You Tube Videos on the Site Not Loading

#1 Post by PHXPhlyer » Sun Aug 22, 2021 6:10 am

All of the YouTube videos initially show up here but after loading they gray out and show a sad face. ~X(
Cleared cookies to no avail.
Any ideas? :-?

They are pushing out adverts for shite now non stop at the beginning of each vid.Check out viewpure.com.This site stops the advert in its tracks and allows you to watch the vid.

PHX I'm not seeing the problem here. JH has posted a youtube video at viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6625. Apart from having some pretty girls in it, you'd die of boredom watching it, but can you view that one?

Boac:
JH's video does the same as all of the others. It loads and you see the still of the video briefly then it grays out and the sad face icon appears. ~X(
I will next relaunch Chrome and if that doesn't work I will reboot the computer.
Reboot is a last resort as it takes forever to relaunch.

Firstly I'd try another browser. This may help with Chrome https://www.lifewire.com/get-youtube-wo ... me-4178599

Did everything that Boac and Lifewire suggested...No Joy. ~X(
Finally bit the bullet and rebooted computer and endured the interminable wake-up time. :-w #:-S
That seemed to work for the videos but the computer runs like it is constipated even with SSD. ~X(

Pretty much what my brother said about NZ when advising me not to live there after I had waxed lyrical about the place. =))
