I’ve been having an issue lately with watching any Youtube videos but after some time the problem would go away. I followed instructions on Youtube for uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Flash Player (already working fine on other sites) but it didn’t do anything. I then deleted cookies and cleared the cache (suggestion from Youtube). All non-Youtube videos work but the Youtube player (on all sites) doesn’t work. (I’m getting a black box instead of the usual player and when I right click all I get is “about Adobe…” instead of the usual menu.

Any ideas?

TIA

Right Click on the video screen, go to settings…, on the left tab (on the bottom) disable “Enable Hardware Acceleration”.

Please let me know if it works.

This seems to be a common problem.

Google “youtube black box”, sans quotes, and select the first item that comes up to see a discussion about this issue.

Included in the discussion are suggestions to try to fix it.

I’d post the link, but don’t know if that’s OK.

I had the same problem this morning, using Firefox. I emptied the cache, & all is back to normal

Thanks everyone. A little while after I started the thread I saw on Youtube to try adding an s so the URL reads “https…” and B”H it worked.

Dr. Pepper- When I searched for a specific video on YT and got the black box, there was no menu. The videos they had under the help section worked fine and those had the menu…

Thanks again.
