mj,

The issue is caused by using a dynamic url (which is a url with the ? character). The "embed code" on youtube shows the static url of the video. I modified your video file by inserting the static url (listed below), and all is working now.

OK! We never done this before so we just copied the one that showed on you tube!

I put that code in the auction and click play and nothing! If i just click on the link you gave me it works!

[admin]

Are you trying to play it on the edit page? If so, it will not play there. Have you tried playing from your auction page? I just did, and it plays fine for me.

Igo in as a guess and do a search for a xm-150 go in, seel the media box it says ready and i click on play and nothing

[mj-trading]

I right click on it and then clicked on error report and it gave me this!

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The file is either corrupt or the Player does not support the format you are trying to play.

mj- I went in and it wont even bring up windows media player for me. I clicked play and it wont do anything.

I just tested on a few other PC's, and two of them played right away. One gave a prompt that I needed active X enabled/installed to view the content. I enabled active x, and it played fine.

You should see two play buttons, one for the youtube video(grey) and one for our player(blue). Try just using the youtube play button (grey).

Can some other members check out the below aution, to see if they are able to view.

Bossman.......I got nothing when I clicked play.......there was only one play button. I got no warnings no asking me to install active x nothing....I click play and my screen does nothing.
LOL gonna be the most viewed auction on the site.

I only have 1 play button! I put the currsor on the grey and it says click to activate! I do that then put my currsor on the play button that turns green and nothing

No warnings!

[admin]

You should have to click once to activate, then again to start playing. I am not sure exactly why... This is by design, due to some copyright issues between Microsoft and Macromedia I believe. I am not sure about anything turning green in color, as I am color blind. Please try clicking twice, to see if that works for you.

[mj-trading]

We tried that too! Nothing!

[katandron1]

Mouse over it says click to activate....okay click......mouse over play button it turns green.....okay click play......nothing happens on my screen. Clicked it several times.
It didn't even work for me going to the auction from the link you posted above admin.

I also cannot get this to play. In Firefox 2 (my default browser) the only controls that even show up as clickable are mute and volume. Right clicking gives me the following error messages under error details:

Windows Media Player cannot open. You may need to reboot to complete installation of a downloaded component. Please verify that the path and filename are correct and try again.

Cannot open 'http://www.youtube.com/v/Libo_rCHUxo'. (Error=C00D0005)

In IE 6 I am able to see it connecting to media and it says ready. Clicking the play button has no affect however. The error message here is:

Windows Media Player encountered an unknown error. (Not particularly useful)

I double-checked my multi-media settings in IE and they are correct.

I will have to check into this further. I know this was not designed to display another player (which is how this one is set up, since the video url is dynamic), but rather just the video.

I have briefly researched the (Error=C00D0005) error that was reported, and so far have found numerous reports that this is an issue with windows media player 8 and prior. It does not seem to matter the platform or browser used. What media player are you guys using?

I have uploaded a video to the below auction, using the proper format. Please check out and let me know if this plays for you.

Your butterfly vidieo works!
Could you go to my last sold item and check the buyer out as there is no full name or full address!

Just checked it on my computer here at work. It does not play in Firefox, but does play in IE 6. I am using Windows Media player 11 here. When I get home I will check what I have and update the above report.

[mj-trading]

Upgrade our player to a #11 and my video on the auction plays fine! Were running IE!
