YouTube videos not opening

For the past few days, i ve got trouble with playing videos on YouTube. The error msg "Sorry, this file can't be opened on ur phone" appears and reappears. The videos, i have watched 2 days before also weirdly behave like this. The problem exist on all the browsers (IE, UC, SURFY) and almost YouTube apps that i tried. Other video streaming websites like vube.com are working fine. Now don't ask me to restart, dismantle and all, i ve tried them and also don't ask me to hard reset.

Hi guys,
Welcome to the forum!  
Does this happen whether you're using the mobile or desktop version of the YouTube website? For the built in Internet Explorer, you can go to Settings > Applications > Internet Explorer > web preference to check. For the other mobile browsers, you can check the apps' settings. This link may also give you more troubleshooting steps to try: Sorry,we can't play this type of file on your phone..
Let us know how it will go.

    Hi Tavionval,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues with the YouTube app itself crashing or not launching, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • Youtube videos not loading.

    Youtube videos not loading in WiFi, there is dots circling coming forever. BTW how long do I have to charge I've kept for 4 hours and it is still charging.

    here are the basic workaround instructions to get video streaming working over Wi-Fi:
    1. Go to Menu->Settings->Configuration->Personal Settings->Options->Add new->Web->Back->Options->Activate
    2. Repeat step 1. for Streaming and Access point
    3. Restart phone
    4. Go to Settings->Configuration->Default config. settings and select Personal config.
    5. Settings->Connectivity->WLAN First should be also checked.

  • Embedded Youtube videos not working on Chrome 23 / Flash player 11.5.31.2

    For the past couple of weeks, I've not been able to play any Youtube videos that appear as embedded videos on other websites.  The small player appears with the still frame from the video and all the controls, but on pressing play, the video goes blank and won't play (the slider stays stuck at 0:00).  Nor does the full screen button work - the player just stays where it is within the third party website.  This problem has occurred across more than one website, but all sites still work in Internet Explorer.
    The main Youtube site is still working.
    I have tried all relevant steps here, to no avail (except increasing memory for a particular website, since not just one website is affected):
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html
    Details:
    Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit
    Google Chrome 23.0.1271.64 m
    Flash Player 11,5,31,2
    Any suggestions please?

    Thank your for your reply, Chris.
    I installed the newest version of Chrome, and the videos I have
    embedded on my blog are now working.

  • Youtube videos not working in safari

    running os x 10.7.2 and for some reason youtube videos not playing.  just started happening.  black box is all i get.  youtube works fine in Chrome & Firefox.

    I found a fix that worked on my computer. Go to Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Remove all website data. This got my YouTube functioning properly again.
    I hope this will help you too!

  • Youtube videos only open with quicktime--small screen/no audio. Flash works with Safari, not Firefox.

    I've updated flash, reset Firefox, restarted Mac. Youtube videos will not load with Flash. They open with Quicktime in a 1x2 inch box of low res images with no audio.

    Open up your preferences/Options and open up applications. From here check the preferences for youtube files. In about:permissions you can check the preferences for youtube.com as well.

  • Youtube video not working in powerpoint

    i put a youtube video in a powerpoint.  Got message i needed the flashplayer.  hit websupport and it says successful installed.  When I try to view the video, I still get the same message.

    The same thing is happening to me.  I'm working on putting together my final powerpoint presentation for a lecture series that I am starting in July.  Previously I found the fix by deleting the phrase version=3 part, but that no longer works.  I am not sure what happened.  I reinstalled flash player to no success.  I tried opening up previously working powerpoints and get the same error that I need to download the newest version of Flash player.  I'm not sure what happened since last week cause that was when I know my presentations were working.  Let me know if you figure anything out.

  • YOUTUBE video not running in safari 7.0.5, it keep saying error n lack screen appears .

    Since last 3 days youtube video is not running in my safari 7.0.5 - OS X 10.9.4, I tried all things but still the issue remains, what should i do ?

    Unless you mention exactly what you have tried that didn't work, we have no way of knowing.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
    Not empty the Safari cache.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
    Now try a video. If that doesn't help, back to your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a video.

  • YouTube video not working

    I used to watch youtube videos everyday on my ipad2, it worked well until a few days ago.
    I can see thumbnail of the video fine, but when it started to load after a while it said " an error occurred , pls try later",
    I tried it repeatedly with the same result, i also try to open it through my iPhone5, iphone4s , Mac , but it's not working anywhere, it's only working on my laptop , but not with internet explorer , only on google chrome....
    This really confuse me since a few days ago everything was fine
    I have tried reset ipad , restarting it, reset my wifi connection, remove all website data, deleted history n cookies....updated my ipad , updated safari, updated flash player.... Etc

    Contact YouTube and see if something is wrong on their end. Your's is the fourth post in two  days with the same problem.

  • Embedded YouTube videos not working

    Hello,
    Embedded YouTube videos used to work fine up until a few days ago but they have stopped working in all browsers. I use Safari, Firefox and Netscape Navigator.
    I am using Mac OS X (10.6.3) and have just conducted a software update and installed a fresh version of flash. This can't be a browser problem because it is not working on any of the browsers. I am having problems viewing embedded YouTube videos on such sights as Blip.fm, Facebook, etc but they used to work fine a couple of weeks ago.
    Is this a problem with flash? or Mac OS X?

    Another me too. In particular the symptoms are this:
    + any YouTube video embedded within a webpage loads the poster frame and the controls, but after clicking the play button only shows the progress indicator briefly before showing "An error occurred, please try again later." within the video frame.
    + the same YouTube videos play fine on the YouTube site.
    + other Internet video plays fine, embedded or not.
    + when the error occurs Safari reports "One error in opening the page. For more information, choose Window > Activity".
    + the Activity window shows "forbidden" for http://v13.lscache4.c.youtube.com/videoplayback?ip=0.0.0.0&sparams=id%2Cexpire%2 Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Calgorithm%2Cburst%2Cfactor%2Coc%3AU0dWSVhMVV9FSkNNNl9QRllH &fexp=900028&algorithm=throttle-factor&itag=34&ipbits=0&burst=40&sver=3&expire=1 274817600&key=yt1&signature=C15947474FA80C9A1B9DA597103C5FF7D621A478.0C1490DE456 5D519F602B0043A4E1F9D800417A0&factor=1.25&id=c3e8886e8b459334
    + the same URL downloads fine when visiting YouTube directly, except the signature value is different.
    I have tested the following:
    + the same computer worked fine a week or so ago
    + other computers on the same shared ADSL connection work fine
    + Firefox works fine (contrary to other's experiences)
    + deleting com.apple.Safari.plist doesn't help
    + disabling/enabling the "Enable Plug-ins" preference doesn't help
    + deleting Preferences/Macromedia folder doesn't help
    + reinstalling Flash doesn't help
    + empty cache doesn't help
    Tis quite perplexing.

  • Youtube videos not working

    not sure if i'm posting this in the right place... sorry if i am.
    basically youtube movies not playing, if i were to click on a video on the homepage it won't play. or if i click on a related video, still nothing, just a black screen, no audio, video, nothing. they only play if i were to click on the users channel.
    now the only way i got a video to play was uninstall flash and reinstall flash and whatever video i clicked on would play but if i were to go to another video same results as above, black screen, no audio or video. any advice, do i have to change the settings or something.
    thanks in advance for any help,
    Royce

    Hi, I was having that same problem.
    So go to: Applications/Safari>right click on the mouse>Get info>Click to open in 32bit.
    It worked for me. You can also enter Youtube's HTML5 webpage. The controls will appear again, but it's not as good as the Flash website and many videos haven't been changed to H264 format. I hope youtube changes it's entire website to HTML5 stuff, Flash is not good.

  • Youtube video not working in firefox.

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having problems playing youtube videos on firefox. Yet I don't seem to have any problem playing flash supported videos on other sites, but whenever I try to play a video on youtube all I get a is a black box. Is there any suggestion I didn't have this problem before.
    I'am currently using Firefox 24.0 Browser which is upto date, and the plugin I use to watch any flash enabled video is Shockwave Flash 11.9.900.117 r900 .

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Why are YouTube videos not loading properly on Safari?

    YouTube videos on Safari are not loading properly.  It is as if the YouTube viewing window loads right-justified on the screen. Which ends up being like almost a perfect square on the screen, with the unfortunate result that part of the video is truncated at the right.  The same exact video on Chrome loads just fine.
    I've just updated Flash and the problem persists.
    Here's a screenshot.
    The right part of the image shows a "Google 414 That's an Error" along with the description "The requested URL/adi/N8380.280090.ACCORDANTMEDIA/B7762596.101545485... is too large to process. That’s all we know."
    Is anyone else having the same issue?

    Hi Carlos ...
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
    Back to Safari. Press Command + Option + E to empty the Safari cache.
    Quit and relaunch Safari, try a video.
    And make Allow all other plug-ins is selected in Safari > Preferences > Security
    Command ,  (comma) will open the Safari preferences pane for you, or from your Safari menu click Safari > Preferences
    If nothing above helped, try troubleshooting Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
