Missing Videos
 

For the past week or so I can't see any video links on SubSim. When someone puts up a video in a thread all I can see is a black square. Clicking on it does nothing.

Any ideas?

Hmmm... What browser?

And with chrome?

They are working for me with Opera. :up:

It seems to work with Firefox. Could it be internal such as a firewall not allowing the video to open ? What OS are you using Steve ?

Using Chrome, maybe try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXxmTJ6mtig

See if that will fix IE11.

All okay with Chrome.

If anyone has the spare time could you check your default IE browser and visit The SUBSIM Music Thread to see if you experience the same problems that AktungBBY and I are having with it.

The Problem.
I'm getting a black screen where the videos should be in The SUBSIM Music Thread when I'm using IE11, it doesn't happen anywhere else and it didn't use to happen here either, all the other browsers I've tried are OK so it's a specific fault to IE and this site.

I've checked at least a dozen different sites out with IE and the videos are displaying and playing correctly so what if any settings has been changed on here. I do mention the settings on here as being the problem as nowhere else on the internet is having this problem with IE11.

I will assume it all started with that BREADFISH debacle or the recent SPAM attacks we've been having, so, if you can find time to have a look at what might have been changed you will have my gratitude in advance.

All input is welcome, even if I find it to be a worthless post on the matter it will still be welcomed. :D

Try checking these two possibilities:

1) Try disabling hardware acceleration

2) If you are using something like Ad Blocker, check if permission has been OK'd for YouTube

3) Clear your IE cache and history and add YouTube to trusted sites and then reload

4) Open the clip by right-clicking and open in new tab

There have been reports over the years of this problem happening and sometimes the bug just goes away by itself after a bit of time; had it happen a few years ago and it just came and went...

EDIT:

Have you considered a career in motivational speaking?...




<O>

I've uninstalled everything to do with IE11 and reinstalled it to no avail, numerous suggestions and possible fixes have been tried, and I've even tried your suggestions again and it still won't work right.
It's not often that one of these PC glitches has me beat but this one has.:yep:

Do you think I'd be any good at this motivational thingie that you've mentioned? :hmmm:

I've been looking into the matter for Aktung for a few days now and am at a total loss. I'm on IE11 and Chrome and everything is working fine at this end.

I can only presume the issue is connected to updates.
