Congrats on your first post, manangowda. Have you already tried the solution given by hpholm? When you say "8.1 update", are you referring to the Lumia Cyan update? Does the issue happens to all the videos that you are trying to watch? Also, does it happen regardless of the connection you are using? 
We'll wait for your response.

  • 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.
    <hr>
    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 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:

  • YouTube videos stopped playing on V 37.0

    Running 37.0 Firefox on Windows 7 - 64 bit. All updates updated. Flash is 17,0,0,134 and checks out at Adobe site.
    This afternoon YouTube videos stopped playing. In the center of the frame are circling dots. The video appears to have loaded, as I can move the time slider and see frames at the various times, I just does not play, just gives the circling "loading" dots. YouTube runs fine in IE. In Foxfire, if I go to other sites, like news and videos/ads play just fine.
    I disabled all add-ons, set Shockwave & Flash to "always activate" and still the YouTube videos will not play. Seem to download, just not play.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Please also consider an add on for a work around to change HTML5 to the default, however this should have been fixed in version 37.0.1 are you still seeing this issue?

  • Youtube videos only play properly at 240p

    I've had an annoying problem for several weeks.
    Youtube videos only play properly at 240p.  At any rate higher, they are garbled.  Audio is fine, but the video is garbled.
    Any ideas?
    Tried uninstalling and reinstalling.  No luck.
    This happens with IE and FF.
    Thanks,.

    Try to
    disable hardware acceleration (Flash Player Settings);
    update the drivers for your graphics/video/display adapter.

  • I can't get YouTube videos to play

    I was "cleaning" up some odd files that I noticed were on the hard drive and must have eliminated something important.  Don't ask me what I deleted! Anyway, now I can't play any video that links to YouTube.  I get the "Page cannot be located" error.  So after some searching, I found a post that said I needed to uninstall/reinstall Flash Player.  So I've now done the uninstall.  But when I go to the Adobe.com website and start the download for the latest version that'll work on my setup, again I get the "Page cannot be located" error.  When I try to go to customer service on the Adobe.com website, I also get this same "Page cannot be located" error.  Talk about frustrating!
    Does anyone have a suggestion?  I do still have an older version of Flash Player ".dmg" file on the computer (version 11 vs. currently available version 14) and wonder if I should install the older version and then see if it will update to the current version...
    Please help!

    I had the same problem when I updated Flash last time.  Later versions of Flash screwed up all YouTube videos on a Mac still running Snow Leopard. 
    The last version of Flash I've used that works with Snow Leopard and YouTube (and almost any other web video) is 12.0.0.77.  This may be due to a Safari issue with Snow Leopard--I'm running 5.1.7.  Adobe says you have to change your Safari prefs/security to "Allow all plugins" and "Allow Java", but neither of these prefs appear in my version. 
    It's unfortunate, because Flash updates address security issues. 

  • All youtube videos stopped playing suddenly today

    ALL of them. At once.. Just, few minutes ago I watched one, but then with no explicit or implicit updates they report 'Error happened' in Safari 8 (Yosemite).
    Everything is fine in Chrome under the same login.
    Computer has been restarted with no success. All Web Sites Data has been cleaned up with no success
    NO Safari extensions are installed.
    Is this a result of REMOTE activity affected my Safari? Was it Apple?

    I was having the same issues: no YouTube videos. I went a bit deeper and found that videos I had watched before was playing just fine.
    Installed the "latest and greatest" flash player. The problem with YouTube continued.
    Opened up Firefox and went to a video that was causing the issue (blank video area, comment area always "loading"). It played fine. Stopped the video after the ad and about a minute of the actual video.
    Then I quit Firefox and went into Safari and hit that video that was giving me issues. It began playing right where I left off in Firefox. Okay, I know that when I sign into my google account, and go to YouTube, it keeps track of what I watch and allows me to switch platforms/apps and continue to watch the video where I left off.
    I had a hunch, I went to another video that was causing me issues and the issue persisted. Went to my home page (top sites) in Safari. Quit Safari. Opened Firefox and went to that video in youTube and sure enough, there was an ad at the beginning of it. Played the ad till I could skip the darn thing and played a minute of the video. Quit Firefox and opened Safari, went to YouTube and in my history, went to that video. It played.
    So my takeaway is that there's something askew with the Ads that precede the videos. Safari doesn't "like" them or some such. And since most ads are in flash format, I would hazard a guess that the ads are doing "something" that is stalling Safari.

  • 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.

    I use the new firefox and the new Flash player. Youtube videos aren't working and it's pissing me off badly. I've read that flash player new update is to blame here. I don't know if it really is or not but something is going to have to give here. I get the error screen and everything I've tried doing what they ask you to do in the FAQ's. That didn't help at all just a waste of my time. If someone knows what is going on or knows how to fix this plz tell me!!!

    Again if ANYONE knows why this is happening plz let me know.
    Sorry for spelling and all that tried pissed and just really don't care about it XD

    Did you try disabling protected mode?  or reverting back to a previous version?

  • YouTube videos stop playing/loading after 10-15 seconds

    Starting about 2 weeks ago, YouTube videos no longer play or fully load for me (and, from scanning both here and in google, it appears for LOTS of people on both Macs and PCs). A video will begin to load and play normally for the first 10 to 15 seconds, then simply stop loading or, more accurately, it appears to repeatedly reload that first little segment (if the little slider is accurate), sometimes getting a few additional seconds, but never much beyond 18 or 20 seconds.
    It's happening on pretty much all YouTube videos as well as videos on other web pages (though it's possible they've all been hosted by YouTube anyway).
    I do have current versions of Safari and Adobe Flash installed (and have reinstalled them). I've also cleared my cache and cookies. And I have a good DSL connection that doesn't usually have a bandwidth problem. All was working fine until a couple of weeks ago. I've run diagnostics but didn't see anything obvious.
    Anyone able to offer a possible solution or, at least, a place to look for one?

    I found a solution. It was intended for Lion 10.7.4, but it also worked for 10.6.8. Here it is:
    My Flash Player plug-in would not play videos on YouTube (using Safari in Lion). It turned out that my Safari settings needed to be reset after the recent Lion 10.7.4 and Flash upgrades.  I called Apple tech...
    This is what we did to fix it:
    1. Open Safari.
    2. Go to top left menu, under "Safari" click on "Reset Safari."
    3. UNCHECK the first two boxes, leave the next three checked, plus UNCHECK the next two, and keep the last three checked.
    4. Hit "Reset"
    5. After the reset finishes, Safari will relaunch and you can test Flash by going to YouTube to see that videos will now play.
