perunamuusi Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Is anybody else having trouble (impossibility) viewing youtube videos. Every video is just a black rectangle with no play button etc. Why might this be. Is it because I was rude in the comments on some crappy footwork video? Did Mike P. do this to me. please halp Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/67295-youtube-is-just-a-black-screen/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squee Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Did you recently upgrade to Firefox 5? Anway, upgrade your flash player. That should help.

Guest futuregirlfriend Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) If the flash player is completely screwed try switching to the html5 one http://www.youtube.com/html5 Click leave then join again if it says you're already taking part. edit: actually that'll probably be no good if you want to watch embedded stuff here. Is vimeo screwed too?

Braintree Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I had this problem on a work computer months ago, but it worked itself out I have a problem with multiple players when I click to expand to full screen view, it just shows me a black screen. It still plays the audio, and I can see it when it's not expanded, but it takes like a good 10 times of clicker full view to get it to show up.
