Windows 7 Embedded Youtube Videos not showing in IE9

[Bunkei]

IE9 beta is very very promising. So much so that I'm using it as my default browser. I ran into one small problem. Embedded youtube videos will not show up on any sites other than Youtube's. I've tried adding Youtube, Google, etc to the 'trusted sites', but that hasn't solved the issue. I have a friend who runs IE8 with no modifications and can see embedded youtube videos just fine. Here's the site for comparison's sake: Shoryuken - Home

I did reinstall all of the flash players to the latest version. In fact, the embedded videos at the above site appears just fine in Chrome and Firefox. Normally, I don't post in forums for answers because I firmly believe that "Google is your friend." But after 3 hours of searching, I'm no close to an answer. I went on Microsoft's answer site, and only got generic responses of procedures I've already done.

Here's some details

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Browser: Internet Explorer 9 beta (32-bit/64-bit)
Adobe Flash Plugin v10.1.85.3 (32-bit) v10.2.161.23 (64-bit)

Any ideas? )

It seems like you are encountering an issue with embedded YouTube videos not displaying properly in Internet Explorer 9 beta. This can be frustrating, especially when other browsers like Chrome and Firefox are working fine with the same videos. Here are some troubleshooting steps and suggestions you can try to resolve the issue: 1. Compatibility View Settings: - Try adding the website where embedded videos are not working to the Compatibility View settings in Internet Explorer. This can sometimes help in rendering the content correctly. - To do this, go to the website, click on the gear icon in IE9, select "Compatibility View settings," and add the website to the list. 2. Reset Internet Explorer Settings: - Resetting IE9 settings can sometimes resolve display issues. To reset settings, go to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab > Reset. 3. Check Security Settings: - Ensure that the security settings in Internet Explorer are not blocking third-party content or scripts that are essential for playing embedded videos. Adjust security settings as needed. 4. Update Adobe Flash: - Although you mentioned reinstalling Flash, ensure that you have the latest version of Adobe Flash installed for both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of IE9. 5. Update Internet Explorer: - Since you are using the beta version of IE9, consider updating to the stable release version. Beta versions may have certain issues that are resolved in the stable release. 6. Check Add-ons: - Disable any unnecessary add-ons in IE9 as they might be causing conflicts with video playback. 7. Check for Windows Updates: - Ensure that your Windows 7 operating system is up to date with the latest patches and updates. Sometimes, system updates can resolve compatibility issues. 8. Test in a New User Profile: - Create a new user profile on your computer and test if the issue persists in the new profile. This can help determine if the problem is specific to your user account. If after trying these steps the issue still persists, you may want to consider using a different browser for viewing embedded videos until a solution is found for IE9.
