video player doesn't work now

[jhnnylikes]

When I try to play a video, instead of the quicktime player showing up, it only shows text. Tons and tons of text, no video.

Are you sure it's a video?

 

[jhnnylikes]

Yes. My QuickTime player used to show up and start playing the videos. Now just a bunch of text shows up. Does it on any site I go to when I try to play video.

Does the text have a message? or it just random text flying across the screen? can you give us an example of a site with video that used to play that doesn't anymore? then someone can navigate there on their iPhone and see what happens. It may be the site and not your phone.

Here is a movie trailer for example.

just random text shows up. I had to take out the "."s because it won't let me post a link unless I have 10 posts here.

It does it on every site I go to.

try rebooting, I'm going to that site and see what happens just to confirm.

Are you saying just power it off and then back on? I've done that 3 times. If there is more to it, please let me know.

 

[jhnnylikes]

Any suggestions? Powering on and off hasn't helped. Thanks

This is what happens when I go there , I think its a broken link

Not a broken link as it works fine on my pc, but it's not encoded properly for the iPhone to display it.

This happened to me as well. Go to settings>safari and make sure plug-ins is ON.
Hope this helps!
