My Embedded YouTube Video Doesn't Work in Safari

Hi everyone,
I have a YouTube video in my site that works in Firefox but does not in Safari. I have been searching everywhere for an answer. I upgraded my Flash, changed the tags, title and description of my video... still nothing. The message I get when I try to play my video is "Sorry this video is no longer available." The strange thing is, the video works in Safari when I play it through YouTube.
What is going on here? Any help is appreciated!!
Bettina

We got this worked out via email.
For anyone reading this and experiencing the same problem, it turns out that the issue has to do with private YouTube videos, which won't play when embedded in a web page unless it's your video (or you have permission to view that particular video) and you happen to be logged into your YouTube account in that web browser.

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.

Update fails and Embedded Youtube videos doesn't load

Problem 1: All update (beta, RC) fails in my computer. After download, when I click in apply button, Firefox closes and a process "firefox.exe"starts with (~2.800 kB) and nothing happens. Every time and every versions in my 2 computers (Vista and Seven). It occurs since ~10 version (9, 10, 11... i don't remember.
When I download the exe from Mozilla, the update works.
Problem 2: Since the ~10 version or flash version, mostly embedded youtube videos doesn't load in firefox (in all pcs again). In youtube site it works, but embedded only shows a black square. In Google Reader it occurs all the time.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version of the Firefox installer.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 15.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Sound on iPad Mini for youtube videos doesn't work

iPad mini will play youtube videos just fine, but no sound. When accessed through facebook app, video tube, no sound. When accessed through YouPlayer, sound works fine. All other system sounds/music/etc fully functional. Nothing is muted, all volume controls that I can find are up.
Any ideas?

Obviously a problem with those apps then.
You can try this:
Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

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.

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!

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.

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.

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
Details:
Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit
Google Chrome 23.0.1271.64 m
Flash Player 11,5,31,2
Any suggestions please?
John

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.

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...

AirPlay fails on embeded youtube video (livestream) from New iPad to Latest gen AppleTV.

Hello,
I just purchased a new Apple Tv (03/24/2014) and tried to airplay an embeded youtube video from Safari and Chrome on my iPad and received an error. Airplay is working fine from the youtube app, and other apps as well. I've done some poking around and wasn't able to find any concrete answers as to why it's not working. Apparently this used to work prior to sometime in August (not sure exactly when) of 2013. Any helo would be much appreciated are this is one of the main reasons I purchased the Apple Tv.

Hi IntroMike.
Take a look at this URL in the XBMC forum.
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=179961&page=36
This discusses the issue you are seeing. It seems to be specific to the Youtube app and some embeded videos.
There is no known solution at this time apparently.

Embedded Flash videos don't work

Since updating Firefox to 36, embedded Flash videos don't work. HTML5 and Flash videos on YouTube work fine. I have Click-To-Play enabled (disabling it didn't help too), but instead of a grey area with the message I just see a black area where the video is supposed to be. Does anyone else have this problem?

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:
* see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers
'''https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration'''
* disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

Embedded youtube videos will no longer play in Powerpoint 2010

Since upgrading to Flashplayer 11, I can no longer play embedded youtube videos in powerpoint 2010. I get the error message that I have to upgrade Flashplayer. I have performed several clean installs, yet I continue to get the same error message stating that I have to upgrade Flashplayer. How do I correct this?

i know right here is one fix if u got 2010 powerpoint youtube did some changes thats not compatable with it . 1 way around it that might work for you is within the use old embeded code were it says version=3 change it # into 2 insted of 3. do this in both appeareances.
example <object width="1280" height="720"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1rcqwRgVvvw?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1rcqwRgVvvw?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="1280" height="720" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
change the #3 to the #2 thats it. then paste it in your powerpoint insert video from web.

Embedded Youtube video is not playing in PDF while it is playing in Adobe Content Viewer - Indesign CC

Hi,
as a newby to DPS with Indesign CC, I'm currently working on a catalog that contains internal jumlinks and embedded youtube video's.
All works fine in preview (Folio Overlay > Preview on desktop).
Then I export to Adobe PDF (Interactive).
When I open the PDF the internal links work just fint.
But the Youtube video is not popping up.
To embed the video I've inserted this code: <iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6EXxtnTOnqA?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" ></iframe>
And I've selected 'autoplay' in the Folio Overlays
So what am I missing here?
Thanks for you help,
Dimitri

Hi Bob,
Like I said I'm a Newby, I even don't really understand what you mean with this.
I'm working in de Digital Publishing toolset (I thought that was DPS).
I use Folio Overlays over the embedded youtube code, with autoplay on.
Than I export to PDF interactive, but neither Adobe reader, nor Preview is showing the vid.

Embedded Youtube Video's not Playing in Web Viewer

I have several YouTube videos embedded in my folios. They all play fine when being viewed in the app, but if the folio is shared (by any channel) and viewed in the web viewer these videos won't play. Instead the user is greeted by this error:
Not found
Invalid character in path
I know that other apps using embedded youtube videos are playing just fine in the web viewer (I check out Wired) so I'm curious why mine are broken.
Any thoughts?

This streaming YouTube example works fine in DPS Tips web viewer:
http://contentviewer.adobe.com/s/DPS%20Tips/7f80a0ffed3a4ff08734bc905aac4a29/Advanced_Over lays/29_Video_Stream.html
Here's the embed code I used:
<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/QV1UZ-88HeE?rel=0" frameborder="0" ></iframe>
Are you using the same embed code format for your overlay?

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.
