Phil Starr Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I've noticed lot's of blank spaces where You tube should be displayed, The ordinary links work but not the ones where you can see the video on the post. Any ideas why this might be happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I can see the above video on my MacBook, no problem. Something strange going on somewhere if some can and some can't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpup Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Works fine on an iPhone though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SH73 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Works fine on Android. But the mobile never allows me to post a video only the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I can see the above video no issue on Macbook/Safari. Tried a different browser? Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fftc Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Works fine with Ubuntu and Firefox too. Weird, as they usually have issues that no-one else does! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) YouTube videos work fine on my desktop Mac, but are invisible on my MacBook Pro. Both are running the same version of El Capitan and Safari 9.1 I was getting a message recently overlaid on the videos saying that the YouTube API has been depreciated - this is the one that the forum software uses to display videos in posts. I suspect that this is at the root of the problem. Edited March 30, 2017 by BigRedX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Starr Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 No, doesn't display for me. Could it be something to do with my ancient XP computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 OK for me on a Macbook Pro running Chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Starr Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 Just right clicked on the blank space and it comes up with Movie not loaded about Adobe Flash player 22.0.0.209... I'm wondering if this is to do with Chrome no longer being supported in XP? If so anyone know of a simple fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apeneck Sweeney Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I'm having the same problem on my Mac (OS Sierra) with Safari but have just tried Chrome and the videos are visible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterT Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) [quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1491204460' post='3271103'] I'm wondering if this is to do with Chrome no longer being supported in XP? If so anyone know of a simple fix? [/quote] I shall steer clear of advising you to upgrade a 15+ year old operating system. Oops, too late. Just don't do any online transactions or banking. However, have you tried installing Firefox? Might be worth a shot. Edited April 3, 2017 by MisterT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Starr Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Don't do online banking. I prefer spending that hurts Thanks I was thinking of Firefox, I need to ditch Chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Starr Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 There you go Firefox works, thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
