Unable to view youtube videos

Whenever i want to play a video, i click on the
video, then that takes me to the screen where it should start playing,
and everything loads right, because i see everything except the video
itself, all i get is a black screen, no audio. I dont even get a
button to press play or pause. its just a black rectangle. Ive
followed the suggestion to unistal adobe flash, and then reinstall it
with the latest version..and then restart your computer. So iv done
all that and the problem still persists. and i know its not just the
site down because i can get on my main computer upstairs and watch
videos all day long. If you could help me that would be amazing, thanks

First delete all internet files and cookies, that may be the reason.

You may need to update Internet explorer.

Try downloading a different browser like firefox, and test youtube on the new browser.

When i click on youtube videos, the screen comes up but doesnt play it just stays black.

I've had this issue too on my HP G72.
Install any updates to Adobe's Flash player. If this doesn't work try reinstalling Adobe Flash.
Also make sure to install any available updates to your computer. Hopefully these tasks will work. My Youtube video's randomly started just showing black a few months ago, especially whenever a HD/even 420p video was played.
Best of luck!

How can I play youtube in my blackberry 8900?

Hi all,

This is because of the BlackBerry Browser as it doesnt support the Video Codecs (protocol).

If you would like to view video content from Youtube, you may have to download other Browser(s).

Another option is "Opera Mini". Which can be downloaded from this address:
http://mini.opera.com

on your blackberry browser: Press "goto" and then goto this address.
http://mini.opera.com

Select download and install the mini opera 4.2 application.

once up and running, you should be able to play video content on your blackberry.

(for the people who require to view the content on WIFI, they should go to the preferences of the opera mini browser and select the wifi checkbox).

Will appreciate if you can rate the offered support by me.

Best Regards,
Techno-geek.
