I can't watch my older videos in the Vimeo Bugs Forum

Catzie Keng 2 months ago

Hello!

I'm trying to view my some of my videos that were uploaded 4 months ago. I used to be able to watch them, but now I can't. When I try to view them, the spot where the video should be is just a white space. There's a lot of them that cannot be watched anymore. I think there is at least 30-40 videos that I can't watch.

I can watch the videos that have been uploaded more recently.

hmm. i just tested 4 of your oldest videos and they all played fine for me. if you are still having this issue, can you please post the video page url's you cannot play.

This time the videos that I can't watch aren't showing white spaces anymore, they are now "Loading" screens, but the videos never load at all.

Here are just some of the videos that I can't watch.

vimeo.com/452454
vimeo.com/452343
vimeo.com/452388

I asked a friend if he could watch these videos and he said the same thing, they show "Loading" screens but the videos never load at all.

i am able to watch every one of these videos (the public ones) so i am a little bit lost as to why you and all of your friends cannot view them. can you try updating flash and see if that helps?

I have the same problem as Catzie Keng with one of my videos:

vimeo.com/904648

People have written to me and one commented on the video's page that it is no longer working and I cant watch it either and I have tried from 4 different computers. All it does is show white with the vimeo loading icon ani but it never is available

One of my HD videos no longer has its SD version either. It used to work... it seems to have disappeared a few weeks ago.

Any new developments on why this is happening to videos after a while?

Greets,
I can't see ANY (it's just blank) video on your great site :(
But I can see the thumbnails from the videos...
Firefox 2.0.0.14, Flashplayer 9,0,124,0 and the caché was deleted.

My flash player is updated, yet I cannot watch the videos.

Ah, I found the problem:
It was a conflict wiht another player. I deinstalled divx web player.

Mr. Blake Whitman has the issue been found that is causing this on older videos?

Did the original file get corrupted? Do we need to upload the videos again that this happens to?

Any new updates as to why this is happening to certain videos and what needs to be done to correct the issue?
