Online videos won't play - URL not valid.

When I try to stream videos online with quicktime there's either a Q with a question mark or an alert that says "The URL is not valid."
Any ideas about the problem?

  • TS3274 Videos won't play.  Not YouTube or any other videos.  I also have no sound.  Are these common failures for a three year old gen 2  iPad?

    Videos won't play.  Not YouTube or any other videos (just started today).  I also have no sound, keypad clicks, shutoff click, etc.  Are these common failures for a three year old Gen 2 iPad?

    For the issue with the videos that will no longer work, try closing all apps and then reboot the iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot 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.
    For the issue with sounds, you have system sounds muted.
    Check the side switch above the volume rocker on the side of the iPad. Flip it the other way and see if you get sound from the apps, keyboard clicks, etc.
    If not, double tap the home button to bring up the task bar at the bottom. In the task bar swipe all the way to the right. Look on the far left side and see if there is a speaker icon. If there is, tap it and see if the sounds on apps come back. Then tap the home button.
    You can change how the side switch works to either lock screen rotation or to mute system sounds. You can go to Settings>General>Set Side switch to Lock Rotation or mute. If you choose mute, the switch will turn off apps sounds. Otherwise you use the task bar as described above to mute those sounds.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Online video won't play

    I tried everything and no luck, below are things I did
    1. Check/Update all latest Flash Player, Shockwave Player from adobe.com
    2. Get latest Silverlight (v.5) installed
    3. Latest Jave 7Update60 installed
    and the video still not playing except the commercial. it gave error message 'sorry, clip not found. Media not found'. I clicked OK then it gave me a black screen. This is online video.
    I also tried managing add-on as suggested by adobe to make sure shockwave add-on is enabled and also tried both on and off activeX filter, still not working
    This is a show stopper for my deploying windows 8.1! any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Hi,
    What's the browser do you use? Internet Explorer or Chrome? According to my experience, this problem probably caused by ad block add-ons. Please check if you enable any ad block extension in you system.
    In addition, if you use security software, such as avast, please try to disable them temporarilly for test.

  • Tried yer fixes, videos won't play, browser not working right, chrome works

    When I open firefox, I get a "Do you want to allow...." message and have to click yes. This has been happening to 4 different versions of firefox I have downloaded. Firefox will not play any videos. I've tried all the fixes recommended but they don't work. Any suggestions?

    I notice that you are using this feature:
    *Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

    Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
    Note that these settings affect background images.

  • Music video won't play- quicktime not supported by itunes?

    just purchased music videos from itunes,but when i click on them to play, it says the version of quicktime isn't supported by itunes. i've tried to update quicktime but not sure ive done it right.

    first thing i would do is disable syncing for all of your media that is causing an issue, sync the phone which will delete everything off of it, and then resync everything back.

  • Online video won't play, have tried downloading plugin

    Hi
    I can't seem to figure this out. New MacBookPro, 10.4.10 OS.
    I can't view video at the BBC website, and I can't figure out why. All I see is the jigsaw piece with the cue to download the plugin. I've tried that, have tried updating software just in case, have gone to RealPlayer site and downloaded the free player.
    The only thing I can figure out that it might be, is that the BBC site is configured I think to play on the older version of RealPlayer. The only one that can be downloaded now on the RealPlayer site is the new Beta (that's redundant, isn't it...)
    What do I need to do so that I can view video on the BBC website?
    Thx

    Hi.
    I don't know what version of Real Player you have installed, but try uninstalling it and installing this one.
    I use Real Player in OS X, I can see the BBC video, and it works flawlessly. (I'm using the 10.1.0 (490) version from the above link).
    Good Luck.

  • MailOnline videos won't play in Firefox unless in safe mode although they're fine in Explorer.

    It's for my mum, honest. Firefox 25, java and flash uptodate but the Mail Online videos won't play unless I start Firefox in safemode. A large white rectangle appears but nothing else.

    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

  • Videos won't play in powerpoint when connected to projector

    I've tried to find a solution for my problem online but haven't come across anyone with the same issue. I often work with powerpoint presentations with many videos in it. The videos play just fine on my laptop and also when hooked up to an external monitor, which I use when at work, both in slideshow mode and when previewing my animations. However, when I hook up my mac onto a projector the videos won't play - not on my laptop screen nor on the projected screen. I've tried rearranging the displays by draggin the menu bar to either display and also switched from mirror screens to presenter's view within powerpoint but nothing helped solve the issue. The only solution I found is to play the presentation on my windows partition - which is not really what I'm planning to do for long term...
    I'm using Powerpoint 2011 for mac and this problem has occurred using multiple projectors.
    Any help on how to solve this issue is highly appreciated!

    I had the same problem today in front of an audience with 300 people (MacbookPro OSX 10.10, Thunderbolt-VGA adapter, PPT 14.4.6).
    Here what I figured out so far:
    1. It happens when you have PPT open and connect to beamer afterwards
    2. You can resolve it (in my case) by quitting PPT and launching it WHEN connected to beamer
    3. Yet, make sure Mac does not go into sleep mode or you get a lock-screen in the waiting time. if you do so, you get back to square 1. quit PPT again 2. restart it.
    4. Also.... in one case I had to hit the volume control once to get the sound back even though movie was playing
    So in short: Connect to beamer first, then launch PPT
    I know it is only a symptom fix but it worked for me

  • Videos won't play in any browser

    Just recently, videos won't play in any browser...Safari, Firefox. etc. It seems to happen with .wmv files. I reinstalled media player, but still have the problem.
    I get this message.
    "Cannot open the file. Verify that the path and filename are correct and try again"

    First, check that Windows Media Player is set as the correct plug in - in Safari, go to help/installed plug ins. There should be a section marked 'Windows Media Player' showing 'application/x-mplayer2' and listing wmv files (amongst others).
    Sometimes these arrors are caused by DNS failures. Ensure your system is fully up to date, and enter your ISP's DNS server IP addresses (usually two of them, sometimes three) in the 'DNS servers' box on the TCP page of the Network preference pane.
    The DNS server IPs are usually supplied with the ISP's initial set up documentation, or located on the ISP's help page.
    The reason it could be a problem is that in many iterations of MacOS X, the system is extremely sensitive to how quickly a DNS search responds. DNS is the process whereby a user-provided URL is converted into the correct IP address for internet lookup, so if the video source is held on a different server and the DNS process doesn't return a valid IP address in time, you would then get an error of the sort you describe.

  • You tube app videos won't play no more just a spinning wheel.

    You tube app videos won't play no more just a spinning wheel. I've deleted history and data stuff and tried rebooting but still the same. Please help.

    Are you using the YouTube app or Safari?
    Could be the videos are Flash based, which Safari can't display.
    Adobe has not made a version of Flash for the iPad.

  • Help me please, games crash on launch, youtube videos won't play.

    Whenever i start up sound blaster cinema it just crashes, it will be fine for about 10 seconds, then it just crashes, it will usually freeze up everything when it crashes only thing i can do is move my cursor around, it will unfreeze after 10 seconds or so as well.
    I have tried to update sound blaster cinema but there are not updates available.
    It would usually go back to normal after a shutdown or a restart but this time it wasn't having any of it.
    Can anyone suggest anything that i couldn't think of?
    The crashing first started a month+ ago, but today when I was playing L4D2 a boomer explosion crashed L4D2 and sound blaster cinema simultaneously and now sound blaster cinema won't stop crashing after launch.
    (Edit)
    I can't launch any games, i try to play the game osu! and it launches normally except the screen turns black and then it crashes. i try to launch steam and login but the login menu wont pop
    I can't even play a youtube video, the background of the video will show but the video won't play, it's not buffering but the video is loading.
    windows media player won't launch as well, videos on my computer will not play at all.

    (FIXED)
    I went and downloaded thee intel(R) driver update utility 2.0 went to find drivers and then to auto detect and updated my drivers.
     This is the driver that helped me. vvvv
    ( Iris, irispro, and hd graphics driver for windows*7/8/8.1 version 15.36.19.64.41.70 )
    Sound blaster cinema doesn't crash on launch anymore, neither does my game osu! and youtube videos now play.

  • Certain youtube videos won't play in Firefox

    Firefox 20.0.1, windows 7, flashplayer up to date.
    Certain youtube videos won't play. The advert beforehand plays, and then the video just displays a black screen, no loading, trying to skip to a later time in the video doesn't work. It seems to be certain youtube users whose videos won't play, users whose videos I was able to watch only yesterday. The featured video on the user's channel is watchable, but not when opened separately.
    IE won't show the affected videos either.

    In addition to these symptoms, I've noticed that I can view these troubled videos on my cellphone just fine, but neither my XP or Win7 machine, which have all software updated can view. So if it was on youtubes side, it wouldn't work on my phone either.

  • CBS video won't play in Canada

    CBS video won't play in Canada, so someone sugested using a US proxy. I have tried with no sucess. I managed to find a website proxy, but the flash would not pass thru. I tried the settings in network, and free proxy servers, with no luck. Can someone help, or am I wasting my time.

    Yes I do have flash. The site worsk fine till you try to play the show, then it says conent restrcited. the commercials play
    I read somewhere that the proxy has to allow flash, I am not sure.
    Once you have set the proxy info in the pref's, how do you tell if you are actually surfing thru it? Or do you just assume that if it works, then you are?

  • After automatically updated to Firefox 3.6.15 videos won't play properly

    Recently when firefox was automatically updated to 3.6.15 suddenly videos won't play properly anymore. Vidxden videos used to play really well but now they don't load properly or not at all. All the other videos take forever to load and don't seem to be compatible anymore. I usually go to the same video sites and those don't work like they used to. I've noticed as well that hotmail is really slow and many pages won't load at all including windows live web site. It doesn't appear that 3.6.15 is very compatible with video play or msn sites.

    Since automatic update to 3.6.15, I am unable to play videos on abc.com, and even on my News Feed page in Facebook. The error message says the video is being blocked by an ad blocker in my browser. I have not changed my security settings, nor have I updated any other software recently.
    By the way, I did check the same videos (at abc.com and on Facebook) with Internet Explorer (same computer) and they played just fine.
