Hello,

There can be various reasons for this. One of the most common is not having a fast enough internet speed. In addition, you may not have the correct streaming software installed. I'm sorry, but thei question is nearly impossible to answer without additional information. If you are able, please post a followup. We will try and help you further. A few questions to answer: Did your computer play videos from youtube previously? If so, what did you do or install (or remove) between then and now that may have made a difference. Also, if you have previously used youtube with no problems, did you switch internet connections or service providers recently? Also, can you play other videos from the web, like flash advertisements, or videos from say, MTV web site or a news web site/ You seem to be saying you just cant watch youtube videos, though you may mean all videos...

Write back with clarification, or try and troubleshoot your problem first with some of the above suggestions.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Wont play youtube

If that is some company's computer you are using to access youtube from work, the company's IT department may have set security policies than prohibit access to Youtube and possibly other social sites. Alternatively, the plugin that plays youtube videos in the browser may be missing.

How do i download youtube videos straight to my ps3?

I don't think that is possible without modifying your PS3.

Try downloading on a portable flash drive on your computer and put that flash drive on your PS3 to play whatever videos.

To download youtube video's directly from youtube to computer, I would recommend Keepvid.com

When i down load a video. It will start to play, stop then carry on streaming so the video plays in bits.

You have two choices:

  1. Lower the resolution of the Youtube video so that less bandwidth is used to download it
  2. Play the video and then immediately click pause until the red bar has completed and then play the video
Quite simply, your computer doesn't have a fast enough connection to play the video, you must let it stream enough video in order for you to play it.

The youtube video plays for 2 seconds

You may need to update your version of Adobe Flash.
GO TO http://www.Adobe.com and click on the "Get Adobe Flash Player" button on the right.
You must also be running windows XP or Vista. If you are using anything older you are out of luck.
MAC is a different story.

You have to make sure that JavaScript is turned on, and that you have an updated version of Macromedia's Flash Player.
To be sure that JavaScript is turned on –
Internet Explorer - Tools -> Internet Options -> Security Tab -> Click on Custom Level -> Scroll down to Scripting (near the bottom) and click Enable for Active Scripting. Then OK, and OK again.
Firefox - Tools > Options > Content > Enable JavaScript (Windows) Edit > Preferences > Content > Enable JavaScript
In case JavaScript is turned on and you still can't get it to work, download the latest version of flash player.
