YouTube error in playing video

Recently had FiOS TV, internet and phone installed. Could not get the YouTube widget to work. With some help from this forum, got Media Manager set up and working so I can view pictures, play music, etc from the TV. When I run the YouTube widget, it says "Installing YouTube..." on the screen everytime.  Then I can enter a search from the TV and see the YouTube results.  When I go to play the video, I get the red hand and "error playing video" message.  Could not locate any good solution on here, hence the new post. Understand - I have already reinstalled MM and there appear to be no firewall issues since I can view pictures and listen to music on the TV from the computer.  Please help getting the YouTube videos to PLAY.  I made sure FiOS had this before I switched from Directv...now I'm worried! Thanks.

    Did you also update Adobe Flash Player to be compatible w/your new OS? 

  • Youtube is not playing videos with firefox 17.0, writes: an error has occurred please try again later. chrome is playing videos normally.

    I tried the advises with cookies and cache but it is still not working. i have windows vista and now i installed firefox 17.0. chrome is playing videos normally. I have no idea what is wrong, I have installed the same firefox on windows 7 to my friend few days ago and it was no problem with youtube. I have flashplayer 11.
    thank you

    Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
    Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
    If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
    To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.
    If the above doesn't work then could you try disabling graphics hardware acceleration? Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • Youtube suddenly stopped playing videos

    My iMac OSX 10.6.8 suddenly stopped playing youtube videos.
    I haven't installed any new software or changed anything that coincided with the loss.
    The youtube screen says blocked plug in.
    I read the existing discussions and:
      I opted out of the HTML5 pilot, restarted Safari (5.1.8).  Still won't play videos. 
    In the past, videos played on Quick Time Player so I'm reluctant to install Flash Player. 
    Any ideas??

    You cannot watch YouTube w/o flashplayer.  You will need to install the latest version from Adobe's website.  Also, regarding QT install Perian (AVI and FLV support) 
    After doing the above installations, make sure you repair permissions and restart your computer. 

  • Youtube problem when playing videos in safari

    Whatever youtube video i play it just freezes and glitches and the whole video window and webpage becomes unresponsive whether im on youtube or watching a youtube video on another site, the video is unwatchabe and i have to reload the page over and over and sometimes it will eventially play okay. I have no problems playing videos through firefox.
    I have tried empyting the cache, cookies and all the other browsing data, i have tried reinstalling flash player, i have cleaned my computer and still the problem persisits. I have no problems with any other video sites or flash windows, its just youtube (typically).
    I need help to get to the bottom of this!

    Hi..
    Quit Safari.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
    You need to uninstall the current Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache (yes, do this one more time).
    Now try a video.
    BTW... 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 Safa

  • Memory full error while playing video in N8.... Pl...

    Hi All,
    I am getting memory full error while playing movie..... it plays for abt 5 minutes & then the error message pops up and the application shuts down.....
    I have checked C:, D: & E: & they have enough free space..... but i did find any solution......
    please if anyone can help....
    Thanks in advance!!

    This might happen if some memory extensive application ,like an antivirus or some other mobile management softwares are running in the background.
    You can start by checking if stopping /removing these apps correct the problem.
    Else sometimes viruses in the memory card can cause this, try removing any external memory and play something from the phone memory.

  • Any solution to the "Error in playing video" problem when trying to play YouTube videos on DVR?

    Tech. support said they updated the firmware on my DVR remotely, but that didn't do anything.  I see other people are having issues.  Does anyone have a solution, or has anyone had tech. support actually fix the problem?  Thanks.

    it's definetely a Media manager thing,  make sure you have the absolute latest and greatest media manager (tech support will tell you to make sure of this too)   
    then make sure you add VerizonMediaManager.exe and VZVideoAgent.exe to the firewall exception list in all the firewalls on your machine (meaning windows firewall plus whatever firewall you have installed // mcafee, norton, trendmicro, kaspersky etc....)
    Also let us know if the sample videos work and it's just youtube that doesn't, or do the sample videos not play either?
    if sample video's play then youtube should really work and vz may have to have their it guys look at it.
    if the sample videos's don't work then it's probably the firewall thing I mentioned above.  the sample vid is included in the Media Manager PC installation kit.
    try this if as well, I found this on their website.
    Media Manager Troubleshooting guide : https://www36.verizon.com/MM/fiossupport/Index.shtm
    Also some virus protectors like eset and avg see verizon media manager as a threat and terminate the connection.  this link gives you a couple work arounds to fixing that.

  • Im having trouble with FF & Youtube; it wont play videoes

    i'm having trouble with FF; Youtube videos dont play, just a black screen ? ; they play ok on Google Chrome; BBC news videos play ok with FF. I have upgraded Adobe Flash no look, reverted to previous, no luck. I'm running Windows 7, on a DELL Inspiron with terraflops of memory and no system bugs, clean as a whistle.
    FF is my default browser. The mouse-over previews play? Sometime for fractions of second videos try to play, then revert to black screen.

  • Youtube won't play videos on Safari

    I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and Safari won't play any youtube videos on youtube. However on some other sites linked videos will play. I've tried (multiple times) to uninstall and reinstall Adobe Flash Player to no avail. Any other solutions?

    Hi ...
    If you have ClickToFlash installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. The plugin is located 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.
    Empty the Safari cache more often. From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Quit then relaunch Safari, try a video.

  • "Connection error" while playing video file ?

    Hello,
    I have created a project in Captivate 5.5, Integrated a Video in it, Its working fine when both are in same folder. Now I changed the video url to http://mysite.com?q=filename, I see player shows "Loading..." some time then shows "Connection error", I checked it with http sniffer, video downloaded successfully but can't play in it.
    So please let me know is it bug or any workarround to solve it.
    I think query paramaters are not working in Video URL.
    Thanks in advance,
    Laxmilal Menaria    

    OK.  What might be happening here is that Captivate expects the URL to be in a particular format and it could be that the way your URL is structured is not compatible with what Captivate expects.
    Take a look at this blog post from the Adobe blogs:http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2011/03/workaround-for-video-streaming-issues-in-captivat e.html
    It might give you some pointers about the way that the URL needs to be set up.

  • 2011 iMac freezes anytime I play videos

    My 2011 iMac continually freezes anytime I play videos whether it's on Netflix or iTunes.  There's no problem playing videos on YouTube.  I am on version 10.9.2 OS X.  The videos will freeze for about five seconds (everything freezes - including the dock bar), then will unfreeze and after I'd say another five seconds, it freezes again! Does anyone have any suggestions? It's very frustrating trying to watch a movie!  I also have a horizontal white line that goes straight across the video as well, which I'm guessing is probably linked to the videos freezing...?

    Is your friends phone jailbroke? Also are you using the facebook app? If so then you need to ask the developer of the app what the problem is.

  • 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.

  • Some videos on YouTube will not play

    As of a few days ago some of the videos on YouTube will not play I tried IE(I stopped using after it ask for an update) ,but then I had to use google chome and I hate it, but the videos played. Its not every video, and some times it's the same video I just played not to long ago. I fear that soon I might not be able to view most videos on YouTube. I cleared my cache, made sure everything it up-to-date, although Silverlight-plugin will not update, no matter what I try to do( I hope that is not the reason, because Silverlight won't up-date.) I'm am not sure when this problem first arose, at first I though it was Google/YouTube having issues, but it seems like Google's browser works fine on the videos that do not play on Firefox. What can I do, I need Firefox to work, I can't bare to move to another browser.

    A few other thoughts:
    (1) For a video where this happens, does the problem persist if you try reloading a few times using Ctrl+Shift+r?
    (2) Is there any difference in how you connect to Youtube between your browsers? You can check Firefox's connection setting here:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
    The default is "Use system proxy settings" but you also could try "No proxy".
    (3) Have you received any SSL-related errors, such as pages reporting a certificate problem and requiring you to make an exception, or missing styles or functionality on secure sites?
    (4) If you opted in to the html5 player, is there a pattern of the problem videos being in one format or the other (HTML5 player vs. Flash player)? https://www.youtube.com/html5
