Only one youtube video won't play

I'm trying to make a game with an intro video I animated. I uploaded the video to youtube, it's public, working and visible from other computers and other channels (I checked on my brother's account on his laptop), and it keeps giving me the "The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback." This, despite the fact it has no qualms about playing literally any other youtube video I've tested.

Thank you for your time, and any and all help is appreciated.

Probably not the cause, but make sure you have the right code embedded. It's the only thing I could think of. Whenever I had issues with vids, that was the cause.

I believe, in the link above, you would just need to paste all the stuff after youtu.be/ - so, Po8ur7qWAnA

Or, in this one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExVtrghW5Y4 (copied from desktop) - everything after the equals sign.

Good luck!

I don't think so. I've tried typing it in by hand and copying and pasting from multiple sources (the embed code, the hyperlink). And just using the ID, not the whole string.

And thanks! Hopefully this will sort itself one way or another. :)

Can you share the link here and I can try it? Or, if you prefer, I can share my email and you can email the link and I can try from my end.

Sure here it is:

It's super short.

I tried testing it out again today, and I got a new error message: "Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video."

Anyone know what this means? Again, it's only on this one video. All other videos I've tried work like a dream.

I just tried it on my end and everything worked just fine. I used this as the YouTube ID: pFC-vijoHY8 (everything after the 'equal to' sign).

Now... are you using the online version of Quest or the desktop version?

Desktop.

But, you can play it through your normal internet browser from your computer, just not through Quest?

At this point, I'm sorry to say that I do not have a solution for you. Perhaps one of the more computer savvy folks here will offer a solution. Good luck!

Yep. Works fine on my browser, and all other videos work fine in Quest.

Even so, thank you so much for your time! I really appreciate it. :)

Hey! It just decided to start working! Still not sure why it wasn't in the first place or what happened to make it work.
