You know, there are times I could kick meself.
And I know perfectly well I’m going to get comments, there … !
But I’ve just been floating around YouTube’s help pages, to see if I couldn’t find something relevant.
I don’t know if you remember, but I mentioned, a few days ago, that I was having trouble accessing YouTube video on YouTube, itself … ?
And only on YouTube.
YouTube videos embedded elsewhere — like the teaser movies I have here, or anything on Facebook, for example — showed up with no problem.
The same content on YouTube, itself, would show up as soundless black boxes: just in Safari, I should add, I had no such trouble in Firefox, or in Chrome, with the YouTube extension added.
And the content still wouldn’t show up in Safari, when I recently updated to Safari 5.0.4, and updated my Flash player.
Frustrating.
Especially, when you consider I’d be to’ing and fro’ing between two different browsers, to make show I’d be accessing the correct video … !
So the fact I had some free time, today … ?
Got me thinking I should look up the relevant pages, to see what I could find.
BINGO.
I found this little hardware test, which didn’t help.
And a workaround that did.
Lord know’s why opening Safari in 32-bit mode seems to help.
But it does.
Happy days!

Post a Comment
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
† Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable. I also like seeing folks webpages.
