YOUTUBE NOT WORKING ON NEW MACBOOK PRO
Every time I want to see videos from youtube the video player just says "your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available".
Please help I have everything possible up to date.
Thanks!
MacBook Pro, iOS 5.0.1
You do not mention which OS you are using. IOS 5.0.1 is for an iPhone, iPad, etc. It is not the OS running on your MBP.
It appears as if only some videos on YouTube will play using HTML5 and without Flash. For example, this video plays just fine for me and I do not have flash installed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxEWddT44BY
So, unfortunately, you will have to install flash or wait for YouTube to fix their website.
Also, one thing to try: When I had Flash installed and the "ClickToPlugin" Safari extension installed, YouTube would load all the movies in a simple HTML5 format. So no annotations or any other annoying stuff. Might be worth trying. You will have to install flash but, with the "ClickToPlugin" extension, you don't have to use Flash.
I just wanted to update. Yes, installing flash and ClickToPlugin and then resetting safari lets me view all YouTube videos as regular HTML5 videos without actually using flash or teh YouTube viewer. It displays them without ads or other annoying stuff. Very nice!
