Problem with Youtube after Flash Player Update (11.9.900.152)

[AdobeMAKA]

Since I updated my FPlayer i'm having problem watching videos on Youtube..

I have version 11.9.900.152 - the latest but I'm not able to watch videos at all. I installed an older version it worked partly, some videos played the others did not. Installe the last one again. At first on Find Version page I could not see anything then after reinstalling over and over it finally shows that I have latest version. I followed all the steps here http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html nothing works... no luck

what should I do, its pissing me off now not only Desktop but my laptop has the same problem (i didnt know this update causes this problem so yeah i installed it on both - and I dont know what was my older vesion)

same story (2nd paragraph) except the link he provided works for me

Did you install BOTH the ActiveX and Standard plugins?

You may need to do a "clean install".

Download the following files by right clicking and selecting "Save target as"

Flash Player Uninstaller

Shockwave Player Uninstaller

Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)

Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

Save ALL files to your Downloads folder - DO NOT RUN anything yet.

Reboot your system.

BEFORE opening anything else, go to your Downloads folder and run the UNINSTALLERS to remove all instances of Flash Player.

Next, run the ActiveX Installer.

Lastly, run the Installer for other browsers.

Once Flash Player is installed go to: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/#sp

Download BOTH files, the one on the right FIRST by right clicking and selecting "Save target as"... the other by clicking and following the steps to download the FULL ActiveX installer.

After the ActiveX is installed, run the Standard Shockwave FULL installer from the Downloads folder.

Once everything is installed, see:Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer  and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer  to make 100% sure that Flash Player is enabled and NOT being blocked by ActiveX controls.

I did everything as you said, step by step. but still no luck

when I opened Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer

the video still did not play but when I open it in Youtube it plays without any problem

Try disabling Hardware Acceleration.
Right click ANY Flash content and choose "Settings".

It's under the far left tab.

Fixed! Finally!

I joined/ enabled HTML5 here http://www.youtube.com/html5 now it's working

I tried disabling Hardware Acceleration yesterday. it didnt work too.

HTML5 is a good thing. It requires NO plugins. I've STOPPED developing all Flash content for my websites and switched everything to HTML5 for video.

I've spent whole day yesterday trying to fix this problem. I guess I just simply needed to enable HTML5 since I did most of what you said on first reply..

Thank You for your help!!

That works BUT it only shows 360p and 720p for me in IE11

[C_F_McBlob]

You won't find too many 1080p videos on Yahoo or YouTube.

Actually it just froze on my own page on youtube and maybe not but now videos made for 480p shows up as 360p only

So, Im on my laptop  now I enabled HTML5 videos that didnt play before now play fine.. but some still dont play

this for example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W95-aOvzQo4

the funny part is on Find Version page it show that I have 11.9.900.117 (not the recent) even thou I updated it yesterday.. I'll go and updated it to newest version if doesnt work I'll follow all the steps from first post from Mike and see if it fixes
