Title: Youtube vids and safe mode.
Post by: P-feif on September 17, 2014, 06:50:47 pm
Hey John I'm not sure what's going on here buy your last 3 video's that you posted to Youtube won't play unless safe mode is disabled. Any idea what's going on? And can it be remedied?

Really? What is safe mode? I don't get it!

EDIT: I think it's the sub-title settings I was playing around with. TRY IT NOW and let me know!

Nope. Here I did a copy/paste of the message. Oh and sorry I should have called it Safety Mode, not Safe Mode.

"This video is unavailable with Safety Mode enabled. To view this video, you will need to disable Safety Mode." I think that's the mode Youtube uses to keep questionable content from being viewed by anyone under 18 years old. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the screen there is a button you can use to choose Safety Mode or not. I think you have to be loged into your Youtube account to use it. I don't personally have a Youtube account because when I tried to open one they wanted more info then I wanted to give. What can I say? I protect my indentity like a mad guard dog.

I just watched my last three videos without being logged into Youtube. I don't get it!

I think I may have figured it out. I usually watch your video's from work when on my lunch break. I think it may have something to do with the corporate settings on the company computers. I just tried it from home and they play fine.

Just for the record John. The last three vids still won't play due to the "safe mode" but the lastest one that you JUST posted -------- "John plays games in his home arcade - ExciteBike, Ice Climber, Tempest, Tron, Mad Planets, Tapper ."-------- is playing just fine. Not sure why but it's working.
