YouTube videos.

When viewing embedded YouTube videos on a apple device I quite frequently but intermittently get a black screen with the YouTube site link/logo in the corner with sound?

Strange...

Instead of creating another thread, how do i embed a youtube vid?

Every time i click on the video button and paste the link in it just brings up a blank page. im obivously doing something wrong lol

eg

[video=youtube_share;cZ1ux9ysAjU]http://youtu.be/cZ1ux9ysAjU[/video]

I use the 'mail a link to this video' button and copy/paste the link within the email.

This is very annoying.

I get this griff, Ive found if I refresh it sometimes fixes it. Failing that if you press the top left of the black box it'll go to the YouTube app and load the video

Post an example of a link here fella and see if others struggle with their Apple products. What are you using iPhone, iPad?

I remember a few years ago, not all videos were available on mobile devices, which I believe was to do with the video format, I'm not sure if this is still the case, but it's certainly a possibility.

refreshing it sometimes works but somethimes it doesn't, refresh the page 17 times gets a bit tedius. There must be a fix to this.

Yours is top left, mines bottom right? Strange.

I also get when the videos do work, say when there are many videos on one page and you watch the top first one, video ends so you move on to the next one, click play and the first one starts playing again?

It's not certain videos but all videos, it's intermittent so sometimes they work sometimes they don't?

I'm using an iPad and iPhone, it does it on both.

Here's a example.

This video is working every time now.

Maybe if there is more than one video on a page at the same time.

Yep, now they don't work?
