YouTube does not open in the browser. Why does not the video show in the Yandex browser

Browsers often succumb to various failures that do not allow you to work comfortably at your computer. Today we will talk about the problems that interfere with the work of Youtube in the Yandex browser.

There is hardly a panacea that will save you from all problems in an instant. For this reason, we will go over the main problems that most often arise when working with YouTube.

Overflowed cache

YouTube uses a caching function that allows you to pre-save a video for later playback. That is why you can afford to watch videos without delay and fast forward them. If the cache of the web browser is full, then you will not be able to fully use this function. Next, we'll look at how to fix this problem.

1. Open the Yandex Browser menu and go to "Settings".

2. At the bottom of the page you will find a button "Show advanced settings"- click on it.

3. In chapter "Personal data" use the button "Clear download history".

4. You will see a settings window in which you need to specify the deletion period (in our case, for all time), and also put a checkmark to the left of the inscription "Files saved in the cache".

5. If you wish, you can check the rest of the checkboxes, but it is not recommended to do this if you do not know their functions.
6. Reload the YouTube page and check the result.

Deleting cookies

Cookies can also cause Yandex Browser to malfunction, so we need to clear them. The process is carried out in the same order as clearing the cache. The only change will be the location of the corresponding checkbox.

Viruses

A painful problem for all users, which can spoil the work of the entire computer system, not excluding the browser. Malicious software can use your computer's resources and slow down Yandex Browser. The fix is pretty straightforward. It is enough to use a free utility for scanning and cleaning your computer.

Modified hosts file

Viruses can harm your computer in a variety of ways. In some cases, they are capable of replacing system files. In our case, this may be a change in the hosts file, after which access to some sites may be limited.

1. To check for sure, go to the following path:

C: WindowsSystem32driversetc
2. Find the hosts file and right-click on it, then select "To open with".

3. In the list that appears, select Notepad.

4. At best, your file should look something like this:

If after the line :: 1 localhost other commands are present, they must be removed.

5. Save the modified file.

Low internet speed

You should immediately guess about this if your video does not play well. In most cases, the user himself is aware of the low speed of his Internet, so we did not consider this issue in detail. If you still want to check the speed of your Internet connection yourself, then use the service

Thanks to the ubiquitous distribution of online video, terrestrial TV is now morally outdated. Any movie or TV show can be watched at any convenient time. But it happens that an online video suddenly stops playing. In this case, the user will have to find out why the browser refused to play it.

The main reasons for problems with video in Yandex.Browser

The reasons are different. They can be conventionally grouped as follows:

incorrect browser settings: the necessary plug-in for video playback is not installed or configured, for example, Adobe Flash Player;
problems on the side of the site where the video is downloaded from;
viral activity;
congestion of the communication channel with the Internet.

Adobe Flash Player Plugin Issues

Let's first consider the problems associated with the settings of the Adobe Flash Player plug-in, which is used in Yandex Browser for video playback.

Adobe Flash Player is disabled

To enable Adobe Flash Player, do the following:

To make Flash Player start and work properly when Yandex.Browser starts, enable the Always start option.

Conflict between two different versions of Adobe Flash Player

The "apple of contention" for different versions of Adobe Flash Player is different versions of the Flash technologies used in them: the Netscape Plugin API (NPAPI), which was created for the Netscape Navigator browser in 1995 and has become obsolete in 20 years, and the Pepper Plugin API ( PPAPI) is an advanced modification of NPAPI. These two options are incompatible with each other: if an image on some site is recorded, for example, using NPAPI, and the browser supports PPAPI, then such an image will not be played back in it. At the same time, not all sites have switched to PPAPI - this process is smooth and, most likely, it will take several years.

In an amicable way, the Adobe Flash Player developers should have released a "combined" version of the plug-in from the very beginning, including both of these animation processing technologies and online video, but this was not done.

The solution is to disable one of the versions of Adobe Flash Player. To do this, follow these steps:

Open the Yandex Browser Plugin Manager.
Highlight Adobe Flash Player and click the details button
Select "Adobe Flash Player (2 files)" and deactivate one of the plugin versions by clicking on the "Disable" link.
If there is a conflict between Flash Player versions, Yandex.Browser will not be able to display all sites correctly
With a newer version of Adobe Flash Player running, return to the page where the video was not working.

Try to play the video. If the "Play" button is pressed on the frame of the video and the content download has started, you do not need to do anything else yet. Otherwise, disable the new version of Adobe Flash Player and re-enable the previous one using these instructions.

Outdated version of Adobe Flash Player

There are two ways to reinstall Adobe Flash Player: uninstall and reinstall and update the current version to the latest.

Reinstall Adobe Flash Player

The most "advanced" method is to completely remove Adobe Flash Player from the system before reinstalling the application. Close Yandex Browser. To reinstall Adobe Flash Player, do the following:

Enter the Start - Run command, type appwiz.cpl and click OK.
Enter the Windows Runtime Console and start the Application Manager
A tool for managing already installed programs will open. Select the Adobe Flash Player application from the list, most often signed with the acronym NPAPI (Legacy). Click the Remove button.
Click the uninstall button after selecting Adobe Flash Player from the list of applications
This will launch the proprietary Adobe uninstall wizard (not the standard Windows uninstaller). Confirm the removal of Flash Player by clicking on the uninstall button in the wizard window.
Confirm Adobe Flash Player removal
Click the Finish button and open in the same Yandex.Browser, or, as a last resort, in Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge, the site page get.adobe.com/ru/flashplayer.
Install and update Adobe Flash Player only from the official website
Click the "Install" (or "Download") button on the Adobe website. It is recommended that you turn off the option to download additional downloads for other Adobe partner products.
Click the button to start downloading Flash Player
Run the install_flashplayer.exe file (the file name may differ) by clicking the "Run" button.
Click the start button if it is an online downloader
Select the installation mode for Adobe Flash updates (if you need them).
Enable or disable future Adobe Flash Player updates
Click the "Next" button and wait for the download and installation of the program to finish.
The installation progress is displayed in the Adobe Installer window
When the Flash Player installation is complete, click the Finish button.
Click the button to complete the installation of Adobe Flash Player

Adobe.com will inform you that the new version of Flash Player has been successfully installed.

You are now using the new version of Flash Player

Launch Yandex.Browser and check the version of the Flash Player plugin - it should change.

Updating Adobe Flash Player

Updating Adobe Flash simplifies user actions, but the general principle of reinstallation remains the same - before installing a new version, the old one is removed. Follow the steps below to start the Adobe Flash update:

Open the Windows Control Panel by clicking "Start - Control Panel". Alternatively, follow the Start - Run sequence and enter control.
Enter and confirm the control command
Select the modification of Flash Player x32 or x64 - depending on what bit Windows you have.
Windows has a special place for Adobe Flash technologies
In the window that opens, go to the "Updates" tab.
Go to the "Updates" tab
Click the Change update settings button (it can be protected by a user / administrator password) and select the option to automatically install Flash Player updates. If the problem of updating Flash Player is acute, then, without changing the settings, click the "Check now" button. The default browser (possibly Yandex Browser) will be redirected to the Adobe site.
Select the version of the Flash Player engine for Chromium (the Yandex browser is based on it).
Adobe Flash Player is optimized for all modern browsers
Download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player using the previous installation instructions. Restart Windows when the update is complete.
Launch Yandex.Browser and go to any site where online videos are published. Run any of them.
Most likely, Yandex Browser will issue a puzzle notification on the spot of the video about the need to enable the Flash plug-in or check its settings. Click on it to go to the plugin settings.
Click on a puzzle piece to launch Flash Player
Initiate the first launch of the updated Adobe Flash Player to see dynamic content (in this case, the video you want to watch).
In Yandex.Browser, click the Flash Player launch permission button
Go to the already familiar plugin settings and check the version and operation of Flash Player using the previous instructions.
Refresh the page with the video of interest again. Now animations and banners will be displayed correctly, and online videos will play normally.

Turn off hardware acceleration Adobe Flash

Hardware acceleration is used on fairly high-performance PCs... That is, a computer or tablet must have a processor with at least 2–4 cores and each performance up to 3 GHz, 2–4 GB RAM, and an SSD drive (SSD drives are several times faster than conventional HDD drives) ... If the PC is cheap and / or outdated (released in the 2000s), hardware acceleration will only hinder it. To turn off acceleration, follow these steps:

Check the availability of the online video on the page where it “didn't go”.

Other problems

Now let's move on to investigating other reasons due to which problems with video may arise in Yandex.Browser.

The influence of an ad blocker in Yandex Browser

This problem is aggravated if you use third-party "banner cutters" like AdGuard. To disable them, go to add-ons management by typing browser: // addons and check the presence and operation of the AdGuard component.

Turn off AdGuard and refresh the page with problematic videos.

It is not recommended that several ad blockers, for example, AdGuarg and AdBlock Plus, work in the browser at the same time: not only online videos, but also some Flash and Java functions of the site engine may be unavailable. In especially neglected cases, the text version of the site will be displayed, and the site will inform you that your browser is out of date.

Viruses in the Windows system

The influence of pest programs on browser performance can be multifaceted and lead, in particular, to the following consequences:

Damage or replacement of Windows system files, program files of Yandex Browser and its plug-ins, which results in frequent errors when watching videos or navigating to pages of popular video hosting sites such as YouTube.
Redirecting the user to fake web pages that copy 99% of the originals in order to steal logins, passwords and account details.
Automatic download of unknown applications (so-called "software worms"). This forces Yandex Browser to open new tabs - empty or with redirection to imposed sites, for example, fake for well-known search engines.

Viruses affect more than just the reproducibility of online videos and animations. There is nothing wrong with the fact that you could not watch the long-awaited continuation of your favorite series on YouTube or on a torrent tracker. But the loss of personal files on disks, theft of payment details and other personal information is already serious damage.

That's whyyou need to regularly check Windows for viruses. Use any of the anti-virus programs - from the simple Dr. Web CureIt and ending with more serious antivirus packages, for example, a selection of Kaspersky programs or software from Eset (NOD32).

The best result will give a deep scan of the contents of the PC disks in turn by several anti-virus programs, for example, Avast, Dr. Web (full version) and Windows Defender.

Video problems on the site side

Problems with video playback directly on the site are caused by the following reasons:

And if in the latter case you can change the settings of the browser and Flash plugins, then the first two entirely depend on the team or the owner of the site.

Overload of the user's Internet channel

Using a 3G / 4G modem, a subscriber of a cellular network, especially in the evening, is faced with insufficient bandwidth for full video playback. And if the most popular video hosting YouTube made sure that in the full version of the youtube.com site you could choose a relatively low image quality of 144p (on the mobile version of m.youtube.com - from 240p), which, moreover, automatically adjusts to the current channel speed, then on many third-party sites there is no adjustment, and downloading a video may require a speed of several megabits per second.

But insufficient speed is not the only reason for channel congestion. It often happens that the speed is excellent (within the framework of the technology used and the generation of the cellular network), or the user generally has a home fiber-optic Internet connection, and the channel is loaded, for example, by the uTorrent torrent client, Download Master, etc. these programs need to be closed.

Each icon in the list of running applications has its own context menu, which should be opened to stop interfering programs

If the icon of the program creating an increased load is present in the program indication panel, then open the panel (up arrow on the Windows taskbar), right-click on the icon of the interfering application and select the Close or Exit command in the opened context menu.

Whatever the reason for the failures when viewing online videos in Yandex Browser, it is quite easy to eliminate it. To do this, you need to find the cause by elimination and take appropriate actions to eliminate it.

In this publication, we will try to answer a common question about why YouTube does not open... There can be a huge variety of reasons for this, ranging from the most commonplace and ending with quite serious problems with the hardware or software of your computer. Let's first outline the circle of the most common and commonplace reasons for the "breakdown" of YouTube, which are most often mentioned by themselves. So, the first and most commonplace reason is the lack of an internet connection. Check, if it is not there, then restore and use all the delights of video hosting. The second, but not least, the reason that YouTube does not open is the viruses that attacked your computer or laptop, which block the opening of YouTube.

Clean your system from viruses with a quality antivirus program like Kaspersky. Do not use untested free antivirus software. They will only waste your time, but will not give the expected results. Another common reason for not opening YouTube is the cache and cookies of your Internet browser. Therefore, try clearing your history. Don't, you have to clear the entire history of your browser. Remember to save all your passwords when doing this. On the network, many users say that clearing the browser from all garbage helped them and after that they were able to use their favorite YouTube. Also, a recent problem causing the video giant to malfunction is the installation of various Windows updates. Some experts advise to have a working backup of your operating system, so that, if something happens, you can "roll back" to a normally working version.

In addition to the various problems that may arise with your software or hardware, you should not sweep aside the problems of the functioning of YouTube itself. Indeed, this year, users are very popular with such a query in search engines as: "". Such a large number of inputs of this kind of requests indicates that the problem here is not local, but global in nature. Indeed, many IT portals and news sites have recently become much more likely to talk about the fact that YouTube itself is "hanging". At the same time, many people throw an error with the number 500, which indicates that the problem is external and has nothing to do with the performance of your computer.

It is worth noting that more and more often recently there is an inscription on the main page of the video hosting that “something went wrong”. It is also said that specialists are working to eliminate the problems that have arisen. At the same time, with each such "glitch" of YouTube, officials do not comment on the suspension of their website. So, in such cases, it remains only to wait until the problem is eliminated. Such "downtime", fortunately, is very rare and does not last very long, so you can not worry that you will lose. Not only you will lose views, likes and subscribers.

In addition to all the reasons described above in this publication, there may be a couple of more common reasons that cause problems with visits to YouTube and viewing a variety of video content. And this will inevitably lead to a fall. People ask about why YouTube does not open on the computer, but they themselves do not want to monitor their PC in order to prevent such situations. Let's repeat ourselves. Constant and periodic diagnostics and cleaning of the system from trash and viruses will save your computer. If all this you are constantly doing and nothing helps, reinstall the correct Adobe Flash Player, before downloading its latest version from the official website.

Then restart your computer. If after that the problem remains, then you need to look at the file hosts, which is located in the folder: " C: \ WINDOWS \ system32 \ drivers \ etc". Open this file in notepad and see its contents. There should be a line at the bottom like: " 127.0.0.1 localhost”And nothing but this entry. You can safely delete and save the file that is superfluous. For reliability, reboot and try opening YouTube.

They turned to me for help to solve the problem. And the problem was that YouTube does not work in the Yandex browser. When opening this service, there were error messages.

Although in other browsers everything was fine. Opened in order Opera, Google Chrome, Mazilu, everywhere YouTube loads normally. What is the cause of this problem?

I decided to check everything in order, at the same time to tell you what to do if YouTube does not work for you in the Yandex browser.

Although, in fairness, I want to note that this situation can happen with any browser, and the troubleshooting steps will be the same.

So if YouTube does not work for you in other browsers, read the article further, it will be useful in all cases.

The reason when the YouTube channel does not work, the video does not load, is not necessarily related to any particular browser.

First of all, you need to figure out what exactly your problem is - videos on YouTube are not loading, or is the service itself not loading?

The plug-in Adobe Flash Player is responsible for downloading and playing videos on the Internet. If it has not been updated to the latest version, then there may be problems with downloading, watching video clips.

If there are no problems with playing video clips on the Internet, but there are problems with only one or two browsers, then we can assume that a new version of the Adobe Flash Player plug-in is installed on the computer itself.

And since in Yandex Browser, Google Chrome this player is built-in, Adobe Flash Player is not always updated automatically, sometimes this procedure needs to be done manually.

Even if the browser is updated, the player may not be updated. Let's look at how to update Adobe Flash Player in Yandex browser and Google Chrome.

Browser Refresh

The easiest way is to remove the problematic browser, download a new one, but this does not always help, since even a new browser may have an old version of the plugin.

Yes, delete the working browser, in which various working settings, extensions, add-ons are saved, this means configuring everything anew for yourself.

I will advise you the following, if you do not have any special settings, necessary extensions, other necessary things, then you can safely delete such a browser, download a new one from the official website.

If this option does not suit you, or if the problem persists after updating the browser, then consider the next method - manually updating the Adobe Flash Player plug-in in the Yandex browser.

We update Adobe Flash Player in Yandex browser manually

Launch Yandex browser, in a new tab, enter the address in the search bar: browser: // plugins

Before us is a page for the settings of plugins installed in the browser by default, they help it work quickly and efficiently.

Look at the installed plugin number. If it's outdated, an update will be required.

How to update Adobe Flash Player plugin files in a browser

If the plug-in has not been updated when reinstalling the browser, then you can change it forcibly, manually.

First of all, close your browser and you can turn off the Internet. Open show hidden system folders and files.

This can be done by opening any folder, at the top click on "view", then at the top right "folder settings", the "view" tab and in the "Advanced settings" uncheck the line "hide protected system files", then check the box next to "Show hidden folders, files disks ".

NPSWF ***. Dll (instead of *** - the version number is indicated);
plugin.vch.

Instead, copy the same files from the Windows \ System32 \ Macromed \ Flash folder, install them in place of the deleted files. Next, restart your browser.

For some users, the necessary files may be in other folders, you can see the path to them on the browser settings page, I already wrote about this above.

For what reasons is YouTube still not working in Yandex browser?

This can be either a problem with the browser's allocated memory (the cache is full), or an internal conflict between installed plugins / updates for the browser.

Disable all applications, plugins you installed, see if the problem is gone?

If YouTube appears and works fine, then reconnect the extensions, see after each connection which of the installed applications or plugins interferes with the operation of the YouTube channel.

YouTube doesn't work in Yandex browser? Some users have problems using the service. It is necessary to understand the possible causes, and only then suggest ways to troubleshoot.

YouTube is by far the most popular video hosting. Why has it become so popular in our country?

The main thing is that YouTube is an alternative to television and offers completely new formats.
You can access various content.
YouTube is a relatively free platform where you can express your opinion.

It is gradually developing, renewing and getting better.

You can use different browsers to view videos on your computer. Some people use Yandex browser. In fact, it is a modification of Chrome, and even created on its engine.

But Yandex specialists have developed their own design and added a few tricks. Yandex browser is in no way inferior to Chrome. It provides the same capabilities and has a number of additional features.

But why does YouTube not work in Yandex browser, a white screen appears, etc.? There can be many causes of problems, but we will list the most common ones:

The content is too heavy for your device.
The cache is full.
There is malware on the computer.
Problems with the hosts file.
Service failures.
No internet access.
Browser issues, etc.

YouTube does not work in Yandex browser - what to do?

If YouTube stops working, the video does not start and does not load, then you need to look for the reason. Typically, the user has to consistently check different versions of the problem in order to finally fix the problem.

Overflowed cache

Problems with YouTube in Yandex browser? A full cache could be the cause. In the internal memory, the application saves various files that it may need in the future.

As a result, the cache gets clogged, it can disrupt the functioning of the program. It is recommended that you clean up and remove junk files from your computer. You need:

Open the section with settings.
Find the item "Clear download history".
Select the cache to be deleted.
Confirm the operation.
Restart the application.

Delete the cookie

Cookies are files that are used to store information about a user. They are widely used on websites and facilitate human interaction with the portal. But cookies can also disrupt the functioning of the browser.

For cleaning you will need:

Open the menu.
Go to settings.
Find the "Clear download history" section.
Mark cookies with a tick.
Confirm deletion.
Restart the program.

Important! Cookies are used by many sites to keep active user sessions. Therefore, after cleaning, you will have to re-login to various portals.

Viruses

Virus problems are especially true for Windows. Not to say that there are none at all on other platforms. It's just that Windows is the most popular operating system, so most viruses are written for it.

Malicious software can disrupt the functioning of the browser and block various functions. You need to follow these steps:

Download any anti-virus application.
Enable startup scan in the program.
Restart your computer.
After starting, a system scan is activated.
Wait until the end of the procedure, it may take several hours. But at startup, you can perform a deep scan of the PC.
After scanning is complete, information about the infected objects detected is displayed. You can delete or quarantine them.

Hosts file

YouTube videos not playing? Perhaps errors in hosts prevent you from watching videos. To fix the situation, you will need:

Open File Explorer.
Go to the section along the path C: \ Windows \ System32 \ drivers \ etc.
Find a file in the list and right-click on it.
In the menu that appears, select the "Open with" item.
A list of suitable applications is displayed. Click on Notepad.
Remove all entries below line 127.0.0.1 localhost.
If there is a line :: 1 localhost under it, then you do not need to erase it. But delete what's underneath.
Confirm saving the changes and restart the browser.

Low internet speed

Doesn't load Youtube in Yandex browser? Perhaps the reason is the low speed of the Internet. There is not enough network bandwidth to stream video at the specified quality. What can you do:

Connect a tariff with a higher speed provider.
If the parameters are lower than those stated, then it is worth contacting the support service of your operator.
You can lower the quality of the video by clicking on the gear icon.

It is possible that the video is too "heavy" for your computer. For example, you have chosen 4K quality, and the device simply cannot process it due to insufficient performance.

Of course, you can change the components in the computer and improve its performance. But it's better to lower the bitrate by choosing the optimal setting for your device.
