hoofhearted4 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) so this happened for the first time a couple weeks ago. i went to watch stuff on YouTube like always and i clicked the video and it says "Error, Please try again later" Tried several other videos, same thing. went to a different site, and nothing that uses flash or anything worked, was just white boxes. so i check and im up to date. i uninstall and reinstalled and it fixed it i guess, that time....just did the same thing to me now, and i cant get it working again. is it my flash player? this is soo annoying. what can i do? EDIT: using the "official" uninstaller didnt work either. i dont understand how i fixed it last time, but not this time. its the same issue. EDIT EDIT: apparently whatever the issue is, is with Firefox. cause everything is fine on Google Chrome. cant figure out the issue though. everything is up to date. plug ins are up to date. no new add-ons have been installed. hmm Edited June 23, 2012 by hoofhearted4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoofhearted4 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 ok i seriously cannot figure this out. i scanned my PC in safe mode found nothing. cleaned it out with CCleaner. didnt help. reinstalled Firefox. nothing. if i disable the flash plugin, i can get some flash to work (like the animations on the G4tv.com page) but cant watch YT videos. with the plugin enabled, neither works. ive tried uninstalling the Flash and reinstalling it. nope....everything works fine in any other Browser such as Google Chrome. idk. its something with Firefox all of a sudden and i cannot figure out how to fix it unfortunately.

Sarissi Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Adobe broke it in Firefox with their latest update. It works just fine in Internet Explorer. Like you, my preferred browser is Firefox. It is totally broken in FF and I also use YouTube frequently. I have Adobe Photoshop CS 5.1 Standard (a $700 application), and the updater keeps things up to date.

hoofhearted4 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 so there is nothing i can do but sit and wait and hope for the next update to resolve everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMod Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 You could manually delete the flash player (including from Firefox!) and reinstall an older version. Strange, works fine for me. But the Adobe Updater kept crashing for some reason, I deleted it a couple days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarissi Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I figured out WHY! While Flash is working in FF, the .FLV extension (type) is not included. Unfortunately, .FLV is what YouTube uses (and some Flash ads). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
