You Tube

Bill.....

As of 743 pm pacific time today, still nothing. Sound but no picture. Just the loop of circles showing that it's loading.

My sister couldn't get youtube to work on google chrome but it worked on internet explorer.

Vern (or anyone else)

This is a screen shot from I.Explorer. The numbers on the timeline appeared like this when I moved the mouse across it. Also re-tried again in Firefox and Chrome with the same results.

I apologize to those of you out there who are tired of these inane updates, but I really want to find out what the (Fword) the problem is and what's going on.

Google Chrome (and same thing for Firefox)

Deep Sigh...

Well, I have no idea what else I can do...I've installed, uninstalled and reinstalled things here until I'm blue in the face (NOT a becoming facial color on me), so I sent Google a feedback telling them the situation and what I'm going through here. Of course, I read the disclaimer "we can not answer questions personally", so hopefully anyone else with this problem will also send them feedback. Maybe with enough people complaining, they'll do what's necessary and the problem WILL be rectified.

I use Firefox and have not had any problems.

Are your video card drivers installed correctly? Flash? Shockwave? DirectX?

 

[dirtybuck]

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Flash player more times than I can count. I even tried to uninstall the newest FlashPlayer file and reinstall an older one in its place, but it wont let me.

My computer does automatic updates with Adobe, Java, Apple and one or two other programs. If I remember correctly, I think I got an auto update with Flashplayer and Java last week. Everything was working fine until Wed. night. And that's when all of this came up out of nothing. For all I know, the new update MIGHT possibly be the fly in the ointment that's causing all the problems. I've NOT done anything with Shockwave (I thought that was for sound) or DirectX

How many on here do auto updates on their computers? Using him as an example, is it possible that Vern did the same thing with his computer and his problems are the same result as mine? What about people who've said one browser is working fine, but the other isn't?

Please excuse me for sounding a bit snippy, but this has frustrated me to no extent. (If you all want some interesting reading, go to YouTube Help, find the audio and video play problems and read what's there.)

9:15 PM Monday Night

Still no change!

 

[foraloysius]

There is change for me. I can't view anything at all anymore on my computer with Windows XP no matter what browser. On my minilaptop with Windows 7 Starter I can view everything now in all browsers.

I have all relevant/latest updates for Firefox & IE8 & WinXP, and am not having any trouble viewing YouTube with either one.

 

I've been using a (free) utility, Secunia PSI, to check what software subsystems (Java, Flash, etc.) may need updates.

 

Regards to Java, older versions are not automatically uninstalled when updates are done, but the recommendation is that they *should* be manually uninstalled.  Look through your Add/Remove Programs and uninstall old versions (can't say if that'll help your problem, but it's good housekeeping).

ALLELUIA!! A FIX!

WE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS! Here's what I did.

Go to "My Channels" under your screen name and click on it (or ANY channel for that matter). On the video in the middle of the screen, do a right click, scroll to "settings" and click. If there's a check mark in the box "enable hardware acceleration", click to REMOVE it. You should be back up and running. The person who deserves the credit on this...krazydrama, and his video "YouTube Videos Won't Play After Flash 10 Upgrade".

Now I can stay up for a bit, watch a Golden Girls episode and a few GM Frigidaire washer videos.

Vern, I hope this works for you!

Bill!!!!!

Remind me to give you a big sloppy wet kiss whenever I get to meet you LOL. That totally worked and I thank you VERY much! It was tripping me out! I wasn't able to watch them on the site, but if I went to a video that was posted here on AW.org I was able to watch pretty much anything. But it's working now. Stupid youtube and it's settings changes without notification. Bill YOU ROCK!!!

 

[dirtybuck]

As I said earlier, the person who made the video responsible for this fix is named krazydrama on YouTube. I was just the messenger. I'm glad yours is back up and running also.

 

[countryguy]

Yay it worked for my problem also!  Youtube was working fine on my laptop with windows 7 but on my desktop with Vista, I could not get the controls at the bottom of the video to display (the videos would play OK as long as I clicked the right area on the screen).  Also when I enlarged the videos all I got was a white screen.  That is fixed now also.  Thank you for the tip.

LOL

I was just playin with ya Bill. And although you say you were just the messenger, you at least sent that message instead of keeping it to yourself. That deserves some praise.

 

[dirtybuck]

I'll admit...I also like wet sloppy kisses.

 

[gmmcnair]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

I was having the same problem after I upgraded the Flash on my Ubuntu 10.04. This fixed it and everything is working like new!

For those who have (and haven't had) problems...GROUP HUG!!
