Youtube and videos

i have recently been unable to view videos (youtube and other site) on safari! the site loads up but the video does not show up or play!
how do i resolve this?

First thing is to always try a reset, then a restore.
Remember that sometimes YouTube "goes down", and sometimes (if viewing over Edge) you will have such poor reception that videos will not play (other things can still load but video needs a better bandwidth in order to play). However, if you are connecting via wi-fi and they do not play the reset/restore is always the first thing to try.

  • Youtube and videos keep downloading so that the lecture stops and goes on by "increments"each 2 seconds

    Youtube and videos are not running fluently the way they did.  It goes on downloading each 2 seconds. What can I do to solve the issue ? Thank you for your help.

    Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin. Sometimes it's necessary to uninstall then reinstall that plugin.
    Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
    Now launch Safari and try a video.
    If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
    You may also need to delete the cache associated with Safari .
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy/paste:   ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Click Go the move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a video.

  • [SOLVED]Youtube and Video Codecs

    Hey guys
    Ok basically today i went to make a screen recording for a friend. and i got this command line of the internet, youtube itself actually. i do remember the guy on the video saying he converts it later
    The recording went fine. better than fine, x11grab is impressive
    But when i uploaded the video to youtube, youtube failed to process the video, saying it couldnt read the codec
    ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse -f x11grab -r 30 -s $(xwininfo -root | grep 'geometry' | awk '{print$2;}') -i :0.0 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast -threads 0 -y output.avi
    So im wondering how i'd go about converting the file into a format that youtube will accept
    i did try this, it convers the video itself but with no audio
    mencoder output.avi -o test.mp4 -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video -of mpeg
    due to this error
    mencoder unknown audio format assuming mp2/3 use -fafmttag
    I did try searching the arch forums and google. i couldnt find a solution or whats happening with the audio situation with mencoder

    If you want to tweak a few parameters along the way:
    ffmpeg -i 'input-file.avi' -r 25 -s 640x368 -aspect 16:9 -b 988k -vcodec libxvid -vtag xvid -metadata title='Metainfo Title' -acodec libmp3lame -ac 2 -ab 128k 'output-file.avi'
    or to purely copy video as is and transcode audio:
    ffmpeg -i 'input.avi' -sameq -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec libmp3lame -ac 2 -ab 128k 'output-file.avi'
    man ffmpeg
    for more info and other options

  • IWeb questions - Youtube and Videos.

    Hi,
    A few quick questions
    1) How do you put a link into a page so that visitors see the movie (let's say it's on Youtube) but are not directed to the actual page. Here is a link to a website that accesses one of my Youtube videos, yet it doesn't bring the visitor to Youtube.com. http://starsneverfade.com/callowayConcert.htm Here is another example of how someone access a video on my website without visiting my site. Both of these have my permission... but how was it done? http://www.davidgeist.com/rhapsodyinblue.html
    2) is it possible to put a Flash movie into Iweb? I have a few people grumbling that they cannot play Quicktime movies. I hear .flv movies are more compatible with Windows based computer... augh! Why doesn't everyone just buy a Mac and make my life easier?
    3) Is it possible to copy protect a video? What I'm asking is once I post a video is there a way to prevent people from downloading it?
    Thanks!
    Gary

    I have a large collection of sample pages with video: QuickTime, Flash Video, Windows Media, DivX, Real.
    http://web.mac.com/wyodor/iFrame/
    You use the object/embed code and paste it in a HTML Snippet.
    I usually use a separate custom HTML page to embed with the [iframe HTML element|http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/special/iframe.html] or [object HTML element|http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/special/object.html].
    I have a few people grumbling that they cannot play Quicktime movies. I hear .flv movies are more compatible with Windows based computer... augh! Why doesn't everyone just buy a Mac and make my life easier?
    It's not Win or Mac. It's what you want. Flash Video has advantages over QT. And DivX has advantages over Flash Video. And Vimeo has advantages over YouTube. The samples will show you.
    3) Is it possible to copy protect a video? What I'm asking is once I post a video is there a way to prevent people from downloading it?
    If I can watch it, I can download it.

  • YouTube and videos slow on Firefox

    Hi, I have tried to resolve this on my own, but i couldn't so please, help me.
    I'm having BIG troubles trying to reproduce any video in YouTube. When i try to watch something, the video goes terribly slow, with continuos jumps and hangs, however the audio still is being reproduce perfectly.
    I have the last Adobe Flash Player version installed, if i go here http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html it says it. But the animation i should see in that page to check if everything is ok, is really slow, and it has those jumps, the same than youtube.
    I have tried to unistall, and install it again, but it doesn't work.
    My computer is: Windows 7 64 bits, AMD FX 6300 6 core, GTX 650, 8 Gb RAM, motherboard ASRock 980DE3/U3S3 i'm using Firefox 35. and last version of flash player.
    By the way, if i tri to use Chrome, it works I believe it's because Chrome has it installed by default, so the problem it's just with Firefox (or games than nead Flash player installed)

    It sounds like you have an excellent workaround available.
    You can try to resolve the issues in Firefox by taking a look at our video troubleshooting guide:
    Video playback issues
    If that doesn't work, your best short-term option is probably to use Chrome.

  • I use Adobe Flash player version 11.7.700.225 why do my YouTube and other videos keep stopping

    I use Adobe Flash player version 11.7.700.225 which is the latest version.  can anybody tell me why my YouTube and videos stop and I cannot view them I have a macbook pro with retina display late 2012 and I am running OSX 10.8.4. Do I need some other flash to view or what thanks for your time.

    noelenefromashford,
    I'm in the same boat. Safari 6.0.5, stalls, and stops playing video (youtube, vimeo, etc). I tried the same videos with Firefox and they play fine!
    Running 10.8.4 on Mac tower.
    I just switched from an older Macbook Pro 15" with the same OS version and browsers , and never had that issue. What gives?

  • 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

  • Videos on youtube and bbc radio iplayer display a black box instead of the player box.

    so yesterday morning i was using youtube and bbc iplayer fine and then last night they suddenly stopped working and i can't think of any reason why, i haven't updated or made any changes to anything in the last day. the pages load fine but where there was previoulsy the video or in the case of iplayer the picture with the controls on, there is now just a black box. i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash player but otherwise don't know what to do!
    i've also tried using internet explorer and have the same problem with this. i've tried to update firefox but cant get it to work, although i imagine this won't help anyway since ive got the same problem in internet explorer.
    Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

    You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

    Hi,
    Try a clean installation of the flash plugin/activeX as follows.
    First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    Flash Player Uninstaller.
    When the download has completed, close all browser windows, open your Download folder and run the uninstaller.  After this has completed, restart the notebook.
    When windows has reloaded, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.  Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
    When the installation has completed, restart the notebook.
    If the above doesn't correct the issue, then try the following.
    First of all, download and run the Shockwave uninstaller on the link below.
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/shockwave/uninstall/win/sw_uninstaller.exe
    After this has completed, restart the notebook.
    When windows has fully reloaded, download and install the latest version of Shockwave on the following link.
    http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
    Again, after this installation, restart the notebook.
