If I accept cookies, I am unable to see videos in YouTube

Yesterday I upgraded Firefox from version 3.6.13 to version 3.6.14 on two different machines (both of which use Windows XP). And then a very strange thing happened: after that I am unable to see YouTube videos. I can see hear the sound but there is no image (there is a white space instead). Furthermore, this only happens when I am a regular user, not an administrator. And it happens only with YouTube. The only way I found to fix the problem was to delete all YouTube cookies and to block any new ones. Then all works fine.

If you've an answer that works, that's fine. Problem may occur for various reasons, including flash problems and video drivers requiring updating.
As a temporary workaround hovering your cursor over the place where the pop-out button should be below the YouTube video screen, then left click there and the video will then display in the pop-out screen.

Flash 11.7.700.202 - reports of unable to see video

We run a social video site and have had many reports of users unable to see video in the last few days. Our code has not changed and we believe this is due to the 11.7.700.202 release as these problems were not previously reported.
Symptoms:
User is subscribing via rtmfp to a live stream on an Adobe FMS. When this happens, we don't know if they fail to connect or the connect succeeds and they don't see video. We use an inhouse flash app. The feed is available on the FMS since other users are successfully subscribing to the same feed.
This happens to a small percent of users but that leads to many reports across our user base.
Refreshing the page, which reinstantiates the flash app, removes the problem.
Is anyone else seeing problems with viewing video from the newly updated flash player?
Thank you,
Robert

We found the problem and it is on our side, not a problem with the flash upgrade. I'll write what happened here in case it can help anyone else.
On Sunday night, two days after this post, one of our FMSs stopped accepting RTMFP publishes. When we examined the box we found that it was reporting that it had reached its max licensed RTMFP connections. We know there weren't that number of connections on there and suspect that connections leaked. After restarting the box, the FMS resumed accepting RTMFP publishes. This failure has never happened to us before so we're treating it as a one-off and not investigating.
Since the restart of that FMS, reports of subscribe failures have disappeared. That's great and we're presuming the restart fixed the subscribe failures. The strange thing is that users were reporting subscribe failures several days before we observed any publish failures. That said, we know this FMS was in a strange state so we concluded our investigation.
Thanks to Chris for the quick response on this.

Unable to upload video to YouTube

I have tried twice to upload a video to YouTube. It is a short video, 7 min 33 sec. I get the error, "Failed (unable to convert video file)". I recently upgraded to Mavericks & iMovie 11 and this is the first time trying to upload since the upgrade. Any suggestons?

Although I believe you when you say it worked after removing tags, I don't think there is a solid cause and effect. The web is loaded with complaints of the iMovie to YouTube upload. It is simply NOT stable. I used iMovie '11 with Mountain Lion and now use the new iMovie 10 with Mavericks. Yes, I said iMovie 10. Apple named it that way. Not me. The iMovie to YouTube upload option is unreliable. We all want to try to narrow it down to a font or a clip or a photo or a title or the duration or the HD resolution etc... In fact, we are wasting our time until Apple works out these issues. I made 20 upload atttempts today. All using an approx 4 minute clip. Trust me. I got "Failed (unable to convert video file)" several times and each time worked to focus on the problem. Nothing was logical. I would add a single photo to a project that had previously worked and it would bomb. I would then delete that photo and it would still fail.

I am unable to watch videos on youtube, it stopped last night. How do I fix this?

We had a storm last night and the power went out for a few seconds. After I started the computer, I tried to watch some videos on Youtube. I have been watching them all the time, but since the power went out I am not able to. It seems to be just on youtube. What do I need to do to correct so that I will be able to view videos on that site?

I have been having the same problem since a browser update a couple of weeks ago. I have tried uninstalling firefox and re-installing it. I have tried updating flash player, reinstalling flash player, re-re-reupdating firefox, even tried to find an alternative flash player (which turned out to simply be another adobe player with a different icon and filename). I have tried clearing cache and cookies.
I can watch videos from any website anywhere except videos hosted on youtube. I know this is not a youtube problem; because, I have not experienced this problem with any other browser.
Using Win7 with intel i5 processor and 6Gb RAM.

I am unable to get videos on Youtube to operate from Firefox. They do work from Internet Explorer. Have tried youtube from Firefox in Safe Mode - SAME PROBLEM!!

Until now I've had no problem getting Youtube videos to show from Firefox. But now I've been unable to watch any videos (or audios) from the Youtube site when browsing in Firefox. When I go Internet Explorer and bring up Youtube the videos/audios play just fine. I've tried doing this under Safe Mode with the same result. No Youtube pictures from the Firefox browser.
I like Firefox but will revert to IE if I have to.

GForce4 MX420-T - Unable to see video on external TV/Monitor/VCR

I am unable to get any watchabe video out via the RCA or S-Video cable from my video card. I do get some garbled rubbish on the screen but it's just the odd bunch of diagonal white lines on a black screen.
I have tried this cable on other devices (Other than the Y adaptor that came with the card) and in the inputs of the divices that i want to watch the PC on and it works.
I have attempted to find a setting in the video card setup/config that allows me to specify the output to S-Video/RCA or PAL/NTSC but I am unable to find any setting like this.
Thanks in advance

I LOVE your Firefox, do you mind if I grab a copy of it?
Go for it, I borrowed it from someone else in the forum. Then I found a bigger picture online. So far I have not found the original person who created it.
With the NVidia drivers, it should work. All you need to do is go into the graphic properties and have it output video to the correct device/cable. You should be able to have it clone the desktop or a second desktop. If it still doesn't work you will probably need to RMA the card.
What is the Y-adapter you mentioned in your first post?
Good Luck
Jeremy
After a bit of googling I extracted this from NVidias site.
1) Right-click on the Desktop and select Properties
2) Left-click on the tab labeled Settings. Then left-click on the Advanced button.
3) This will bring up the Advanced Properties. Left-click on the tab corresponding to the graphcs card that is installed in your PC. For example, if you have a GeforceFX 5800 Ultra graphics card, you will click on the tab labeled "GeforceFX 5800 Ultra". A window will pop up to the left of this panel. From this left side window, select nView Display Mode.
4) You should then see a panel similar to the one above. If you are using a single display video card, left-click the "Current Display" drop down menu and choose "TV". Then click on the "Apply button to confirm the change.
5) If you are using a dual display video card, left-click over the "nView Modes" drop down menu and then select "Clone Mode". Then left-click over the "Display Pair" drop down menu and choose your monitor configuration (i.e. if you are using an analog CRT monitor plus TV, select "Analog Display + TV"). Then select the "Apply button.
6) You should now see the display on your TV. A confirmation window will pop up prompting you to confirm the changes made. Select Yes to keep these settings. Otherwise, the display will revert back to your previous settings.
Hope This Helps

Hi,
Error 7 is when a router or the connection to the router is broken in some way.
Some devices have features such as Denial Of Service protection (DoS) that cut a particular Internet Port when it thinks too much data is coming (Presuming it is an attack.)
iChat 5 in Leopard is not capped by the System Preferences > Quicktime Streaming speed (which we used to suggest was set at 1.5Mbps)
It now sees your whole Connection speed and your Upload may be much faster than this.
Your Download is likely to be much faster. However iChat will tend to operate at the lower figure of your Upload.
DoS features are threshold based.
You may now be bumping in to this Threshold where you were not before.
SPI (Stateful packet Inspection) does a different job but has the same effect when it is overloaded by the speed of the data.
If you have either of these features, turn them Off (Disable them)

Hi axsuri,
Are you able to see other media files on the BlackBerry that are stored on your media card? Can you access these videos on the BlackBerry by opening the Media folder, clicking the Menu key and choosing Explore?

I am unable to play videos on youtube app or in safari ?

Hi,
My son has an ipad mini and for the last year and a half has spent many hours a week watching Minecraft videos on the Youtube app without any problems. About a week ago my son showed me that when trying to play a video via the Youtube app the audio would play fine whereas the video playback is stuttering and completely out of sync with the audio. I thought that it may just be the app so I tried watching a video via safari but it was the same issue. I then thought I would try watching movie trailer from a random website but that wont play smoothly either.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this I would be eternally grateful.

I Would start with something simple and easy to do. Close all apps, and reset the iPad, you will not lose any data.
In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Unable to see videos or music that ive loaded

I've put some music and videos onto the ipad but when i got to view them on the device it shows the library as empty, i plug the ipad back onto the pc and it shows in itunes that the items are on the device, can someone please help....????
I also had the same problem with my iphone 3g.....!!!!
Am I doing something totally stupid...???

My guess is that that the file format of the videos are not supported by the iPad or iPhone. How were the videos created and what is the format. By format I mean the general format such as mp4 as well as frame rate, audio format etc. How to those parameters compare with the iPad supported video format listed Apple's technical specification page for the Ipad.
