Youtube and Facebook video play issues

I purchased a new PC about 4 months ago a
Dell XPS8100 Studio.
Its an I7
Windows 7
IE 8.0.7600.16385
Flash player 10.1.85.3
Recently it updated the Flash and I'm pretty sure it was from that point on I have had issues playing videos on Facebook and Youtube.
If they don't start straight away you can hit refresh a few times and it will start to play but only run for about a min before it stops and the loading image occurs. Of course if I hit refresh again, it just takes me back to the start of the video.
The other alternative is that it will play about 4 seconds and then the downloading image appears and it does not play anymore. It does not seem to be a case of waiting to complete as I have waited and waited.
There is nothing wrong with my internet connection which is fast enough for smooth Video messenger conferencing.
I have not changed any of my antivirus (McAfee) or firewall settings.
I have sucessfully unistalled the Flash Player with the download tool and re-installed.
I'm using the 32bit IE8
This is driving my absolutely NUTS!!!
Please can you advise of a fix or which earlier version of Flash is likely to restore what used to work...
Rob

I have right clicked on the video and disabled hardware acceleration, I have also adjusted quality to low and there is no improvement.
Basically when you look at the playbar, the buffered video never moves during playback so it stops when the initial content of the buffer is exhausted.
This used to work with no issue until about a month ago.
Which Adobe files do I need to roll back?

  • Problems with YouTube and Facebook Videos

    Error message something like 'Unable to play video, please retry'.. and that's for ANY video and no matter how many times I retry it fails.I have been having this problem for weeks with both YouTube and Facebook, and both apps have been updated a few times in that time. The last few days I had a notification to update to latest firmware, so today I updated then completely factory reset even erasing data.. And still the problem persists. It's really annoying... Only way to get it to work is reboot the Tablet. Clearing cache and data does not work. Current YouTube version is 10.28.59Current Facebook version is 39.0.0.36.238My Z2 tablet is SGP 511On Android lollipop 5.1.1Build 23.4.A.0.546

    I suggest that you try to repair the phone software using PC Companion..
    Before repairing your device you may want to backup your information first. Check out this topic for more information on how to.
    How to backup?
    If the issue should still remain I think that this needs to be examined and fixed at a repair center. For more information about how to submit your phone for repair and where, contact your local support team.

    Several problems continuous since first installing Firefox. Personal google search settings don't save; remember me options on web sites like Facebook aren't remembered; Youtube and Flixy videos don't play despite removing/reinstalling/upgrading Firefox several times; upgraded the latest flash plugin today, but no difference, symptoms are black play box with youtube and white box with Flixy. Disbale AV and antimalware makes no difference either.

    After Yosemite upgrade, youtube and vimeo videos not playing

    Hey not sure this will help, but I had the same problem, got errors, no video's worked.
    I restarted hitting the OPTION key and chose the server drive to boot from, then repaired disk, then repaired permissions and restarted.
    Youtube then worked afterwards. Hope it works for you!

  • Video Playing Issue

    Hi, I got an Xperia Z3 the other day and I've noticed I can't play any video type files or anything. Snapchat, Twitch App and videos on Facebook all don't load or play. In the case of Snapchat and Facebook (videos where I select to play them) it gives me a "Sorry this video cannot be played" message. Any ideas on what to do?
    Thank you!

    It's the same story as it's ever been with Sony. While I absolutely love the company for being very progressive and daring when it comes to developing totally new tech I am always shocked by their way of actually selling these hot products. It really seems they put all the effort in developing new tech and making it work and then they totally stop and absolutely don't care for selling this hot stuff. Sometimes it looks like they even try to avoid to sell their products.
    Currently they totally fail concerning Remote Play for Xperia Z3 series. Remote Play for the Xperia Z3 line has been promoted as the "Killer Feature" of the line and was part of every advertising campaign. The only problem was that this main feature wasn't even available when the phones came out end of Septembre in Europe. If you didn't follow the promotion in detail and only watched the commercials chances were very high you bought the phone for that feature alone only to become aware - as soon as you got your phone - that you couldn't use this feature for weeks to come.
    Unfortunately it doesn't stop here. Now that Xperia Remote Play has been launched last week don't make the mistake to think that you can enjoy Xperia play to its fullest now. Oh no - It's a Sony - so you know you are in for more weird things to come. Now that Xperia Remote Play is available you want/need to grab one of these GCM-10 Game Control Mounts so you can hook up the Dualshock4 with your Xperia Phone (absolutely neccessary for satisfying and comfortable gameplay) Yes you are right while this GCM10 seems to be very appropriate for its purpose it's still just a piece of plastic, no tech involved, absolutely nothing of ingenious design, nothing involved that could cause a delay for production. But unfortunately you still can't use this Xperia Z3 Killer Feature Remote Play because now that the phone has finally arrived, now that - weeks later - the Xperia Remote Play App has arrived this GCM10 piece of playstic ist still not available. Needless to say that by now there even doesn't exist an official date when the GCM10 Gaming Mount will be available. So by now you are still blocked from enjoying glorious Dualshock4 supported Remote Play by the unavailability of a plastic adapter!
    Once again I am really disappointed by Sony's way to bring their amazing tech to the customer!

  • Problem with youtube and other video websites

    I have a problem with youtube and other video websites:
    Everything is up to date (flash, FF, my plug ins..) but i keep getting freezes when the video loads. I can hear sound but i can only see the first frame of the video.
    I've reinstalled flash/firefox or tried updating them again for about 4 times now and my cookies/cache has also been errased which i usually don't do. If i enter FF's safe mode it also freezes.
    I hope someone could help out, i've searched for answer on google before and tried everything i saw but it didn't helped.
    grts,
    agrash

    Hmm, so that person had a conflicting plug in.
    Problem is that whenever i enter firefoxes safe mode which disables every plug in, i still have the youtube freeze/crash

  • I want to download 'my' videos from YouTube and Google Video

  • My firefox cannot connect to youtube and facebook

    I have just returned from China where firefox on my macbook pro cannot get connection to the youtube and facebook website.  Now I cannot even get on youtube and facebook in Australia.  Anybody had the same problem before? Please help me. 

    Are you trying to connect over WiFi? Or cellular? Does this happen on all networks or just certain ones?
    And, just for my edification, what is "Twitch"?

  • HT4363 I just purchased an Apple TV MD199LL/A, got it connected to my internet.  I can go to Youtube and watch videos.  I'm able to access Netflix.  All seems well except I cannot connect to my iTunes account.  I have gone through the list - home sharing

    I just purchased an Apple TV MD199LL/A, got it connected to my internet.  I can go to Youtube and watch videos.  I'm able to access Netflix.  All seems well except I cannot connect to my iTunes account.  I have gone through the list - home sharing is set correctly on both iTunes and my Apple TV.  The userid is correct on both. 
    Message "Loading prodrigu's library" and then "Could not connect to prodrigu's library".
    I had this same problem when I installed the REMOTE application on my ipad.  Everything on the list was affirmative, but had the same problem not being able to connect to my iTunes.
    What is missing?  Is there a firewall setting that could be causing this? 

    I don't mean to be facetious but sometimes the simplest things are overlooked.  To connect to your library you have to have the computer where the iTunes library is located running and with iTunes open.  It also needs to be on the same network.  My network is dual band and works with either stream but a friend of mine does not.  He has to set the computer and the Apple TV to the same band.  Hope this helps.
