Can't watch youtube videos on Archos 5 Android

SOURCE: Won't play anything on youtube.

I figured it out. (Or accidentally fixed it) First I reset the temp files

Main menu>System>Repair and Formating Tools> Clear temporary system files and cashe
This didn't erase any of my content... though I did lose my extra favorites links.

Then I happened to open the browser and check the settings there. I noticed that "flash content" was disabled. I fixed that, and it works. (As sad as it sounds, I don't think I needed to erase the temp files. But it works nonetheless.)

i have the same problem. Hopefully archos stops working on android for a sec and comes back to update the 605. Although for me, megavideo works on firmware 2.1.0.4. On others i get the F9 icon or "video can't stream, please check" - or something like that

Hello wilko1974, This has been an on going issue for Archos 5 users. The new youtube supports flash 10.1+ and the Archos 5 only supports 9. Unfortunately there does not seem to be a clear cut solution for this issue. Archos has not released a firmware update for this and with their new devices it there support for older devices has lowered. I have found that choosing the lower play button that appears over a video plays on Archos more often than the top button. I would recommend trying this and seeing if you get better results. Another possible solution is to open the video in a new window with the link on the top right of youtube video. This however is not on all youtube video pages and with the currently layout is on accessible when the video submitter enables it. It also help to have the latest firmware updates that can be done directly on your device. Hope this helps, Greg
