Can't play videos

[flinthunter]

When anybody posts a video on here, all I see is a black box. This has been happening for the last few days and I've seen a few others complain about the same problem while others don't seem to have any problems. Youtube videos play fine on all other forums I view.

Any idea what the problem is?

Interesting...

1. What browser are you using?
2. Are you having problem on SmartPhone or Desktop?
3. Mac or PC?
4. Have you tried viewing Vid on another forum?
5. Please provide URL to a Vid on TN that isn't working for you.

I searched Google and found...

YouTube Black Screen Black Box-YouTube Playback Error Tackled...

Go to tools, options, clear recent history, and only check the 'cache' option, clear now, okay, and then refresh or exit it and open it again. I'm using firefox but I'm sure it would work with other browsers, you'd clear your cache wherever the options for clearing history/cookies are...

My laptop stopped engaged on YouTube. It only does not load the web site wisely. i ultimately figured it out, that I had receintly replaced my laptop battery and in not having a battery, it had replaced the date and time interior the laptop. After resetting the date and time wisely returned, it began working returned. sometimes it rather is an consumer-friendly restoration...

Thanks!​

Internet explorer on a pc. Please read my original post. All videos appear as a black box and all videos work just fine on other forums. Other people on treasurenet were complaining of the same problem a few days back. I don't know if their problem was fixed or not.

Sorry. Your original post ONLY said that you are getting a block box, and "Youtube videos play fine on other forums." I will assume you tried the suggestions I posted. Hopefully a solution will be found shortly.

OMG - I just tried running InterNet Explorer and got this!

​

Now - searched and found a "temporary" solution that works for me on: Windows 10: Videos on Forums Suddenly Show As Black Box Only, Windows 10, IE11? I tried copying the URL into another Internet Explorer Tab and it loaded just fine. Further down the page you will see it seemed to correct itself for that user. I never noticed your problem because I use Google Chrome and/or FireFox.

I have Google, Firefox, and Internet Explorer all on this pc and I "just" tried each one and had no problem so it must be something on your pc setting flinthunter.

I am on a MAC using Safari.

I am using Google Chrome ( Version 66.0.3359.117 (Official Build) (64-bit) ) and it works just fine.

Get Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. All free and without the Microsoft crap in 'em.
