Embedded YouTube videos not playing in Safari OS X

Hello
Recently, I've had trouble playing embedded videos (for example on tumblr or on Laughing Squid). I can see the space the YouTube box is meant to be in, but it's blank. I can play them on YouTube though. This started before the Yosemite update.
I use AdBlock but it happens whether it's on or off. I've updated my Flash, cleared my Flash and Safari cache but to no avail.
This happens both on my MacBook Air and on my desktop, both running Yosemite and fully updated Flash etc.
Does anyone know if this is a widespread bug or if I can fix it easily?
Thank you!

Ok, I fixed it. Go to some embedded Flash video, click to run and then right click to get Global Settings for Flash. Go into Storage and make sure you aren't blocking any data from being stored on your computer. At the very least choose the "ask me" setting. (For good measure I also went into Advanced and clicked to Delete All Data associated with Flash. But when I restored Block for data storage the videos stopped working, so that seems to be the answer.) I'd be interested to hear if this works for others.

YouTube Videos not working in Safari on iPad 2

When I use YouTube in Safari on my iPad 2, I noticed that the official music videos are not working in YouTube. I get an error message which states "Video cannot be played on mobile." Below is a link to the all time most watched videos. Not music videos (Video # 5) play fine on my iPad but the official music videos (Videos 1 - 4) do not.

Thanks

These videos are restricted and can not be played on a mobile device... These videos have come up before in this forum. The record companies have placed a flag on these video so they can't be played on a mobile device. If you look at the URL for the video you will notice it is a mobile web page... http://m.YouTube...
Anyone can place this flag in their video on YouTube. The flag can be set in the settings/edit for each video.
If you have flash on your mobile device and don't go to the mobile web page you can play the video.

Videos not playing in Safari

Hello,
I cannot seem to get any videos other than youtube to play on my macbook pro. I just updated my system and nothing seems to be working. help!
I am currently running OS X version 10.9.5 and safari version 7.0.6
These are two examples of websites that the videos will not play on, they just show up as black boxes.

I would love some assistance on this. thanks!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Youtube videos not playing.

Since updating to Firefox 5 I can no longer play Youtube videos. I get a black box with no audio or video. Youtube does work on Safari. I've updated Adobe Flash, with no improvement.

I think it's the flash player in general as I get problems on other sites, and it's only when flash is involved. Strangely on youtube i get no problems in 720p and 1080p, if I'm watching something in 480p or less and I change something on the player, like pause etc, it will just hang. The sound will continue but the video will freeze. It will also completely lock up Firefox until the video ends. This happened soon after I updated to FF5. I'm betting Adobe is to blame.
Chrome works fine, downloading the videos and watching them in something like VLC is fine.
What gets me is that it seems everyone is getting different problems. I'm not getting this black box problem.

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 videos not loading in Safari?

Youtube videos load in the Youtube app but don't load in Safari/Atomic. I can see the screen cap and press play, but the video never loads (the spinning circle spins forever or disappears). I can load HTML5 videos on other sites with no issues. Anyone know how to fix this?
I've tried:
-powering off then on
-syncing to PC
-turning off auto-brightness
-youtube.com/html5 and clicked "Join the HTML5 Beta"
-clearing history, cookies, cache in Safari Settings
My iPad is on 4.3.3.

If you will provide URL for videos, then we can test them for you.
What pray tell is Safari/Atomic?

YouTube videos not playing in either IE or Chrome

As of this morning, most YouTube videos are not playing. After the advertisement (which always plays properly), the player goes black with no controls. Right-clicking shows "Movie not loaded".
This happens in both IE10 and Chrome on Windows 7 64-bit (I'm using 32-bit browsers.)
I have followed the instructions in several other threads here. Flash has been uninstalled completely and reinstalled. (Current version 11.8.800.168). Browser, Flash, and Macromedia caches have all been deleted and hardware acceleration disabled. Add-ons/plug-ins/Active X have been variously disabled and enabled. The https hack likewise does nothing.
What is going on?

My first guess would be that something is interfering with Flash from loading the content properly. I would look at your antivirus/firewall software to start. An easy way to test this would be to start your computer in safe mode with networking enabled. This should stop all third party services from running.

If Flash starts working, the next step would be determine what else is being loaded on your computer that might be interfering.

Embedded youtube videos not playing

Running Windows 64bit with Internet Explorer 10 and Flash version 11.6.602.171
Youtube, Facebook no problems.
I think the videos are embedded with the new iframe only and do not play.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

For the life of me, I cannot find the settings on this version of Flash.
I have the Flash Player Settings Manager, but no Global Storage Manager.
As for the sites

Or from the sources:

As for Amazon videos, I have found that if I clear my cookies and run the video on a product intro like say a metal detector. I can watch it once, but if I go to another product and try to watch it's video, I get nothing but a loading bar, then go back to the first video and again, nothing but a loading bar until I clear the cookies.

Youtube videos not playing. e__e

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!!!
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0
See that ^ IT DOESN'T DO A DAMN THING!!!!!
The video is pointless why have it on that page when your on that page to get a video to work?!?
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 not playing on standalone Safari browser iOS 8

I have a very strange problem with an embedded youtube player on a web app, I am working on. The web app is "mobile capable" so when saved on a user homescreen, it opens up in a chromeless safari browser.
So here is my issue:
The YouTube player is embedded on one of the pages in the web app using an iframe, and when the "play" button is clicked and the app is open in the chromeless safari window, the video loads forever and never plays....however when this scenario is replicated in the regular safari browser everything works fine.
This started happening only after the iOS 8 update. This is happening on an iPhone 5 running iOS 8, and it previously worked fine on the same iPhone 5 under iOS 7. Additionally, I tested the app on an iPhone 5c running iOS 7, and an iPad Air running iOS 7 and everything works fine.
Side Note: I even changed the implementation to embed using an object instead of an iframe, and the same problem occurs with either one.

This is a significant problem if Apple is going to allow developers to deploy web applications that can be saved as a chromless web app.
My question is, who is responsible for fixing this issue? is this something YouTube needs to address? or Apple?
looking at the error console I am not able to troubleshoot the issue as I am not able to see any errors firing when attempting to play an embedded player.
i believe this issue may also be effecting other html5 code as well on other sites.
Apple PLEASE respond.
