Play YouTube Video Using Movie URL

InDesign CS3
Hello,
Is it possible to insert a movie that uses a URL to a video on YouTube? YouTube URL's do not contain the actual file name/type and I believe that is why I am unable to play the video - however I thought I would check and see if anyone has had success doing this.
My goal is to be able to play the YouTube video within the exported PDF.

Unable to play youtube videos - using proxy (squid)

Youtube videos do not play in my configuration. Most youtube content appears, but attempting to play a video results in a popup message "This movie could not be played". Sorry for the length of the post, but I'm trying to get enough documentation down here to save some time for the next person who runs into this.
My basic network configuration is:
ipod->wireless-router->squid-proxy->pix->internet
*I am analyzing logfiles from the proxy and the pix, and I have network traces from the proxy.
There are 2 issues so far with proxy access from the youtube application on the fw v2.2 ipod touch. After hitting the first issue, I made a call to tech support who pointed me to an older apple discussion thread about a similar issue which indicated the problem could be fixed by "reconfiguring the proxy server", but no details were given in that discussion thread about exactly what needed to be 'reconfigured'. I believe have figured out what was going wrong, and I document it as issue 1 below in case anyone else runs into it.
Issue 1 (which I managed to get solved) is that the youtube application sends a 'Host:' header pointing to gdata.youtube.com, but the requested url is actually iphone-wu.apple.com. Squid rewrites the 'host' header to iphone-wu.apple.com, and the target server fails the request with a 404. A solution (for squid) is to use a redirector to rewrite these url's to actually go to gdata.youtube.com and to set the 'urlrewrite_hostheader off' value.
Unfortunately, resolving issue #1 was not sufficient to get youtube off the launch pad:
Issue 2 (which seems unsolveable at the moment) is that the youtube application is ignoring proxy settings for some of its content requests. In addition to the proxy requirement, I have egress firewalling and logging set up. I observe the youtube application asking for many url's via the proxy and then I observe the egress firewall deny an attempt at a direct access to port 80 on an external server BYPASSING the proxy settings. Without opening up the egress firewall rules (and thereby disable requirement for a proxy), this makes the youtube application inoperative.
If anyone has some insight on how I can get this working, I'd appreciate it. I will attempt another support call tomorrow with my logfiles in hand...

Thanks for posting! -- I'm glad the info is helpful to you. There is more that I have been deliberately keeping quiet about while trying to work through a support call that was logged 27-dec-08. Without going into a lot of detail, the support call is still open, and I'm still working on getting a resolution from apple engineering. I hope that by providing this information, my support call doesn't get terminated as having been "solved" - which it most definitely has not been. It is my belief that only a firmware update will fix this.
(And as an aside ... I've spoken with three or four support reps at apple, and all have been very nice and have tried to help out! I've been quite pleased with the front end to their support org. I just really want to hear that someone has LOOKED at the code and found the error and it will be fixed in a future update!)
A work-around for the youtube and itunes applet failures is to set your squid up as a transparent proxy. That way, the network accesses that these applets make that attempt to bypass the proxy are hidden and the applets "work".
I would most certainly appreciate any further corroboration of this misbehavior -- more than one site being able to demonstrate these applets bypassing the proxy would be quite helpful.
(Note also that the lastest firmware 2.2.1 also exhibits this issue)
Thanks.

Problem in Playing YouTube Videos using Safari. It says "500 Internal Server Error" every time I am going to play video?

Is there anybody who can help me fix this issue? I encountered this problem for almost to weeks now. I can't play video on You Tube using Safari browser for my MacBook Pro. Every time I tried to play video on You Tube. It shows
"500 Internal Server Error"
Sorry, something went wrong.
A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation. (Followed by codes)
When I checked my other computer using Google Chrome and Firefox browser. There is no problem in playing You Tube videos.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test.

Firefox won't display a google slideshow, but plays youtube videos, using winxp sp 3 and have latest flash installed.

When you hover over the area where the video should be, it shows a message with info about flashplayer, but doesn't show the video.
The video shows up in Explorer 8 and the latest Safari.
Here is the link for the web page I mentioned.. the video is at the bottom after the text..

Is it possible to play youtube video in safari browser on WiFi in iOS devices ?

Hello Support,
I have a query regarding playing you tube videos in iOS devices (like iphone,ipad). I can able to play youtube videos in safari browser in iphone on 3G data connection but can not play the same video on WiFi. I am facing the same issue in the youtube iOS application also. Is it possible to play youtube video on WiFi in iOS devices ? Please help me to fix this issue.
Thanks

My understanding is that you should definitely be able to play youtube videos using a Wi-Fi network. To me, it sounds as though the issue may be more network related as the videos will work over cellular data. I have a couple questions I believe could help narrow down the exact issue:
• Is the device able to browse to other websites while connected to Wi-Fi, or will no sites work?
• Are there other devices (iPads, iPhones, computers, etc) that work on the same Wi-Fi network?
These are some troubleshooting articles that come to mind as well:

How to play YouTube videos in HD on iPhone over cellular?

Does anyone know how to play YouTube videos using the Google YouTube app in HD on the iPhone over cellular? I'm asking because I have an iPhone 5 with a large LTE data plan, which I don't mind using a bit more data for better clearity on the videos. I know in the past people have suggested to use YouTube in the Safari broswer to view videos in HD, but I find it to be non-consistant. Anyone have a better idea how to watch YouTube videos in HD on iPhone/iPad over cellular (3G/LTE)?

Did you use iAD to create the widget? If you did... then there support group should have answers.
If you used one of the widgets in iBA - as you have had no suggestion for a fix... you will need to contact iBooks support.
The More Like This column on the right shows links to similar problems.
It would seem to be related to your use of You Tube and Vimeo content or maybe its how you put the widget content together.
Have you search the iBA help files, previous posts and the iBA tips?

HT1551 I recently downloaded the latest software update for on my Apple TV (per the prompt Apple TV gave us). Ever since downloading the update, we cannot access movies, play movies, or access iTune store. We can play YouTube videos so not a connection

Help. I recently downloaded the latest software update for on my Apple TV (per the prompt Apple TV gave us). Ever since downloading the update, we cannot access movies, play movies, or access iTune store. We can play YouTube videos so the problem is not related to the connection. It happens only when we are trying to access Movies. Very confused. Our AppleTV was working fine until I did the new software update. Now this problem! Help!

re-add the shared lib
check the firewall on the computer

When I try to play youtube video I get the message of blocked plug-in, and I can not play video using Safari. (Youtube works fine with google chrome) I tried installing flash player HTML5 etc... but still no difference.

I just installed OSX Mountian Lion, and ever since then I can not play youtube video's. I get the message of 'Blocked Plug-in' in the youtube screen. I have tried installing Adobe Flash Player. HTML 5, also tried enabling/disabling java, but nothing worked out. Is there any way I can play youtbe vieos on Safar. (It works fine with Google Chrmoe, only safari has problem)

If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
Try uninstalling the currently installled Flash plugin (required for most YouTube content) then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now from the menu bar click Develop > Empty Caches

Flash Player Not Playing YouTube Videos bigger than 360p on IE10

Hi Guys
I've been playing YouTube videos on Internet Explorer 10 without a problem but today I suddenly cannot play any video higher than 360p. All I get is a black oblong box with no loading wheel or player controls. When I right click it says "movie not loaded". My Flash Player is version 11,9,900,117. I can still play 720p on Firefox or Chrome, although they do not seem as smooth as they used to (but that may just be my imagination).
Any ideas why and what I can do? All the research suggests it could be Flash Player but I appreciate this problem may not be directly Flash Player (I'm trying all the various forums to try and identify where the problem is).
Regards,
Graham

How do I stop Thunderbird playing youtube videos in a tab

For ages I've been trying to get Thunderbird to work how it used to work but I seem to be fighting a loosing battle. I have done everything I can do to try and stop Thunderbird from ever using tabs. The latest thing I'm trying to stop is Thunderbird playing YouTube videos in a tab. Often I get emails with videos in them that play really small. If I click in the fullscreen option in the video it doesn't work and I've no idea why? So I click on the YouTube link in the video and I want it to open in Firefox. But instead it opens in a tab. This would be okay except that it plays really slowly and I can't reposition the tab. This is one of the reasons why I hate tabs in Thunderbird. I want to read things (or watch videos) in the centre of my screen, not where Thunderbird decides to open a tab, which is usually in the top right of my screen. With a very large screen it is much more frustrating than it would be on a laptop or other small screen.
Can someone please tell me how to fix this?
Another thing I would like to fix is the search function. I use search all the time and it is very powerful/useful. But again, when I click on the search results it opens the result in a tab. It would be okay if it opened a tab in the search results window but it opens the tab in the main Thunderbird window. It may also be okay if search opened a tab. But opening search in a new window and then showing the search items in a tab on the main window is just so frustrating. It almost makes me want to stop using search. I looked at using X Search Desktop for search but it no longer supports Thunderbird.
Again, can someone please tell me how to fix this?
I absolutely love Thunderbird but I really wish it were possible to roll back the changes that have been made in a number of areas. I spend so much time looking for add-ons just to get it back to how it used to be. With every new version there seems to be another change to the interface. I have to use "manually sort folders" just to get the folders to be in the order I want them. Like everyone else I want the security fixes that come with new versions but I don't want interface changes forced on me for no reason.
But now so many add-ons seem to stop working with each new release. I used to have an add-on that provided two simple buttons to increase/decrease the text size of incoming emails/RSS feeds. It also allowed me to set the font size/type I wanted for each incoming email/RSS feed and overide whatever was originally set. That stopped working a while back and I'd love to know if there is an alternative. Some RSS feed fonts are now set for smart phones and are simply massive in Thunderbird.
If anyone can help me with these issues I'd be most grateful.

You can check the home page (startup) setting:

I have windows 8.1 and firefox won't play youtube videos but IE will

I have windows 8.1 and firefox won't play youtube videos but IE will. I have tried reinstalling firefox, flash, java. Resetting firefox don't help, disabled hardware acceleration, protected mode 0 in the mms.cfg file. Nothing will play on youtube in firefox. It says "an error has occured, please try again later". The ads play fine though. Everything plays fine in IE. I have tried different versions of flash also with no luck. I even restored the system to a previous iso image with no luck. Does anyone have a solution?

It maybe because your javascript is disabled .

Unable to play youtube videos after OS 10.2.1.2977 update

Hi, I got an OS update two days back "10.2.1.2977". after updating, all the data in my memory card got wiped off and I am unable to play youtube videos both in browser and Supertube/fasttube apps, it's showing as "Error1: Internal" I tried rebooting but the problem is still there. Does anyone faced the same problem. Please suggest me a way to get rid of this problem. Appreciate your help

Alternatively, you can use an autoloader to reload the software.
You can download it here for the same os:
http://filefactory.com/file/7il26x7cisqd/10.2.1_B3247_Z10-3G.rar
Note that using this will also wipe all data from the phone.
How to use?
1) download it and extract it
2) connect the device to a pc
3) run the Exe file, it will automatically wipe and load the os in

Up until 6 hours ago I was able to play youtube videos now I cant in firefox I have no problem playing them in google chrome or IE .But if I am in firefox all I get is a black screen no picture ,no sound, no bar at the bottom. Need suggestion

I am not able to play youtube videos. No picture no sound

I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.
