Embedded videos are blank

[9KenM]

After installing version 2.1.5, youtube videos embedded in other non-youtube sites are now showing up as black squares.

Go to External Player option and enable Embeds! That fixes it for me!

[9KenM]

I just double checked to make sure enable embeds was checked. Embeds are still blank.

@9KenM

I had the same problem. I fixed it by going to chrome://settings/content and unchecking Block third-party cookies and site data.

This was the error I was getting in the console,

@n0000b that's actually quite interesting that YouTube Center isn't able to load its settings. I will try to look into a way to make YouTube Center compatible with that Chrome option.

[n0000b]

@YePpHa I forgot to mention that I was using a Chromium Dev build version 39. I'm not sure if this happens in a stable build of Chrome.

[YePpHa]

It could also be a bug in the Chromium build, but I should probably try to do some research into that option.

I am getting a ton of blank black embedded clips, but Im on Opera 12.xx about 3/4 of embeds work ok, but some just remain blank, I need to click in lower right corner to open YT directly to play them.

How do I check whats causing this in Opera 12.xx?

Hmm. You could try to open the developer console in Opera (CTRL + SHIFT + I). You could then check for any errors when the black embedded video appears. Though I'm not sure if Opera actually logs the console when you don't have it open (It's some time since I last tested YouTube Center on that version of Opera).

example:

clicking play produces black box with spinning circle, opening inspect element/Errors I see:

Uncaught exception: ReferenceError: Security error: attempted to read protected variable

I refreshed, pressed play and this time it worked. inspect element/Errors had new error tho:

Uncaught exception: ReferenceError: Security error: attempted to read protected variable
 Error thrown at line 12233, column 5 in (obj, callback) in http://www.youtube.com/embed/Xaa9-FrgvCE:

then I open page again in new tab, and it doesnt work again producing first error, I reload, ... and it works producing same first error (line 11762)

[YePpHa]

Seems like that the browser somehow prevented YouTube from accessing a specific variable. I will try to look into this.

[raszpl]

hmm, in not sure its YTcenter fault any more I get error no matter if embedded video works or not

• I can replicate video not working by simply disabling RC4 crypto in my browser (YT content servers require RC4 to work)

maybe its just some content server not responding, and when I reload YT load balancer gives me another server that works havent had a broken video in a week
