Why can’t I see the youtube video in my post?
-
I added a youtube video to my post yesterday, but am unable to see it. Can someone tell me why or what I should do…
-
Well, this is the link to my post:

Which post are you talking about? If it is this one, “Worship at Work:” I can see the video just fine.

yeah that’s the one… for some reason i can’t see it… does it have something to do with my system settings? I do ahve flash installed and can view youtube videos perfectly fine…

It may be a cache issue. Try clearing your browser cache and then force refreshing the page (hit the reload or refresh button).

That is strange. What browser and version are you using, and have you tried a different one?

Ah, yes IE6 has some issues, but it should show the video. It could be that the company has some stuff blocked. I know before we sold our company, I had to block ebay and youtube because too many were spending way too much time at those two places. It seemed that every few weeks, I was having to block something else.

Aaaahhhh! that would explain it then. Janie you need to check at Youtube, it could be that the video has been pulled for some reason.

And i youtube isn’t blocked at the moment, though it was a while ago… i can’t seem to view videos on other’s posts as well… that’s sad…

Like gamehq, if I click on the video, it comes up and says it is no longer available. It could be Youtube is having some issues. It wouldn’t be the first time.

I just looked, and the video certainly is still at youtube. I’m puzzled. You might try editing the post, removing the video from the post and then inserting it again. I can’t think of anything else to try.

The issue is probably this (coming from a former IE6 user):
tsp is right that it’s probably a caching issue. Once you’ve viewed X number of YouTubes or other rich media (animated ads count) your browser becomes unable to see any more. What you have to do is make sure there are six or FEWER YouTubes on the page you’re looking at, like your main blog page. If there are more than that, go to the post’s specific page, by clicking on the title. That makes it only ONE YouTube. Clear cache and cookies. You may need to do a whole restart of your computer. That has always cleared it up for me.
-
No, I had this problem yesterday as well, and I always clear my cache n cookies everyday… shut down and restarted twice since then…
I actually deleted the video, went to youtube re-uploaded it elsewhere and re-posted the new link in my post… can you guys see it at least now? I know thesacredpath could see it earlier… it’s ok if i cant see my own post, but there’s no point adding video if others cant see it…
