I haven't gotteen to this suggestion yet - but, I've shut down half my Extensions and, now, I get the voice of the Youtube videos - but still not the video. Thought this clue might help.

 

'Video Cannot be Played - File is Corrupt'

I see that you've also asked this question on a Windows 10 forum ('Video Cannot be Played - File is Corrupt'). What operating system are you using?

Yes.

Please start by providing some background information.

• What browser(s) you're using?
  
• Where are you obtaining the videos?
  
• Does the problem occur with live streams from different sources?
  
• If the problem only started recently, what happened just before that?
  
  • Was your browser updated?
    
  • Have you uninstalled and reinstalled the browser?
    
• What sort of Internet connection do you have? Have you experienced any other connection issues, e.g., slow downloads?
