IPod Touch can't play Internet videos

I was using my iPod touch fine last night to watch videos on the Internet. Then suddenly it kept coming up with a big page of confusing writing which looked a bit like computer code whenever I tried to load a video. On the BBC's iplayer the video does not load at all. However I can watch YouTube videos an there is no problems with them. This only happens on Safari. I have tried other web browsers from the app store and they are fine.
I have cleared cookies, history, cache in safari settings, restarted, checked for updates, recharged it. The only thing left is to try a restore but I have a lot of FAA on my iPod so dont want to do this yet.
Has anyone else had the same problem or know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

How would I know how much credit to give you?
Sometimes the most advanced users overlook a setting or two.
This same advice has helped many posters and may help some of the others that have been involved with this very post.
If you assume that everyone has tried everything, then there would be very few answers provided on the forum.

  • My ipod touch can´t play some music any more

    my ipod touch can´t play some music any more. iTunes don´t transfer it to my ipod touch but the capacity is taken. Can someone help me please?

    My problem is a bit different, but I suspect not really unrelated. With very few exceptions, my entire music library on my iPod Touch is mixed up since updating to iOS 5. Albums display with incorrect album artwork, and contents of the albums is a jumbled mix of unrelated songs (could be any song from my library). And they won't play. The library is fine on my computer.
    I removed all of the music from the iPod, then re-synched it with no improvement.
    I also removed all apps other than those that come with the iOS, thinking it may be an incompatibility. Also no improvement.
    My next attempt was going to be restoring to original settings, but it sounds like folks have tried that with no luck.
    I hope Apple is reading these posts and looks into what sounds like a myriad of issues with the new iOS!

  • Why can't iPod Touch 2nd Generation play html5 video?

    I have just upgraded my 2nd iPod Touch's OS 3.1.3 to iOS4, but it can't play html5 video on iPad-ready sites like (http://tv.robbreport.com/). My iPhone 3GS and iPad can play html5 videos on this website smoothly.

    I'd like to report further that after changing the wallpaper the iPod Touch has somehow stopped being able to play either video or audio.

  • IPod Touch-can you deactivate Internet?

    Good morning all you experts!
    Quick question: Is there a way to somehow de-activate Internet access on an iPod Touch? My nephew wants one but my sil doesn't want him accessing wi-fi all over the place. Can you use the Touch without the Internet? Remove it? Lock it? Any and all answers will be greatly appreciated!!
    TIA

    There are parental control settings on the iPod touch.
    If you go into Settings > General > Restrictions you can turn off :-
    Songs with Explicit lyrics from being played (if they are bought from iTunes)
    Safari - no internet access
    YouTube - no YouTube access
    iTunes - Stop purchases
    Installing Apps - prevents the installation of applications

  • IPhone/iPod Touch can't play movies placed into wiki

    I have been testing the wiki services on our new Leopard Servers and have come up against a really annoying problem I cannot view movies placed into wiki pages using our iPhones and iPod Touch systems. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    I have posted the same issue. They did work prior to the 2.0 upgrade.
    We are getting some javascript errors that I think are pointing towards the problem.

  • Can I play home video on my ipod touch?

    Can I play home video on my ipod touch?

    So, the only way to watch home video in ipod touch is via itunes? Because in fact i'm trying to use my ipod touch as a video monitor for my DSLR camera while i use it for filming. I thought i could use the hdmi adapter for ipod touch, but everyone tells me that it might not be possible, so i wont buy it without knowing if it is possible or not. I wonder if it is phisicaly possible, so all we would need for that is someone to develop a softare to use the hdmi adapter to watch a video into an ipod. I say this because my camera has a hdmi video out, but it could be with simple RCA cables too. Someone think it is possible?

  • Ipod touch can no longer tilt while playing Temple Run or Back Breaker Football

    IPOD Touch can no longer tilt while playing Temple Run or Back Breaker Football or any game where you need to control the tilt or turn.

    Managed to finally factory reset the unit (see my other post).
    Should be OK now.

  • My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

    My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

    I would try in oreder:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    Automatically Syncing my 3rd Gen IPod Touch, All my music and videos show in the device on iTunes, but when I look at the device itself, it say no content.  Can someone help?  The Apps seem to sync fine, just not the music, videos, podcasts, or audiobooks.

    Change your iCloud ID password: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5624.  After doing so, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new password.

  • I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook

    I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook.
    When using Sarfari or Google Chome, I am unable to play some videos on the internet. News clips, posted videos on blogs, and tv episodes from their own network websites. Youtube videos are fine. I doesn't make sense.
    I tried downloading an update for quicktime, but the computer claims that quicktime is up to date. Yet, the videos and tv episodes don't play.
    I have checked for the most recent software updates, and everything is up to date. Nothing is wrong with the hardware either.
    Any suggestions would be awesome! Thank you!

    In addition to Flash, you might need some other plugins.  Microsoft videos are mostly in Silverlight, and you'll want Flip4Mac to play WMVs.  Perian contains codecs for pretty much every video online.
