Web browser will not load youtube?

Hello,
After watching this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79Sd1UBhbXo and a few other videos off of youtube about building a web application in xcode I tried it myself. I did all the steps said and everything seemed to work. Except, when I try to open youtube, it begins to load, then freezes and quits. Is there something that I did wrong or is this a known issue? The only thing that i saw was that they all say to open mainmenu.xib for the interface builder. However, i do not have that, i have mainmenu.nib? Could this be the problem?

Does anyone else have a web browser that they created that can run youtube? If so, please respond.

Mac Book Pro, Mac OS X (10.6)

Are you still running ClickToFlash? It will play Flash, it just waits for you to allow it, but if nothing is playing you might try uninstalling it for troubleshooting purposes. What other plug-ins are you using (don't forget to look at both */Library/Internet Plug-Ins* and your user's ~/Library/Internet/Plug-Ins folders)? I'm also wondering if something I use might be helping, although I think Flip4Mac is about the only extra I am running.

Edit: what version of Xcode/WebKit are you running?

There are no error messages that are shown. Also In all Web browsers it works and is fine. It only does not work in xcode made web browsers.
I Just downloaded the latest flash plugin but it still does not work.

In my user library there only was click-to-flash. These are the plugins in my library folder:

DirectorShockwave.plugin
Disabled Plug-Ins
Flash Player.plugin
flashplayer.xpt
Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.plugin
GarminGpsControl.plugin
iPhotoPhotocast.plugin
JavaPlugin2_NPAPI.plugin
JavaPluginCocoa.bundle
NP-PPC-Dir-Shockwave
nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
Quartz Composer.webplugin
QuickTime Plugin.plugin
RealPlayer Plugin.plugin
Silverlight.plugin
WacomNetscape.plugin
WacomSafari.plugin

Xcode is Version 3.2.3
Webkit I am not aware on how to find this?

I'm not running the Shockwave, Garmin, iPhoto, RealPlayer, or Wacom plug-ins, but those shouldn't have anything to do with Flash. The WebKit executable I have is dated 3/11/10 (I am also running Xcode 3.2.2). The ClickToFlash plug-in seems to want to be run first to set up its preferences, so you might try removing that if you haven't set it up yet.

What are your build settings? The i386 architecture doesn't seem to play Flash, so try setting to x86_64. Also check if you have any firewall settings that deny access to the WebView.

I am not sure how to change the build settings. I do not believe the firewall is denying any access but how would I check?

Controls may also be on the toolbar, but you can use the *Xcode > Project > Set Active Architecture* menu item to set the architecture. There are other menu items to set the configuration, SDK, etc.

The *System Preferences > Security > Firewall* pane will show the firewall status, and clicking on the Advanced... button (you may need to unlock to make changes) will show you the current settings. Unless you are blocking everything, there should be a list of applications and services and whether they allow incoming connections or not.

My firewall is fine.
As for the architecture, when i changed it I got this message:
"The active architecture x86_64 is 64 bit which is not supported by this cpu."
So I guess that will not work.

Hmmm... the Flash plug-in architecture is i386, so there must be another Xcode setting in there somewhere.

Should I email apple about this and see what they say?

You might try posting to the applescriptobjc-dev or the webkitsdk-dev mailing lists.

Has anyone else had this problem in xcode? Also, does anyone have a working web application that can play youtube videos, that you would not mind sharing so I can see if it works so I know if it is just my computer?

Thank you.

As far as I can tell the problem is related to the Flash plug-in being 32 bit. Safari (and I am guessing others) apparently provide a 32 bit environment for the plug-in to run in. The build option to compile for the x86_64 architecture works for me, but if that is not available the solution is beyond my abilities.

Adobe just released Flash Player Square, which is available in 32 and 64 bit flavors. You might give those a try to see if they work for your machine.

I downloaded it and still it did not work. Maybe my mac is too old? It is the original macbook pro with snow leopard installed?
