Having problems getting YouTube linked videos to work.

Add Video Mechanism: Fetch and Upload mode.
Set Fetch type (from other platforms): Linkage

Video appears to upload correctly, metadata is found and a thumbnail is correctly created. However, when you try to play the video from the front or back end, it says Video not found.

Add Video Mechanism: Fetch and Upload mode.
Set Fetch type (from other platforms): Download to Server

Video appears to upload correctly, metadata is found and a thumbnail is correctly created.
Video loads and plays correctly


Any idea why the JWPlayer (or any other player) can't find the Video file using linkage mode?

I have tested the YouTube link directly in a browser and that works okay, so its not a broken link...

if you are playing yt video in jwplayer, it's totally rely on jwplayer yt.swf plugin.
try upgrade it from longtailvideo.

Its not only JWPlayer that doesn't work.
Any YouTube file gives the same error, irrespective of the player used.

Uploads from my PC work fine, as do YouTube videos if you download them to the server.
However, when you use linkage as the option, the player(s) cannot find the file.

Its gets more interesting. I tried linking different YouTube videos:
- 1st one failed
- 2nd one linked perfectly
- 3rd one failed
- 4th one failed

All 4 videos played perfectly when the YouTube shared link was entered directly into a browser window.

I think it is with youtube, cause youtube player is used.
i have tried this afternoon to fetch yt video in linkage mode. They all worked fine.
and i get 100% success.

Yeah, seems to be working okay now....
Very weird

weird things happen, i see a lot.
