Youtube not working

LeMans GTR · May 4th, 2008, 8:20 AM

I haven't been able to watch any video on youtube on my computer for the past three days, everything else works fine.

Also, I know it isn't youtube because it works just fine on my Mum's computer.

Thanks in advance.

PS. I've tried restarting, clearing my cache, restarting my connection and refreshing.

Well.. whats the problem?

ABxCD · May 4th, 2008, 8:48 AM

re-install the flash-player maybe? check another browser?

LeMans GTR · May 4th, 2008, 8:56 AM

^ Still not working

But thanks for the suggestion

So what's actually the problem? Does the page not load or the video not load or what?

LeMans GTR · May 4th, 2008, 9:16 AM

^ The video either just sits there with the loading circle thing with the old youtube player or displays the "This video is no longer available" with the new player.

If you use Firefox, drag this link: QTYouTube to the bookmarks toolbar, click it when viewing a video on youtube, and tell us what happens. If things go well, it should open up the video in the Quicktime plugin.

^ Doesn't work, the "Server Not Found" error message comes up.

chaos386 · May 4th, 2008, 1:04 PM

Seems like your computer can't access Youtube's download servers. Do you have any firewall software running?

LeMans GTR · May 5th, 2008, 3:30 AM

Yes.

I'm running Trend Micro PC Cillin 2008.

Who is your ISP? It could be due to them...

jeffy777 · May 5th, 2008, 4:28 AM

Are you using some weird proxy?

Telstra, but I know it isn't them because everything works fine on my PS3 and my Mum's laptop

I don't think so.

yuchungman · May 5th, 2008, 12:14 PM

same here. When I watch youtube from linked player, it always say the video is no longer available, and when I watch at youtube, It won't load itself

bafranksbro · May 6th, 2008, 4:16 AM

Yeah, I've gotten "This video is no longer available" a couple of times on embedded Youtube videos but when I actually go to Youtube the video works.

LeMans GTR · May 8th, 2008, 7:56 AM

I ran another check and somehow, now I can watch the High-Quality versions of the youtube videos but not the regular flash ones.

public · March 13th, 2009, 12:51 PM

*Bump*

I upgraded to FF3, and embedded videos now give me "ERROR: If you're seeing this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed." YouTube isn't down and I have Flash installed. What gives?

awdrifter · March 14th, 2009, 2:53 AM

Try adding &fmt=18 at the end of the youtube link. Sometimes I get the "Video is no long available" error on the normal link, but the HQ link still works.

'Tube works everywhere else, but embedded stuff on this forum doesn't. This is what I need to fix. images/smilies/smile.gif

I had some problems with Chrome but they seemed to have fixed themselves - odd that.
