Well I am always ready to provide a worthless post, as you know.

You're a squirrel Mr Squirrel, I wouldn't expect nothing less from you.

Please try using your default Windows Internet Explorer version in The SUBSIM Music Thread, I already said there were no problems with any other browsers or any other web sites just this one, therefore this site must be at fault. Thank you for any assistance in this matter it will be appreciated.

Have this issue with IE11 on Windows 7. Tested two other sites that use embedded Youtube videos and they worked fine.

EDIT: Number of vBulletin forums are having this issue, starting May 11 of this year. Perhaps something has changed in IE that makes it not play nice with the embed code.

I'm almost certain it came in with the Windows "Security" updates for the ransomeware "WannaCry" or whatever it was called, though I have no direct evidence. It has trashed more than videos on my computer ~IF~ I use IE11 (which I don't), and not just on this site... It's probably a configuration setting in IE11 itself that "closed" a "hole". You could try looking through the "Advanced" tab of IE11's Internet Options, though if you're like me, I do not understand most of it... I wonder if YouTube has anything in its forums yet?...

I can see them fine with Chrome. Problem there is I don't like Chrome.

So the problem seems to be with vBulletin? Maybe that needs looking into.

I *think* Youtube ditched the Flash player and now use primarily HTML5. That might be screwing things up with IE11, as well.

That the embed code still works on other browsers, tends to indicate that it is not solely at fault.

Right, here's a very rough work-around before an actual fix can be found:
1) Hit F12 to open the 'developer tools' panel
2) Go to the 'Emulation' tab
3) Switch the 'Document mode' from the default (7) to 10 (Edge probably works too)

Issues:
- Only affects the currently open tab
- You need to keep the developer tools panel open (you can scale it down, though)
- May or may not affect the functionality of other features on the site

I jusr upgraded to the newest flash version here, https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Maybe give that a shot?

I've been using that Flashplayer version since it came out and it didn't fix the problem, the blame lies squarely at Microsnot's front door.

That fix works.

Just by searching for long enough, couldn't tell you what exactly I searched for that time.

LMAO


@IE11 users: Did your video player look different here on the forums compared to the emulation mode player?

Like this:


Were you able to switch to fullscreen?

ahh! I SAW THIS BUT COMPLETLE DISREGARDED IT AS IT REFERENCES 'QUICK TIPS WIN 10' AND I'M ON WIN 7 ...happily F12ing videos and expanding them to full screen too. Or viewing them on Chrome...I consider the problem 'well flanked' solutionwise with either and no longer a problem-merely an inconvenience but a valuable experience as well for my meager, Ltd. computer abilities..
