Youtube Treating Videos Viewed On Youtube As Embedded Videos-Cannot Play

When I go to watch videos on Youtube in the most recent version of Firefox, the player treats them as though they were embedded; they do not begin playing automatically, there is no option for pop-out, and there is a "Watch this video on Youtube" button in the lower right-hand corner of the UI. Furthermore, when I try to play the video, I get a black screen and " An error occurred. Please try again later."
I should stress again that I am ''already'' on Youtube when this is happening. This is not a problem with embedded videos on other sites, this is actual videos on Youtube behaving like embedded videos.
I've already cleared the cache and cookies, disabled AdBlock, updated Flash, and updated Firefox; no joy.

This may be caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update.

Video cannot play on my mac

Videos cannot play on my Mac. I have downloaded flash player over and over again, enabled it with all three browsers. Added plugins and nothing. Can anyone provide any advise? I would also like to see who I can speak to about this. Thanks!

What OS version?

Video cannot played on this ipod

I have a mp4 file I'm trying to drag to my ipod but I'm getting the "cannot played on this ipod" error when I try. My wife has another ipod just like it that I CAN however drag the file to. I have the latest software on the ipod. What could be causing this?

Ok I just wanted to check because this is NOT the Fifth Generation iPod group, so there was a chance you might have been posting in the correct group for your iPod, which would have been a PRE-video version. So you have the right iPod, just the wrong forum.
So do you both have the same firmware loaded in your iPods?
Have you tried a restore on yours to see if it makes any difference?
Cheers,

HT203180 how can you check prior to purchase if the video format is compatible, and how to get refund if purchased itunes video cannot play on the ipod

Is it possible to check prior to purchase that the iTunes video about to be purchased can played on the iPod. Also is it possible to get refund if purchased videos from itunes are not compatible on their own products (i only play videos on my ipod).

I am having this same issue since I updated OS7. Please advise.

This post is for Windows 8.1 users with Xfinity Online TV Error Messages. I hope there only a few of you. Let's try everything else first before we consider doing a "REFRESH". A refresh can be done two ways. One will set your computer back to FACTORY SETTINGS. This means you will lose all files, all added software, all added browsers and your computer will be returned to Windows 8 The other way you can keep your personal files and passwords. You will lose all added software and browsers, also returned to Windows 8 If you have purchased software online or have a recovery back up disk all of this can be reinstalled. You will need your user names and passwords for your software, most recovery disks even require license and password info. I have been thru this process myself. Careful preparation can make the process easier. After doing this I was advised by Microsoft Support to reinstall Windows 8.1 before reinstalling my antivirus. This procedure made an incredible difference.
I just wanted you to consider this if we have tried everything else without a positive result. Clearly the Windows 8.1 users with Error 422 problems may be the most difficult to repair.

THIS IS FOR WINDOWS 7 & VISTA USERS ONLY. Microsoft has an automated solutions site that repairs Windows 7 & Vista Problems. This link is for video problems.
I can not run these solutions on my computer because I have Windows 8.1 and this site states "We are sorry, but your operating system is not supported by Microsoft Fix It at this time". Windows 8 users will get the same message. Here is the link. On the web page click on Run now.
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/video_freezes_or_crashes/ After running the program click on one of the two light blue links on the web page. This will take you to the Microsoft Fix It MAIN PAGE. Bookmark this page because there are a total of 27 other repair options. I tried to use my old Windows XP on this site. After clicking on Run now my computer stated can not run program, do you want to download this file to run? I clicked OK. After it downloaded I double clicked on the file to open it. My computer stated can not open this file and showed some ads for programs to open the file. I did not want to go any further because this files were not offered by Microsoft and felt sure they were not free.I CAN NOT RECOMMEND WINDOWS XP USERS TRY THIS SITE.
THE OPINIONS EXPRESSED IN MY POSTS ARE MINE AND MINE ALONE, I OFFER NO PROMISES OR GUARANTEES. I am using this post as my personal data storage area. This link is for Windows 7 restore point information.

I have a Mac Air. When I go to view video online (youtube for example), the screen for the video comes up with a black square space where the video should play. But there is no pay button and the vidoe never starts playing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Shockwave and Flash are not the same. Try installing a Flash plug-in. Here's the latest: Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.183

Why do some YouTube videos stop playing after a short time?

Since sometime in October, 2013, I have noticed that more and more YouTube videos stop playing within a minute of starting. Most that stop do so in 15 or 16 seconds. The playing stops because the download stops. I watch this on a network activity monitor I always have running. Not all videos do this, but the problem is becoming more and more frequent. Some videos which played correctly for me in the recent past are now exhibiting this problem.
Other than installing the latest Firefox updates I have NOT changed the software on my machine. I run Linux by the way. I do not think this is a Linux problem because (1) it was all working before and (2) my son who runs both Mac OS X *and* Windows is also seeing the same problem. We both use Firefox as our browser on all our platforms.
I should also note that I am NOT seeing this problem with any of the other video websites I use, only when I go to YouTube. That leads me to believe that the problem is not in Firefox; if it were it should affect videos from all websites.
Additionally the problem occurs whether or not I log into YouTube.
I have not run Firefox in safe mode because all the extensions I use did not affect the download of Videos before, so I don't expect unchanged extensions to suddenly start causing problems.
So, anyone else see this problem? (There was another note which talked about the same problem but it was disabled.)
Also -- pardon my paranoia, but -- I need to ask: Since YouTube is owned by Google and Google has its own browser it wants you to use, Chrome, is it possible that Google is intentionally causing some YouTube videos to fail if it sees that they are being sent to Firefox?
(That is not so outlandish I think. Microsoft WAS at one point caught mangling web pages going to certain web browsers other than IE. And these days Google wants to dominate the Internet just as badly as Microsoft does, so why not pull dirty tricks too?)
If this keeps happening I am going to have to try Google's Chrome to see if it somehow manages to play YouTube videos correctly while Firefox does not. But I really do NOT want to install Chrome because I trust Google about as much as I trust Microsoft, which is to say Not At All.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
There have been some issues with Flash 11 in the recent past. This could be a manifestation of that issue. Kindly check this response below to see if this helps you in viewing Flash videos.
Also, if you want to check if this is a flash problem and specifically on youtube, you can try the HTML5 version of Youtube. In this, there are no plugins involved, and the browser natively renders the videos. You can signup for the HTML5 trial by visiting http://youtube.com/html5. Please try that and check if the issue goes away.
Also, in this case, Google might not be doing anything sinister - they generally try to be standards compliant too. You can definitely try installing Google Chrome and test this issue, but we definitely would want you to continue to be a Firefox user :)

Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.

Also, try this one too
Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash update and/or a malfunctioning browser plugin such as Real Player.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
* [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]

YouTube Videos Stop Playing/Loading During Playback

Can anyone tell me how to fix my iPhone4? When viewing YouTube videos with the App over wifi, everything is good until after a random amount of playback, the download bar stops loading and the video stops playing. This happens on most videos.

I was about to post the same problem - many YouTube videos either won't start downloading to my iPhone 4 or download about 15% then stop. Here's an example of a video that won't start downloading:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfdK6H9d6J0&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I'm on a very fast cable internet link and ten feet from my Airport Extreme base station. I'm on iOS 4.3.3.
This happens on WiFi or 3G links, everything else works fine.
Recall that the original iPhone ads touted the ability to download and watch YouTube materials. Not so much anymore.

Cannot play youtube videos

I cannot play Youtube videos on my MacBook Pro. I am using Safari. I checked to see if Google had signed me up in their test program and I am not. The apple store upgraded flash.
Any ideas?

If you are trying to view YouTube content from Safari, that requires Flash which cannot be installed on an iPad.
A workaround would be to download the You Tube app > YouTube for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad on the iTunes App Store

Hi, i had the same problem and tried this,
Somehow iTunes is tied to Safari. Try this:
Someone mentioned to clear all website data and history in safari, stupid but it was either this or the below that fixed it
or this,
Disable Wi-Fi Networking Services
Many users have reported that they’ve solved their issues by disabling Wi-Fi Networking under Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services. This only relates to your location being used for Wi-Fi Networking, so it doesn’t disable Wi-Fi entirely.
Please let me know if it works.

How do you stop multiple Youtube videos from playing at the same time?

As of a few days ago, when I click on a youtube video, as the commercial begins to play, you can begin to hear multiple/different commercials playing at the same time. After the commercials, the same issue occurs with the main video--multiple videos are being played at the same time and are not in sync. I've updated all my plug ins and have tried the suggestion posted in the forum provided in the link below in which someone else has expressed the same issue, but nothing has worked so far. Does anyone know what can be done?
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/5Lnikma4UqM

Are you loading those videos as Flash or HTML5? It is possible to prevent videos from playing until you click something with Flashblock for Flash or Stop Tube HTML5 for HTML5. You can also stop the commercials with Adblock Plus with an Easylist subscription.

Youtube video stops playing after 11 seconds

Mac Pro / Mountain Lion 10.8.2 / Flash 11.4 - YouTube videos stop playing after 11 secs. Only just started happening last week - around time when I installed latest Lion upgrade but this may be a red herring. Tried uninstalling Flash and reinstalling with no change. Checked/emptied cache.

There are several topics with similar symptoms, but I don't think anybody has found an answer yet, as it only occurs on some few systems.
What I would try if I encountered the same problem:
try disable Hardware Acceleration (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337)
try update the graphics drivers (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765)

How to stop youtube videos from playing after restart

every time I restart firefox (currently 24.1.1 or 14.0.1) any tabs with youtube videos start playing and I have to wait until after restart is complete before I can find it/them.
is there a way to stop this?

I don't know of a way to stop auto-play on restart only. There are some extensions that can stop auto-play in general (i.e., all the time). I haven't tried any of them myself, but it looks as though these might help:
