All my youtube playlists stopped working all of a sudden........they were working fine until now.

Wonder if youtube changed anything from their side ? Does your youtube playlist work anymore ? status bar shows that "waiting for gdata.youtube.com"..........something

The wizard here to create a youtube playlist doesnt seem to work as well.....

help please !!!!

However it is not a nice problem it is good to see that I'm not the only one.
I have the same problem since yesterday (11-06-08).

The YouTube files are still working on You Tube. The pasted code(only the small nummer and letter combination) inside the FLV-playlist is still the same as the working one on YouTube , but is not working anymore in the FLV. Just a black screen. Other content of the mixed playlist (mp3, jpg, flash) is still working. So it seems not to be a general problem but specific to YouTube!

I hope someone knows why this is happening.
Maybe a direct question to Jeroen Weijering. The creator!!

when i try the wizard YT playing works fine on win xp IE7 and FF2 - http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?page=wizard&example=6

you dont mention which platform, but a couple of days ago there was a windows update -
so maybe you have a firewall problem or need to reinstall the flash browser plugin?

I've indeed seen that Youtube has changed the location of their API. i have no clue if this is an error or permanent.

I'll fix this ASAP in the 3.x player. For now you can swiftly use the 4.0 player, in which even Youube playlists work:

If anyone can find more info in this, please share!

looks like it started working again.............i had the same problem yesterday with my youtube playlists, just blank screen.

But now everything just started working again.

I think youtube was messing around with their servers then !!!

@eBuddy - dont go back to the old player ! - but wait a few days and see if the problem goes way - youtube are having trouble

Jun. 13, 2008eBuddy

thanks anderson for response, but my question is why in this website with the old player, the videos work fine, is only problem of link?

thanks again to everybody

Jun. 13, 2008andersen

@eBuddy

they use a completely different method - and it can stop working anytime too! because youtube change those download links!
when you use the new player - the files are fetched using the official youtube api method - that is supposed to be stable...

Jun. 13, 2008eBuddy

Ok thanks andersen, I wait, if there is problem again i write again.

thanks a lot for your help

If you are tired of youtube but want a way to connect with artists and musicians and their videos then you should check out www.putiton.com
If you are tired of youtube all together than you should probably leave your bedroom and go interact with the real world

Guys, there's another problem with YouTube playlists that started for me personally yesterday. I cannot add any videos to may playlist, even though the playlist I'm trying to add videos to aren't even full. After clicking the 'Add' button, the page returns to the top of the screen and if I click on the video player, the tab heading changes to '#' instead of 'Youtube - [name of video]'. I've never had a problem with my playlists until yesterday, so I need help pronto...please...

Jul. 13, 2009Joe

CNG - I'm having the same problem. I have tried it on different computers, networks, and browsers. It's on their end and hopefully they are aware of it.

Jul. 13, 2009ranjit

Jul. 14, 2009Zachary Ozer

Are you talking about an error that your having on the YouTube website, or using the JW Player on your own site?

Has there been any update on this problem?

We have a youtube playlist - displaying via longtail player. Worked for the past year or so - perfectly.

Not sure when the problem first occured - but now - it pulls the playlist (the thumbnails and video descriptions appear) - but when you click to play the video - it just spins the little "loading icon" and then goes back to listing the playlist.

Thoughts, comments, suggestions??

Oct. 14, 2009michael

Oct. 14, 2009michael

Oct. 17, 2009Elke

I don't completely understand your problems but if anyone has problems with playing your playlist on your channel if not logged in:

Log in, go to your channel (by clicking on your youtube-name), click on 'edit' (upright), and change featured content set to 'all my stuff'.

Oct. 19, 2009Julius

Dumb YouTube with their forced ugly new channel design can no longer link directly to a playlist. That just sucks.

Oct. 23, 2009Chim Chiminy

^Truth, that. Their new, newb designers on board there have certainly succeeded in frigging things up.

Oct. 28, 2009Joey

Ummm Youtube won't let me play a playlist on anyone's page... why??? Help....... grrr

Oct. 28, 2009Cammy

Got the same problem, and it was fine yesterday, and I don't think it's an error, it's just crappy YouTube.
