Perhaps IPad & YouTube don't get on that well ?

I can't view some of the YouTube vids.
The play symbol has a line thru it like the non-smoking signs.
Does anybody else have this problem ?
I am using an iPad.
What's doing ?

Cheers Piros.
It does'nt happen that often but it is a pain at times when I can't see what would be a good vid. It's too comfy to leave the lounge and check it out on the desktop.

Or flick the iPad and get one of these

www.asus.com/au/

At least Android tablets support flash video natively

Just got one of them and I'm very happy with it.

I have realised that Apple are the best at marketing products that aren't the best on the market - if ya know what I mean.

Some videos on YouTube are Flash based and the iPad does not have flash. Same with the iPhone.

It can also be how the publisher has selected to add the vid to YouTube, there is an option in YouTube to publish for mobile when you add a vid. If the publisher didn't select that option there can be issues.

This makes sense cause I can usually view say 4 out every 5 vids.

I have found it is sometimes when the vid is imbedded in a forum thread, if you have a pretty good idea what the vid is called you can go to youtube and search for it and then watch it straight from youtube, I have found the same thing with some vimeo vids posted in threads too.

Hope it helps.
