IE6 and Firefox3


Recommended Posts

Hello,I have noticed that,trying to play videos from YouTube,quite a few

will not play in IE6 but they will in Firefox3!

 

As I prefer to use IE6,I am wondering why this is so,I have all the latest

updates,and I suspect I need some Add-On but I have not been able to

identify the cause of this,I even went to the MS Add-Ons page but I found

nothing I could use.

 

Any ideas appreciated!

 

Thanks and regards from Vancouver,Canada

You sure don't give much info.

You don't get any error that says, sorry, can't play this video cause

you don't have quicktime ? or something?

 

The one I looked at a few seconds ago is using flash media player. See

if you have the latest installed in IE6. But it seems your flash

player is broke or not there.

I hear you,yes,the message in IE6 is: Sorry,this video is not available

anymore.......and also when first trying to open one,it says:

"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's

Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. "

Then,for the ones that will play I have to hit Refresh or Reload and they

will play

The ones that won't play will say:Sorry video not available anymore

 

However,every time that I open Firefox and try to play the "no longer

available " videos,they will open and play fine (???)

 

Thanks for the response

I have even run the Flash Player debugger,and I have the latest version 9
