Title: Can't play or post YouTube videos...
Post by: Allhallowsday on May 09, 2015, 10:43:21 PM
Unless embedded somewhere, I cannot play nor post YouTube videos.  I cannot play them there nor post them here. 
https://youtube.com/devicesupport (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKY3scPIMd8#ws) 

If YouTube videos upload, then I think I can "share" them.  They won't upload so I can't share.   :question:

remove the "s" after http.  Then they work fine.

Not the problem at all.

Sorry, you just ran the gamut of my (not-so) helpful suggestions. :teddyr:

RC actually figured this out.

We used to post the url directly in the post like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfiG9Nsnrmc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfiG9Nsnrmc)

Remove the "s" and it used to work: https://youtube.com/devicesupport (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKY3scPIMd8#ws)

Now we get the device unsupported video instead.

But if you look for the "share" button and press it you'll see a differently formatted url that looks like this: https://youtu.be/hfiG9Nsnrmc (https://youtu.be/hfiG9Nsnrmc)

Paste that one into your post instead and remove the "s" and it should work.

Hopefully.

I got all of that, but videos never stop uploading so they don't play and don't show the "share" button.  It worked once for me a couple of days ago posting BILLIE HOLIDAY.  I can't watch youtubes and can't grab from the "share" button because they never stop "uploading".

That worked for us, sorry you can't see it yourself. But according to the link PCs are not affected by the "unsupported device" problem, so I'm not sure what the problem is with you not being able to display it on your computer.

It worked for me too.  If embedded, it will work, but, I cannot view videos at Youtube at all.  I am glad that I was able to embed, but I cannot watch youtube videos at youtube.
