebelo

    Hi again,
    I found the "source" of the issue, the pc's don't have speakers, so after I plug in some headphones the YouTube run without problems.
    So there is any way to configure Flash Player to do not search for "playback devices"? 
    Regards

  • Embedded YouTube videos don't work on Safari on the iPhone.

    Sometime after June 15, 2013, embedded YouTube videos stopped working on web pages on Safari on the iPhone (iOS6).   They work on Safari on the Mac and they work in the iOS YouTube app.   I see the preview frame and the play button, but when clicking the play button, the frame goes black and nothing ever plays.    This worked up until 6/15 and the pages haven't changed.      Did Apple do something to stop them from working on the iPhone recently?

    You may have turned off an option in Flash preferences to not allow sites to store Flash cookies on your machine. Some videos made in Flash and served from third-party (non-YouTube) pages expect to be able to store Flash cookies, so the videos may not work with this Flash option turned off.
    Go to [https://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html Flash Global Storage Settings Panel] which is served from Adobe/Macromedia's site and check the "Allow third-party Flash content..." box, and the box for "Store common Flash components..." where you can then manage sites you have already visited. You'll have to reload the video page after you change this setting.
    Also, leave site feedback on those sites where you experienced the problems encouraging them to use HTML5 for serving video content instead of the proprietary Flash format.

  • Dreamweaver CS6: Embedding Youtube Video causes DW to stop responding

    HI,
    I'm trying to build a simple site that displays an embedded youtube video on the main page. The video is placed in a div tag that is placed in a specific spot on the page background to make it appear as if it's playing on an old PC that's part of the image. I paste the code into the div tag in the code view and it appears as a grey box in design view. Everything seems fine up to there, however when I click live view DW CS6 stops responding and the design view window goes white. I've tried pasting the video embed code into my other page, and into a blank html document to see if it was a problem with the rest of the code but the same thing happens on any of the pages. If I save the page and preview in Chrome or Firefox the page displays the windows loading cursor for a few minutes and then returns a youtube error 6 (ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).
    I spent a few hours researching and found nothing via Google searches, Adobe help or Lynda.com tutorials. I'm new to web design and CSS and got as far as I did through Lynda.com lessons. Which is to say I have an index page and a seperate game guide page that links back and forth displaying images and text exactly as I'd like. Everything else works well enough only the video embedding is giving me trouble which is frustrating because according to everything I've read it's supposed to be one of the simplest processes.
    I'm really at a loss as to how to fix this issue and would appreciate any help the Adobe community can give me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Good to know,
    I fixed the problem but I'm not exactly sure why this worked. I went to a different site that uses Youtube hosted videos and tried their embed code which appeared the same to my untrained eye. But to my surprise this other video worked perfectly, so I just put the url for my video in and it worked. I'm not sure why, as far as I can tell both embed codes are the same. Both use <iframe> tags. But it works now, suffice to say I've gained some respect for the people who do this stuff day to day.

  • This animation will not work, neither does embeded youtube videos

    So this site https://www.navo.navy.mil/cgi-bin/animate.pl/metoc/74/84/0-0-17/0 animation does
    not work (in either FF or Safari on mac, works great on any browser on xp).
    Anyone know why???
    Also, if I try to look at a embeded youtube video it shows a black screen unless I scroll so that the
    video is partially blocked (top or bottom).
    Anyone?

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • Safari stop playing embedded youtube videos

    Hi
    I am having trouble with Safari 4.0.5 (6531.22.7) which suddenly refuse to play embedded youtube videos. Safari show the video in a web page but when played the youtube default play display "an error occurred, please try again." and Safari display in the status bar "one error in opening the page, for more information, choose Window->Activity". Now when I look in the activity window it show "forbidden" beside the video file.
    Strangely I can play the same video from the youtube main page without any errors.
    I have already done the following:
    - checked permissions with Disk Utility.
    - Reset Safari
    - Empty caches
    - Removed com.apple.Safari.plist
    - Uninstalled, re-Installed Flash plug-in
    but the problem still persist. Help in resolving will be highly appreciated.

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    YouTube streams content using the Flash plugin ... Flash Player support on 64-bit operating systems
    Since you are running Snow Leopard, *try running Safari is opening in 32-bit mode, not 64*. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) *make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*
    

Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
    bpageIcons.db to the Trash.*

  • Embedded youtube videos from accordion panel

    I'm trying to get embedded youtube videos to pop in from accordion panel
    the accordion panel would have the 'titles' with descriptions displayed when clicked on, and there in the description would be a link to make the embedded youtube clip appear beside the panel.
    go to each accordion panel selection and get a different embedded video to play.
    anybody know if that can be done and how ?

    Thank you for the suggestion,
    I already did try that, but didn't work.
    However after watching your swf, I figured out I must have had the wrong 'aspects' active when I was putting my embedded code in, so the results were all over the place.
    So I tried it again by your steps, and it does work, -- thankyou !  -- except for one thing.
    If the watcher does not finish or stop or pause one video before playing another, both videos are playing, even though one of them is 'hidden' in the closed panel, which is ok if there's no audio, however if they both have audio, the audio track of both play back.
    Darn, I don't think most people would realize if they don't finish a video before watching another, they have to manually stop the currently playing video before playing another.
    Even if I was to include instructions to say so.  :-(

  • Cannot see embedded Youtube videos; I get a black screen

    So, embedded Youtube videos suddenly stopped working. I can still watch videos on the Youtube website just fine. Making an embedded video fullscreen also allows me to see it. I have seen an answer on another thread asking to try Safe Mode. Interestingly, disabling every add-on and plugin (besides Flash and Shockwave) does not fix the issue, but using Safe Mode, which theoretically does the same thing, fixes it :S
    The embeds are black screen, and when I hover the mouse over them I see the Refresh and HD buttons, but not the Youtube icon on the lower right. Clicking the lower right area still brings me to the Youtube website, so the button still works, just isn't visible. Reinstalling Waterfox and using a new profile do not fix the issue.
    I can't test the issue on Firefox because it has a long-standing problem of the Flash Player crashing constantly every second, which rendered it unusable and is the reason I switched to Waterfox in the first place (in which Flash does not crash).
    The troubleshoot information with all Waterfox add-ons disabled (which again, doesn't fix the issue, despite Safe Mode fixing it) can be seen by navigating to the "More system details" on the menu to the right.
    Thanks!

    I had disabled hardware accel in Waterfox and it didn't fix the embeds, but doing so in Firefox fixed them for Waterfox! Odd. It didn't fix the constant Flash Player crashing, though. Thanks for solving the embeds!

  • Embedded YouTube videos not playing in Safari OS X

    Hello
    Recently, I've had trouble playing embedded videos (for example on tumblr or on Laughing Squid).  I can see the space the YouTube box is meant to be in, but it's blank.  I can play them on YouTube though.  This started before the Yosemite update.
    I use AdBlock but it happens whether it's on or off.  I've updated my Flash, cleared my Flash and Safari cache but to no avail.
    This happens both on my MacBook Air and on my desktop, both running Yosemite and fully updated Flash etc.
    Does anyone know if this is a widespread bug or if I can fix it easily?
    Thank you!

    Ok, I fixed it. Go to some embedded Flash video, click to run and then right click to get Global Settings for Flash. Go into Storage and make sure you aren't blocking any data from being stored on your computer. At the very least choose the "ask me" setting. (For good measure I also went into Advanced and clicked to Delete All Data associated with Flash. But when I restored Block for data storage the videos stopped working, so that seems to be the answer.) I'd be interested to hear if this works for others.
