My video is broken. Can anyone help?

(amyindallas) — Wed, 27 May 2009 15:11:30 UT

[link]
My video has been breaking off and on for almost a year. Sometimes it
plays for only one second of scrambled pixels and other times it plays
the whole thing. For the last month or so it has only been playing
this way. One second.
Is there any kind of Youtube support for something like this? It

Contact Groups

(neroaga) — Wed, 27 May 2009 13:21:16 UT

When i send videos, there is the option to switch between my contact
groups in a drop down menu. My problem is that even when i switch
groups, the groups itself doesn't switch.
The default group is friends, but i never send videos using that group
because it has to many people in it; instead i use another group i

Got A Warning Message "This program has performed an illegal operation"

(himyaosui) — Wed, 27 May 2009 12:45:23 UT

I got a waring message and was NOT able to view any youtube videos.
Why did this happen, how, and what can I do? Is there anything that I
can do about it as I am completely unable to view youtube videos. My
computer will shut down/log me out.

The message (two of them) is as shown below:

Re: UPLOAD SPEEDS

(BroJustin) — Wed, 27 May 2009 12:21:28 UT

Thanks, yes I know about things like line competition affecting this,
but it seems that some other types of file go up faster. I hear that
internet service providers limit the speed on your connection in order
to better control their spread of the bandwidth to all their
customers, for instance.

Re: UPLOAD SPEEDS

(rewboss) — Wed, 27 May 2009 10:06:46 UT

There was a study out some time ago -- last year I think -- which
revealed that subscribers seldom get the advertised bandwidth.

380kbps will be the absolutely maximum you can possibly expect. But
whether or not you actually get that speed depends on things like:

how far you are from the nearest exchange

HD video skipping

(Alexandresirois08) — Wed, 27 May 2009 09:13:52 UT

I recently uploaded an HD video on YouTube. The problem is that when I
make it play, it continuously skips. However, when I look at the
original file on my computer everything is perfect. I would like to
know what is the problem and how to resolve it.

UPLOAD SPEEDS

(BroJustin) — Wed, 27 May 2009 09:00:07 UT

In theory I should be able to upload at up to 380kbps when uploading
my videos, but can only get 47.8kbps. This means that a typical video
upload of mine takes about 45 minutes.

This does not appear to be a YouTube issue directly, as they take the
same time to another site. However, this is annoying.

Stuck "1 new message" in inbox when no new messages are displayed

(R00tbrian) — Wed, 27 May 2009 08:54:48 UT

I've got a wee little annoying problem, it's do to with the inbox.

I cleaned the cache and cookies, closed and restarted my browser (i'm
using ubuntu 8.04.2, all patches applied, latest updates, using the
latest version of Firefox) and signed in again.

Still, the inbox is saying "1" in Personal Messages, meaning a new

Re: how do I find the URL for my video stream in embedded youtube player?

(nekocreative) — Wed, 27 May 2009 08:26:15 UT

Thank you so much, that worked a treat! Such a simple and elegant
solution as well. Plus we can have different playlists for our home
page and subpages, so that we only have relevant videos on subpages,
but still all on the frontpage.

Re: how do I find the URL for my video stream in embedded youtube player?

(nekocreative) — Wed, 27 May 2009 08:23:43 UT

The method with the custom player did not work, when I put the url
into my code, it somehow imported the "skin" from custom player as
well.

Accounts hacked

(STFU4KidsHater) — Wed, 27 May 2009 06:03:18 UT

My accounts, AntiTrollOrgo, PokemonxKing and ShutUpAnti4KidsPeeps have
all been hacked by the same person, on May 23 2009.

Ever since the hacker took over these accounts, he changed the
passwords and e-mails. If any of you wondered how he stole my
accounts, he used a keylogger to steal them.

I have been having the same issue for over a month. There has been
only 1 day where this has been correct. It's frustrating and there is
no self fix that I know of. It's up to YT to correct the issue.

RealTime on button not working.

(ZeroZX999) — Wed, 27 May 2009 03:54:34 UT

A few months back I got an invite to use the new Realtime share
option, when I turned it on it was working fine. Recently however, it
became a blank useless toolbar. I managed to get the toolbar back to
normal, but it says it needs to be turned back on and when I try to it
wont let me. Why is it doing that, and how can I fix it?

Subscription reruns

(Jaytheredneck1) — Wed, 27 May 2009 03:22:12 UT

I like that new additions from my favorite youtubers are displayed on
the front page of youtube when I log in. Infact, I load up youtube a
few times a day to look and see if there are any new vids in that
box. However, it's becoming frustrating that the box keeps getting
filled up with old videos, mostly ones that I have already watched.

everyone is internet savvy..not everyone is a "know it all"..you must
be youtubes wet dream. You have an answer for everything!

It worked for me.

Videos on my website loading way too slowly

I am building a website, and using short (1 1/2 min) youtube videos on
the page. So far I have loaded 4 videos to the page. At first, all was
well. Now, each of the videos loads very slowly, starting and stopping
continuously. I am aware that if I start the video, then stop it and
wait for it to load entirely, and then start it again, that it will

@ biggeststacyfan, this is a technical forum for discussing bugs and

and by the way. only believe half of what you hear and all of what you

spamming and contacting users is a falsehood. This is an attempt to
smear my name of a persoanl gruge. You don't know me, and if you took
