Rented HD Movie - Video cannot be played because format incompatible

Tonight rented HD movie American Rhapsody HD
Download & autorisation ok
When attempt to play
get this video cannot be played because format is incompatible
with apple tv
Have Apple tv ver 2.1
After many tries gave up and rented movie in regular format which woked fine
Will probably be double billed unless apple gets and responds to my messages
Why this problem. Have rented other HD movies no problem before
Thanks

You can't watch any trailers at all from the purchase page, but you can play them all from the trailers page.
Your movie has completely downloaded but won't play and the tv reports it is in an unrecognised format.
Correct.
I would have considered that you could have simply had your movie corrupted in some way during download if playing it was the only problem. I wouldn't have thought that the preview from the purchase/rental page would have been from the same source as the trailer page (but I could be wrong), which makes this rather strange.
Indeed. Previews on purchase page are in standard resolution and none of them play. Both HD and standard resolution cinematic trailers play no problem.
Do you have any issues playing your own content, podcasts or you tube.
I can play music, see photos, play audio and video podcasts (HD included). Youtube works too.
How is the tv connected to the internet, how is it connected to the tv.
The device is connected to the TV via HDMI cable and over wifi to internet.
Instead of just restarting it, have you tried pulling every cable from it leaving it for 30 seconds and then powering it up again.
This is exactly what I did when I restarted it.

Youtube videos are not playing back

Youtube videos are not playing back in Safari 5.1.7. I've also checked this in Firefox 16.0.2.
I am running OS 10.6.8.
Why is this happening? I need this capabilitiy for my work efforts.
Thanks (in advance)!

I'm having similar problems to you all. Chrome and Firefox will play YT videos back perfectly. But for some reason certain users' entire channels that were working fine in Safari on Thhursday 1st Nov 2012 had stopped working by the next day! After upgrading Flash and resetting the cache etc it was a bit better but still some not working. I then downloaded the 6.0.2 update (again after a bit of aggro as some error message kept popping up, then after a while it worked ok). Now still some videos refuse to play in Safari. Latest FF browser seems OK and not too slow. I have always liked Safari though and am a bit annoyed that I've had to to make FF my default as it's a bit ugly. It may be a YT problem rather than Apple. Once upon a time in the hazy crazy days of Tiger and Leopard I had no Apple problems. Now lots of very minor but basic issues keep popping up!

YouTube videos do not play

Hi All,
Before I pull the plug on FireFox, I'll try once more. YouTube Videos do not play. They start then stop with the cryptic error message "An error has occurred.... Other videos play fine. YouTube videos play fine on that other browser. I've tried all the suggestions in this forum, my PlugIns were uninstalled and re-installed, Firefox was uninstalled and re-installed and No, I do not live in India. Anybody have any idea what's wrong. What's Google doing that Mozilla can't figure out?

Do you have the latest version of Flash Player? Download Flash Player at get.adobe.com/flashplayer and install it. Also, is your internet slow? Try changing your quality on the video to low when the video starts to see if it does the same thing.

Youtube videos doesn't play until fully loaded

Youtube videos doesn't play until they are fully loaded. It doesn't work for ANY streamed video, not just Youtube. It happens on both Firefox and IE. I tried to uninstall Flash and re-install it, but it didn't help. The only thing that solves it is restarting the computer, but it just returns after some time.
How can I fix it?

Hi, This is the info on the hardware acceleration and system requirements. http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html
The video card affects playback:Although Flash Player can display high-quality video and images by itself, hardware-accelerated scaling uses the video or graphics card on your computer to display images and video more clearly and quickly than Flash Player can on its own.
Not everyone can use it and that's why turning it off helps. Since you have it turned off, then this no longer affects you.
They may be some add on in the browser that is causing this. Kaspersky had been using a URL Advisor that is an "extension"
but whether you have it I don't know. In IE, in the manage add ons, look for "Show"(very light text) and look in all 4 categories for it.
In FF, it may be in the extensions. I'd look in all, addons, plugins & extenstions.
If you find it, disable it. If you don't find it, then all I could suggest is to disable all IE add ons except Shockwave Flash Object and Java and see it there is an improvement. Then do the same with FF.
Hope you find out what is causing it.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Youtube videos don't play after upgrading from 3.x to 4.0.1.

Youtube videos no longer play after upgrading from Firefox 3.x to the new 4.0.1.
The youtube page loads completely but the video never starts.
Firefox displays the page like its done downloading the video, but no video.
It displays as "done" loading the page with no activity in the page tab or bottom bar... but the video screen is black. Everything but the video loads.

Hi There
I seem to have experienced the same problem, after applying the APEX 4.0.2 patch, my theme produced errors on the new type of date picker. I use the Bravo theme.
I am now trying to purchase the Delta theme, but unfortunately I see today on the Apex-Themes website that the themes are not available to purchase anymore.
Did you manage to resolve your issue? And do you maybe by any chance know where I can get hold of the Delta theme now?
Regards
Marissa

Log in to the Developer forum. You will find instructions on how to install the lastest beta. Your problem is the beta you have installed has expired. All of them did on October 5; you will find hundreds of threads discussing this. If you have a beta it is assumed that you will continue as a beta tester, so a simple update using iTunes will not work.
If you no longer want to be a beta tester install the GM 7.0.2 by restoring from iTunes using DFU mode.

Embedded YouTube videos do not play on my Mac Mini

Embedded YouTube videos don't play in non-YouTube web pages. I can click the link in the top of the video to be taken directly to YouTube, and I can watch the video there, but when I click the big Play button in the middle of the video window, I just get a black rectangle.
I tried uninstalling Flash player as suggested in another thread, rebooted my machine, and reinstalled Flash player, but that did not fix the problem. This is a non-Flash player problem that Apple should look into. I have not tried this on other browsers to see if I have the same problem there or not, as I do not use other browsers besides Firefox. I would rather not have to use another browser just so that I can watch embedded YouTube videos. I would prefer if Apple (or another knowledgeable user) can post the solution to the problem. Thanks!

In Firefox, click Tools>Add-ons. Make sure the Shockwave Flash plugin is enabled and "Always activated".
If that fails, see: How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X in the Adobe Forums. That will clear out the pluigins and allow a fresh install with the new plugin.

Certain youtube videos won't play in Firefox

Firefox 20.0.1, windows 7, flashplayer up to date.
Certain youtube videos won't play. The advert beforehand plays, and then the video just displays a black screen, no loading, trying to skip to a later time in the video doesn't work. It seems to be certain youtube users whose videos won't play, users whose videos I was able to watch only yesterday. The featured video on the user's channel is watchable, but not when opened separately.
IE won't show the affected videos either.

In addition to these symptoms, I've noticed that I can view these troubled videos on my cellphone just fine, but neither my XP or Win7 machine, which have all software updated can view. So if it was on youtubes side, it wouldn't work on my phone either.

Can i capture and record a youtube video that is playing on my screen using quicktime?

How can i capture and record a youtube video that is playing on my screen using quicktime?

Hi Paul, QuickTime X can record video and here is the tutorial for you: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5882?viewlocale=en_US. I'm wondering why you don't just download it using some free YouTube downloader, easy and fast.

Hey dylanburks12,
It sounds like you are seeing issues when attempting to sync videos to your iPod. I have an article that will help explain some possible situations regarding this issue:

Video cannot be played in iPhone4 itself

Dear All,
I am using the Camera application in iPhone4 to record a short video (~60s), it can be played right after I record it. I has power off the iPhone during travelling and I found that the video cannot be played in iPhone4 at night when I back home. (It will show "This movie could not be played." when i click into the Albums->Camera Roll.
In addition, after connect it to notebook, iTunes can recognized the phone but there is no pop up for exporting the video/photos (ps: I am using Windows XP)
Does anyone know what causing this problem and how to fix it?
Or does anyone know how to export the video to notebook (Windoes XP)?
Many thanks for helping me on this.
Thanks.

I'm having the same problem. I didn't have this problem with the previous version of garage band.

Youtube video is not playing on my macbook pro laptop. I have norton anti virus and firewall installed on it.

youtube video is not playing on my mac pro laptop. Just a blank screen shows up where the video should be playing. I have norton anti virus and firewall installed on the laptop. Could it have something to do with it?

unless you have a partition for another operating system, such as Windows or Linux, most mac users would agree that any a/v software is completly unnecesary and will do more harm than good. There is a free a/v in the appstore called "ClamXav. Have you installed all software updates and also have you tried youtube using different browsers (chrome, safari, opera, etc)?

This Video Cannot be Played

Every time I try to play a video on my new G3s iPhone I get an error message "This Movie Cannot be Played" This happens on YouTube, TV.Com, or UStream. No video will play from the internet.

Don't you love when someone asks a question in forums, then never checks back to post (or checks back, but don't leave a trace that they were here)? Anyway...
Yes - You need to use the YouTube app on your homepage - if you go to YouTube via the Safari browser, it is trying to run the full version of Flash, which isn't yet supported by the iPhone (seems it will be supported.... When H E double toothpicks freezes over). Sigh - I wants my Hulu!!!
