You Tube problem!

Post by **Trev Clark** » 19 May 2007, 22:18

I cannot see all these interesting videos you all talk about, I have a you tube account. However, the video loads and after about 3 seconds the whole TV disappears :shock: , I hear the audio but stare at an empty area on the web page.....this is very annoying, it used to work fine

Recently there was an update of the shockwave player to version 10. something... I don't know if that could be your problem?

Thanks Dan but there is NOTHING on the site about that or where to get!!!
Even the help movie disappears

Trev

I get that sometimes....but a reboot always clears it :think:

I take it you have this all the time?

It might also be that you are lacking a video codec ... since you hear the sound ...

Do a search on "no video sound ok"

Right clicking on a YouTube video tells me I have Flash Player 9.

According to http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/

I've got Flash Player 9.0.28.0 installed in IE6 and YouTube works ok.

Go here to download a current version:

GarryR has sent me a number of vid links of late and all I saw was some psycodelic poop. My Windows Media Player (on the flying pc) was v9 and a recent poke in the eye has shoved this to 11 (I think). Now.. all the bits I couldn't see before are clear as a bell :shock: Sounds like a codec issue Trev. Get the latest of everything and pray

Thanks guys, got the new flash player, but it made no difference. I just lose the little TV after 3 seconds of loading and all I am left with is sound.

Is it a download speed problem?

We assume everyone has broadband - Trev's link is donkey-powered.

So the video gives up but the sound still plays since it is lower bandwidth.

Edit: perhaps not since Trev says it used to work fine - scratch that idea.

Make that a BURRO

, no I have 512kbpm broadish band that costs me about a fiver a month. The village is now getting the real thing but I cannot justify 20 odd quid extra.
I solved the problem by finding a download you tube site that plays the vids (without downloading) without any problems.....odd :think:
