Can't view a video

[pepperj]

When somebody posts up a video I just see a blank screen where the video is.
I can see what has been written in a post-but for the actual video just a big blank space-as this example.


















Question: Is there a setting/permission that has been turned off?
I can view videos on other sites it seems or Youtube.
If I link a video everyone can view it except me.
Any suggestions from the tech minded folks out there?

Sorry to hear about your problem. Try the following and let me know if they worked.

1. IF you are using a cell phone - make sure you are using the latest and greatest version of Tapatalk. IF you are using the latest version of TableTalk - we know that isn't the problem.

2. IF you AREN'T using a cell phone - try using a different Browser. If a different browser works fine - we know it is the browser and I would suggest you clear out cache, etc. and try to non-working browser again.

Let us know...

I can view everything on my phone.
It seems just on the desktop-Imac
I get this message when looking at the JavaScript console

This would be from one page that I'd be viewing-there was that many videos
I can link a music video-but not see it once it's posted
If I go into edit, then I can view the script of the link.

Dang - don't have an apple - so, I searched the net for problems loading youtube on a Mac. Here are just a few...

Why are YouTube videos not playing on my Mac?

What's wrong with YouTube on Mac?

Thanks for the suggestions on this issue.

I clear all history/caches multiple times a day.
Certainly after browsing the internet.

I can view a video on YT, and on other sites.
Seems to be on this forum mainly.
I must of had a brain fart, click, on some pop up window.
Now trying to understand what happened.

I had same issue on my Mac. Just started today. Cleared history/caches. Now I can see YouTube video post again. Strange that it happen to both of us. We must of both accidentally click on the same pop up window?

They are updating the sites software - you might have got caught in the update. Eitherway - let me know if it happens again and I will notify ADMIN. Sorry for the problem gang.

I wish it was that easy of a fix-tried that-still not being able to view.

I will notify ADMIN that members are having problems viewing YouTube vids now. Sorry for the problem gang.

pepperj - I also use iMac. Can you send a link to one of the threads this is happening on?

 

[JohnDroid]

Can you please let me know if this is fixed now that we are on the new software?

You may want to repost the Youtube link in a new post to test it, as I looked at your post and it has no video/embed code in it at all.

 

[pepperj]

It seems to have sorted its self out with the new site configuration.
Thanks for all the suggestions
