Can't play youtube

[adamszeto]

I installed Windows 10 January Technical Preview. I try to play youtube or other online video. The IE crashed with message "Internet Explorer has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". Anyone is facing this too ?

That's not exactly similar. It's a whole different OS..

On topic: could be a bad install of IE. Did you try it on different browsers as well?

same problem here

Tried it on all browser and diff internet connections no video goes more than 8 sec

Did you upgrade or perform a clean install? An upgrade might have caused it

I'm having the same problem playing any videos - YouTube, Netflix (app or in IE), NFL app. Sometimes the video plays briefly before it crashes, but it always crashes.

Update: actually just found that YouTube videos play fine in Chrome, but keep crashing in IE. Same with Netflix.

Question to all of you in here that have the issue: Did you upgrade or do a clean install? Upgrades are heavily unstable on this build as I noticed myself and heard from quite a few other people.

hmm. definitely see an issue with the upgrade path and video. Did a vpn in to my system at work that I upgraded from the previous build and after about 10 seconds of video the app crashes and my remote desktop session locks up. No issue with the clean install version 9926 I am using at home.

Hey guys,. I was having the same issue with IE after updating to latest build, not just youtube but any web video would crash the IE Tab.
I've found a fix:

settings->internet options->advanced->
Select: "Use Software rendering instead of GPU rendering"

After enabling that option and restarting IE everything works fine now.

Matthew's fix got YouTube working for me. Unfortunately, Netflix still won't work in IE or in the Netflix app, although it works on Chrome just fine. Also can't run videos in other apps, like Reddhub.

 

[Matthew Hypolite]

Just tested the Netflix app and it's not working for me either, the app loads and everything but when I try to play a video it errors out.

I had a problem with Netflix a while ago with an update for Windows 8. I think it had something to do with a sound card up date. Try reinstalling a previous version of the sound card and try that.

Mine still isn't working. It doesn't crash, but it doesn't seem to want to play the video even after it buffers. Any other help?

It works. Thank you.

I updated to Windows 10 and when I tried to watch Netflix it would play the sound but not the video/picture. When I looked up the troubleshooting forums about it, it said that i needed to set my AMD back to the factory setting and that would solve the problem. I set my AMD back to the factory setting but nothing changed. How do I fix the problem with Netflix? Any help is much appreciated.

Ihave the exact same problem, plus, i can't play videos on Netflix.:angry::angry::angry:

The exact same thing happens to me! i also have the AMD thing, i've tried installing drivers and stuff but its just impossible to fix it.

My laptop came with Win10 already installed. This problem has apparently only just arisen today. I get a message "An error has occurred. Please try again later." on all YouTube videos. There has been an update to Win10 in the last couple of days - is this another Microsoft screw-up?

The IE app does not have the settings that are mentioned elsewhere in this thread - only very basic ones (including "advanced" settings!)
