  • you're not sorry :/

  • its not just countries its also FUCKING VIACOM

  • holy crap i think i know who's doing this..viacom..*hisses*

  • HEY guys i have had this problem do u think u can help me? If yes, thank you if u just look at ALL of my videos and send me a message that says which ones are copyrighted? That would be a HUGE help :) Thx~

  • About ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL..[...] ... The videos i've ever seen THIS never happend to me xD I don't know why lol

  • i know how to skip it if it says that! i will make a video soon so subscribe

  • Every second video on a playlist is pitch black with this message : We're sorry, this video is no longer available when i click on it a second time it works...YOUTUBE IS BEING F****D BY SOMEONE

  • This is rediculous - has started happening to me again in the last few days - every second video.

  • hey i found A way just type in

    0:01

    and refresh the page and then click the comment you put which is now a link and wait a while like 1 minute the most then you will maybe watch it.

    unfortually, this is the best solution i have found, but it works on some videos.

  • I know how to get it to work. You just refresh the page. And keep clicking on the box of the video when it shows the circle thing. Works all the time.

  • uninstall adobe flash player then reinstall .. worked for me

  • I dont know why But firefox or the Regular internet says that It is very frustrating when I found out that it didnt work on any of my friends computers And when I uploaded I got the same crap I dont why But youtube is probably behind all of this shit. Because maybe of the updates to the site or the blackout And I dont use google I only use yahoo And I checked my lan options And the box wasnt checked at all Who Knows what is going on?

  • HURP DURP DURP GOD YOU ARE SO DUMB.

  • dbagbbless you are idiot dont call me dumb because I dont konw something that right there is being an asshole

  • first off, no i didnt drop out, i just got accepted into uni for engineering. second, you are fourteen, so you dont have a highschool education, at least not a complete one. third, you are AMERICAN, and the american high school education system sucks ass, i went to america as a transfer student in year 11, and while there i did maths and sciences from when i was in year 8. i pity you.

  • Wow, you are so superior, you feel good?

  • no i feel happy because someone finally took the trollbait. lol

  • i tried watching THIS video, but the were sorry this video is no longer avalable came up! XD

  • i agree with the copyright theory... if you notice, all the videos u cat see is about a game, a cover of a song, a tv show, all those things that need copyright... so it's kinda true... but if its going to be this way, youtube gonna be way worst... we gonna have to go to metacafe or vimeo or something else xD

  • its because of the people who upload videos!this is the story just read it all 

    People are uploading Animation and show videos without copyrights and now the company which makes these shows sued you tube 75billion dollars and they threatened you tube if they don't pay they will delete all their videos 1 by 1

    yeah so u guys get some freaking copyrights its for free!

  • this is so f*^&%#cking frustrating... x_X

    i can't even upload one video anymore, or it is: We're sorry this video is no longer available

  • I Use This Code &fmt=18

    We're sorry, this video is no longer available

    ARE YOUTUBE RACIS

  • yeah no.

    random sxe phil videos and stuff dont work for me too.

    you're an idiot.

    also, Shaw Communications, and canada

  • I can't watch a video of myself playing my own song. "John Malcolm @ The Joynt" go figure. I can watch anything else, and can even add a comment on the video's page.

  • okay first go to

    tools,then click internet options,conections,lan settings and if any boxes are ckeked UNKECK THEM

  • Because that video been eaten by Youtube stuff

  • what a load of conspiratical bullshit

  • im sorry i cant watch this because "WE'RE SORRY THIS VIDEO IS NO LONGER AVAILIBLE!"

  • Here's a way that worked for me: Use Google Chrome.

    It's that simple. When ever you want to watch a video on YouTube, use Chrome instead of whatever browser you were using. It 100% works.

    How did I think of this? Well, YouTube is owned by Google and so is Chrome (obviously). I figured that Chrome would be perfectly optimized for watching videos on YouTube, and I was right. I never got this stupid message since I started using Chrome for watching YouTube videos. Hope I helped.

  • but when i use Chrome

    it's show me this message

    "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player."

    i use lastest version..

    but it still show me like this

  • That's weird. Fool around with the settings in Chrome and see if JavaScript is turned off or anything like that.

  • it still doesnt work with google chrome, i downloaded it and tried...no use, its just shitty youtube

  • Blame the NWO...welcome to the new world. where your freedom is not a right but a privelledge, only the few who have access to all videos ie gov't. If you do not obey these policies you will be sent far away to be "re educated" yes.

  • Which is why you're still free to post that.

    You fail@logic.

  • after deleting cookies and Temp files, and

    still not working. log off xp, and log on

    back.

  • This worked for me:

    In your browser, go to tools

    Then internet options,

    Under Temporary internet files

    Click on Delete cookies and also

    Click on delete files.

    Now close your browser, and open

    Your browser again.

    That's it, You can watch the videos.

  • Change your country content from Worldwide(all) to other country and it should probably works ^__^.

    I changed my country preference to India and it works fine with me.

    You can find the link of country content on the upper left of this page, just on the right side next to YouTube logo.

  • you are the best lol now they work india is the best lol guys u should try

  • Awesome ^__^ good to hear that it works with you.

  • you are the best it worked for me :) guys u should try it 2 ... and really 10x

  • &fmt=18 Doesn't work for me.

  • the same videos work somtimes.

  • you're right i think its the isp and not youtube that is doing the blocking because i can see the video using a transparent proxy...

    youtube still knows its me who is accessing the video because the proxy spills my ip address. But it seems when i use a proxy my isp no longer knows that i am connecting to youtube which is why it allows me to see the video...

  • im from lebanon

    i've been getting this problem alot recently

    when i use proxies i can see the vids, otherwise i cant...

    whats with that? is it an isp block or a youtube block? who is putting the restrictions?

  • This sounds like an ISP restriction.

    Either they want to restrict traffic or content, or perhaps both.

    Have you tried setting different regions, or the (in)famous &fmt=18 at the end of the URL?

  • adding &fmt=18 at the end of the url worked.

    that's odd...

  • adding &fmt=18 to the end of the get_video url also allows you to download the movie...

    this is very wierd i had no idea our isp would even have software that can restrict content...

  • okay the fmt=18 thing stopped working :S

  • @imadthemad

    sometimes it says, its WMG, somtimes is Sonic Music Entertainment, its just these bullshitters who block.

  • Hey,

    I Haven't Even Downloaded Google web acc. EVER

    I live in the United Arab eMeRaTeS and had this problem for a year when i turn my proxy on most of the vids work without it 99.9% of the vids just fuck them selfs pm me if u have the solotion PLZ. btw what does PL0X mean ???

  • To fix problem:

    Turn off Google Web Accelerator.

  • To fix problem:

    Turn off Google Web Accelerator.

  • if you dont want vaicom to be the youtube owner he deletes accounts well join my group!!! go to my channel press groups and join the group!!! he deletes vids and subbers aswell!!

  • this is so annoying.if this still keeps up for a nother week i wont be visiting youtube again for some time. argh.

  • what you have to do is that,if your seeing a video ,after the link you double clikk so that there is the cursor.then paste this &fmt=18 and press enter you should see it .enjoy!!!!!

  • i thought that was for higher quality

  • oh nvm kinggorg is right when you add &fmt=18 the vid should work in higher quality.

  • im in UAE i used to get this message after i used a new PC on the old one it work smoothly

    i dont know where is the prblem

    if someone can help to fix this

  • It sounds like there may be multiple solutions for different folks. So what others post here may not work for you. Try this though. Under Tools, click Internet Options, then pick the Connections tab. Then open the LAN settings window. If it's selected, uncheck the Automatically detect Settings option. This worked for me.

  • you stupid idiot spammer tridenSF you suck you have no life you just troll around the comments and spam with this HD video shit, NOBODY FUCKING CARES!

  • I think the most frustrating part is that YouTube refuses to acknowledge the problem. Click on the "help" link at the top of this page, then click "current site issues." Notice that this problem is not listed. Then scroll to the bottom of the page and note "last updated 4/9/2008." Thanks for keeping on top of your problems, YouTube.

  • is this something to do with those free world hating twats at viacom who are getting all youtube users details? cos this thing started happening about the same time as that was in the papers. To anyone opposed to freely sharing videos on the internet as was origionally intended, i say SCREW YOU, YOU GREEDY FACSIST SCUM!

  • lmao its not about china or other countries something is wrong with the web or player

  • Go see my video for a solution on how to fix this problem!

    Doesnt work for every one but like 6 out of 10 people so just comme and look this might work for you!!!

  • "We're sorry, this video is no longer available."

    I even got this when I tried watching THIS video :@

  • dude...when u hit the "watch in high quality" the only thing u do is to refresh the video...

    If u really want to watch something that is uno longer available it's easyer just to hit the refresh button...or F5 a few times until it start playing...

  • Try hitting the button right underneath the video (if available) that says "watch in high quality". It worked for me then. And then I hit "watch in standard quality" and it worked fine then too. It's weird

    But I went back an hour later and tried, but couldn't view it until I hit that button again.

    It's annoying, but it worked for me. It's worth a shot.

  • I don't have Google accelerator, and I still have this problem. It bothers me that YouTube hasn't communicated much about this other than a short useless blurb on their help page. Obviously many people are struggling with this..Vancouver, BC

  • I live in Malta using cable internet (friends with ADSL have same prob as well) - this happens randomly on various categories of videos, so I cannot attribute it to specific ones. Sometimes later in the day the video will become available, the next minute unavailable :(

  • Happens to me too. If an alternative to YOUTUBE comes available with the same breadth of choice, I'm outta here.

  • canada

    omg...

    that happens to me alot

  • Grr, I'm in New Zealand. I can't think of a reason why all these videos won't work for me.

  • i live in NZ too....

    actually, r u using google accelerator on ur webpage? cuz the same problem happened to me and when i turned it off, the videos could load again

  • why hasn't youtube posted this issue on there website under bugs????????

  • yea man,, they obviously know that lots of ppl are having this problem.. apparently theyre just ignoring us? =/

    im really starting to get pissed at youtube!

  • Of course all the gay advertising movie trailers still work, SUX.

  • I'm in the US. If I change IP by logging on to a different network they'll work. Problem is I have to leave my secure network to do it. Stupid crappy UTUBE. One day it works the next nothing.

  • posting from sydney, australia.

    90% of the vids i try to watch say "video is no longer available"

  • It's so annoying!

  • Solution: change IP or change location, only option that might work. This bullshit is pissing me off tooo. I can't think of any other option. Youtube should pull their finger out n fix this problem! I think internet cafe's r gunna go broke cause of this cause it seems 2 work at athis other cafe I go 2/.

  • Man, about 95% of all videos I watch are like this. I'm in Australia, I use Mozilla Firefox and I've updated the flash things. What's the problem?

  • exact same with me it's really pissing me off.

    If anyone knows how to fix plz tell me!

  • it happen to me and all da good vidoes dnt work

  • this video plays on the australian site, but not global, like a lot of users I can only see about 20% of videos, and i have tried most of the recomended trouble shooting tips sometimes they work once but thats it, every other video site such as live leak etc. works no problem. there seems to be no definitive answer, this problem popped up few months ago, then everything was fine, but for the last 5 days it hasn't changed

  • 80% of the videos I watch give me this fucking message on my pc!

    but the weird thing is that they work on the Wii and my iPod Touch :S

  • Are you using Google Web Accelerator?  Try stopping it, and see if it solves the problem. Fixed all of my playback errors.

  • Ok, People, YouTube is being sued big-time by Viacom. To help their case, they're trying to somehow limit access to copyright infringing videos. Obviously it's not working as planned. And they'd probably be better off just telling us. So NO IT'S NOT Web Accelerator.! God, how much to you get paid to promote that crap.!

  • Are they going to fix the problem?

  • Ok well did you also put your "site" top far right, to global after that too?

  • IT'S NECESSARY TO ADD &fmt=18 TO THE END OF THE URL IF THE ANNOYING MESSAGE "WE'RE SORRY, THIS VIDEO IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE" APPEARS!!!

  • I've tried something like that but got another error msg but I think I did it wrong, I'll try &fmt=18 at the end of the URL at the other internet cafe cause that's where I seem 2 have trouble, it seems 2 b fine here. It could b 2 do with the internet connection.

  • Okay guys, I just got off the phone to Shaw and a guy there had a suggestion which seems  to work for my computer. I have been able to view the past five videos in a row! He asked if I use Internet Explorer and then gave me the following directions: Click on tools, click on Internet Options, click on Connections, Click on Lan Settings. If "Automatically Detect Settings" is checked, UNCHECK it. That was it. Good Luck!

  • Oh, you can also install Google Accelerator, and then when it appears in the Internet Explorer menu, turn it "Off" from the drop-down. This also works. I have no idea why.

  • it doesnt work...

  • Oh yeah, i tried that but it didn't work. When I uninstalled google web accelerator it was fixed though...lol Like I didn't even have it to begin with which was screwed...

  • This may not be the most elegant solution (but it worked for me).

    If you are sure that the Google Accelerator is not the issue, then try this:

    Download and install the Flock browser and give it a try. Seach flock browser in google.

    And... it should work.

    If I open up Internet Explorer on most videos I get the "we're sorry" error, but loading it up with Flock works perfectly - weird.

    Enjoy

  • i'm using flock, but i still get a massive amount of those error messages. ARGH!

  • Seems to me that it mostly happens with content posted less than 2-3 days ago that isn't uploaded by a YouTube partner.. Yet for some reason several people can still see the video. Ugh. It's so annoying!

  • Hi if you have any accelerator try disabling it - we have propel accelerator installed on our pc and if you disable it then videos load fine.

  • I tried to view a help post and got the same message I used to be able to view video posts took ages to download and then one day this message on everything !

  • to all of this its the google accelerator or you dont have flash or you dont have a direct x device. uninstall completly the web accelerator if you have it. install adobe flash player. and make sure you have the direct x. but from all this the main coprate is web accelerator. the way accelerator works is to get the page as fast as possible so it blocks out all the things that you dont command it to do like play a vid just delete web accelerator unitl they fix the bug

  • some vids like the second most viewd video all time

    and most viewd music video all time

    when i try watching it the stupit thing gives me the msg

  • to all of this its the google accelerator or you dont have flash or you dont have a direct x device. uninstall completly the web accelerator if you have it. install adobe flash player. and make sure you have the direct x. but from all this the main coprate is web accelerator. the way accelerator works is to get the page as fast as possible so it blocks out all the things that you dont command it to do like play a vid just delete web accelerator unitl they fix the bug

  • this solution doesnt work. I never had accelerator, but i installed then uninstalled it like people are saying.

    I also installed all the newest direct x and adobe flash software.. it STILL doesnt work..

    and im FUCKEN ANGRY with youtube!!!

  • Only 1 of my videos is doing this, so it CANNOT be the FLASH player. I've tried to contact YouTube and I get canned responses. (My video is of my raccoon swimming in the backyard pool.) I tried uploading the video again (since it is no longer avail) and it was "Rejected (duplicate upload)".

  • I don't know what the problem is but it's not China (unless China doesn't want me watching Dr. Who and Ave Maria videos!) and it sure as heck ain't google web accelerator.! Something else is up. I'm sure it's the ISP's. But then why is YouTube censoring so many posts here.?

  • yeah but I had that problem... like only 10 % of videos would work, and then I installed google web accelerator, then I turned it on and off, in tools and toolbars, and then I uninstalled it when that didn't work, and now I have a 100% video viewing success rate. Try turning it on and off then uninstalling it

  • I've 7.3 hours of downloading so far.

  • i get this most of the vids i want to watch.. im from bahrain ,,

  • It must be a flash player issue.

  • i think it is a flashplayer issue so do u just have to download an updated version or sumthin

  • which one do you need to download?

  • um no idea but if i were to download it would work again

  • Isn't this annoying? LOL...

  • haha yes i tried to click get the latest flash player and it wont even let me

  • I might defect to Yahoo videos for awhile. But still like to make comments here!

  • haha good idea

  • you gotta love YouTube's censorship policy. I've seen posts using the most foul, hateful language against gays and blacks remain for weeks. Yet anything of mine remotely critical of YouTube or Google seems to disappear within a day. Nice going, guys...

  • pretty much all videos, im surprissed this one loaded, it didnt help worth shyt either. I dont got google or a web accelerater asd far as i know.

  • Fuck you YouTube.

  • the videos are still there, you just have to click on refresh until they play, sometimes you have to delete your browsing history too.... it all started since they did they're last maintainance update....... maybe after they do they're next one they will resolve this problem.

  • Yo, Canucks. I did install it and uninstall it. It still doesn't work. And some videos will work and some won't. The videos I just watched last night ON THIS COMPUTER FROM THIS ISP don't work now. And all of these videos I can watch from work (which has its own ISP server).

  • fark this, I am off to daily motion.

  • Um did you even try what I said?

  • yo but seriously if you don't have webaccelerator just instalkl it then uninstall it immediately, it will fix the problem, hahah

  • i tried it, i tried refresh many times, i tried various problems, installed new flash player, installed newest java nothing haappened!! Can anyone please help me! {At least i can still write comments, but it is useless if i haven't seen the video:(}

  • Actually ZI had to install it then uninstall it. The turning it on and off didn't work. Just install and uninstall google web accelerator. If it has nothing to do with webaccelerator why once I installed and installed it, did it fix the iussue?

  • oops uninstalled*

  • i installed it then uninstalled it in the hope that videos would start to work again.. and to no avail..

  • Many videos are blocked on my desktop pc but will play on my laptop...???

  • All you gotta do to FIX this is Install Google web Accelerator.. Then right click the Icon and turn it off, this works

  • No it doesn't.

  • I turned off the google web accelerator and that solved the problem for me

  • for me too.

  • It's very simple. It's just a bug. Nothing is blocked. All videos, every single one on YouTube, behaves this way. When I see this message, I hit refresh. Eventually it starts playing, proving that it is not blocked content.

  • how many times do you hit refresh...? It doesn't work for me dude, it's only been recent... maybe there's some law against youtube, i notice all the cats that snore and amature stuff is still up, anything that has to do with a music video or anything about a famous person is blocked. Not all but most.

  • I experimented a bit, I selected 20 videos, stuff that is copyrighted, stuff that is very obviously not copyrighted, even one of my own videos. 3 did not give this message. 5 played after 1 refresh. 3 only played after more than 30 refreshes, but they all played eventually. Very frustrating. Oh, and I also tried it with a video embedded on another site. Got the message 5 times before it played.

  • Hey things are really weird videos of ANY subject are blocked.

  • Im also from Australia, and this problem started getting more common with different videos on different subjects. so i dont think its just to do with the china/tibet issue. with me, sometimes itd be a case where if this error showed up in one browser id use another and itd work. but now the problem is starting to be seen on all browsers i use. =S i use opera, firefox and ie. hopefully this problem gets fixed soon!

  • I'm having this problem, and I'm in Australia. I'm on youtube quite a bit, and have only started having this trouble in the last couple of days. Very few videos load for me. I'm not using google accelerator, or anything different from what I was using, say, a week or two ago, when everything was fine.

    Youtube have obviously changed something about how their site is coded or delivered. Hopefully this has nothing to do with intentional regional censorship or information control.

  • I don't think that is the case! because as I live in China,there are some youtube videos work fine for me while one of my friend in another city of the country cannot watch most any.Or is it that the government only block the content in certain cities?

  • It started happening a few months after I started using the &fmt=18 thing, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

  • This only started for me w/in the last three weeks.

    I only wish that Youtube would can that snivelling pathetic "We're sorry," garbage because I hate them even being or pretending to be apologetic.

    By the way, I use Windows Vista...

    Could it also be my internet provider?

    Somebody please tell me...

  • almost every video is being blocked for me... YOUTUBE IS DIEING!

  • Cesco Im in the same boat as you. No exellerator. If you google it you will see loads about it but no definitive answer.

    I emailed youtube twice and both times was

    told about accelerator and to disable and pop up blockers. Didnt work and Im really getting frustrated as there is silence from youtube

  • This isn't the fucking reason look at my videos it tells you how to fix "We're sorry, this video is no longer available."

  • Dude, ppl keep saying its the web excellerator, but ive never downloaded it, so how could i have it???

  • well i live in HK,and most of the video i tryied to watch on youtube are No longer available,why? I DON"T FUKING KNOW!!!!

  • i am having tsh problem in a weird way..like i uploaded my class film that i made..its an animation..n it goes like giving tsh msg in the end...but everyone else i know can see my video..but i have tried several computers but i cant see my own.....also a friend in class uploaded 2d animation..which he says he can see and others can too but i CANNOT..although i can see everythin else

    !

  • And I agree with someone else here. I am sooo sick of hearing how I just need to turn off Google web accelerator. I've NEVER had it on.! Can noone explain why this is happening.?

  • I'm having the same problem. Could it be because of the service provider?? i tried three computers formatted mine and still the vast majority of videos display this message.

  • China my eye. something else is going on here.  I wonder if Windows media player is somehow blocking these.?

  • I've had lots of my videos blocked including pictures of my mares and foals in a field. That can't be political can it. Sometimes some videos seem to be blocked and then they aren't.

    James (VagueShot)

  • this is not caused because of web accelerator or IP or anything else! it's from YouTube it self! they need to fucking fix it!!!!or I'm gonna go bananas!!!! ahhhh!

  • It's so bad for me, that I can't even watch this video!!!!!!

  • I got the this problem with one of my own videos.. cant watch my own video..

    Im not violating a $%^ I filmed that crapp myself..

    How can i make it watchable again?

  • I installed Google Web Acellerator a few days ago and haven't been able to view YouTube since. Uninstalled it and he ho welcome back to YouTube

  • can watch any jonas brother vids! this is drivin me MAD

  • Just see my latest Call of Duty 4 video and try viewing it in High Quality the Standard Quality.

    It's this stupid player P***ing me off.

  • it keepz hapenin but i just refresh a few times and it works, its annoying tho

  • it happens to me on explorer and firefox ....alot plz help me if you know how to solve a the problem . i have a flash player 9 . i dont c where the problem is. msg me plz

  • happened to me as well

    it was a runescape music video, I tried to access directly from youtube

    also, it only happens when I try watching it in high quality

  • MIND : in front of this message : " we' re sorry, this video is no longer available ", click on 2 or 3 occasions on " UPDATE THE CURRENT PAGE " or Refresh button (the one with circular blue arrow). This may solve some of the problems which came from the new interface (as far as I know). Then it starts.

  • Erratum : Utiliser le bouton avec la flèche circulaire situé SUR la barre de navigation (SOUS le menu affichage - dans la disposition par défaut).

  • I open most of the videos by clicking on Refresh button.

    Je parviens à ouvrir la plupart des vidéos en réactualisant une ou deux fois la page courante. (Utiliser le bouton avec la flèche circulaire situé sous le menu affichage de la barre de navigation).

  • this has been increasing exponentially? like a virus. its driving me nuts. i noticed that all music videos and commercials have been blocked. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? i found a way to access them though.. but i cant say here :S i dont want 'them' to find out and block it too

  • it's happeing all the time to me also - did you eve find an answer?

  • who built this site must remove all those bugs immediately! wtf? this video is no longer available, then i do refresh and it starts to be available! wtf?? those error started like two weeks ago right? why is this starting to happen?!

  • I cant watch all the metal videos i used to watch, even a video called "This video is no longer available" has been blocked for me

  • It appears to have sorted itself now. No?

  • this is bullshit every video i try to watch says tat shit

  • teah totally i can't even watch my own videos its totally dumb and everything is a,ways slower or doesn't work

  • It's terrible, isn't it? If it isn't some stupid copyright claim ruining our fun, it's YouTube's technology failing miserably.

  • wow, right now this video IS "not avilable".

  • Whats going on YOUTUBE? I cant load any new videos. Videos i view are taking years to upload!!!Also it says "we're sorry...blah blah blah...no longer available!!!" when the video clearly is 2 minutes later!!!!????

  • It's (quite obviously) a technical fault. ):
