Youtube – “We’re sorry, this video is no longer available”
I’m getting pretty annoyed with the Youtube Error – “We’re sorry, this video is no longer available”- that seems to be popping up more and more regularly these days.
So here are a couple of fixes:
- Easiest way is to do a CTRL-F5 which will totally refresh the page from the Youtube Server
- Append one of the following tags onto the end of the URL
&fmt=6
&fmt=18
&fmt=16
So the following URL -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJV_khosQCk would become http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJV_khosQCk&fmt=6 - If you a SAIX ADSL account add the following proxy server into your settings in Firefox or IE
dsl-cache.saix.net Port 8080 - If you got any Firefox plugins like Google Download accelerator set them to bypass youtube.com domain.
Hope this helps :)

That’s cool – I use a lot of videos on my site. I had been thinking it was me or something, because the videos I pick are kid friendly and wouldn’t get pulled or anything.

Thank you! I thought i was going friggin crazy, uploading and re-uploading and relinking. This will save some of my sanity.

I don’t get that problem with single embedded videos, but I do get it with embedded playlists. Should I put videos that include &fmt=18 into the playlist?

This error is prevelent everywhere..
It’s on my site atm actually. A flippin funny video that I uploaded myself has “gone”. I didn’t delete it.. Google….bleh.
To make it worse, it sometimes works if you crtl F5.. pushing up the page impressions…

YouTube now goes “Sasasasasasasasasasasasasasa SA!” when a video is broke and there is a dancing ballerina. :O

Easy fix, for all windows vers. In internet explorer go into Tools/Internet Options/Connections Tab/Lan Setting. Once in Lan Settings, uncheck all boxes. ALL youtube videos will load now.
Pass it on.
