Hi friends. I just downloaded a video from youtube. "Today was a fairy tale"- taylor swift to my 15.6 inch Laptop PC. But the video is not playing. I tried VLC, KM player, GOM player, Windows Media Player,etc. But Nothing is working. I never experienced such problems before. The video was playing very well in the youtube page.
When you type today was a fairy tale on youtube page and search, it's the topmost video present there. I tried HD, 480p, 360p, 240p. But none is playing.
All other videos are working perfectly
I have JAVA, Adobe Flash Player and all other necessary softwares already installed.
I have a video of that which i downloaded from a mobile site,but is of low quality.
I need that video to work. Please Help ASAP
THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE

Hi Deepak,
Try downloading this video through a different browser and in a different format, I'm sure that'll work fine. It's very easy to download a Youtube video through mozilla Firfox. Alternatively, you may also try playing this video on some other computer for isolating the cause of the issue.

I know I have and I tried on that same day. I also downloaded other videos from firefox. The problem is only with that particular video after downloading. Downloading is not an issue. The particular video is just not playing in my pc. I think I should wait for sometime and after some days i will try, as someone suggested here. Maybe youtube is facing some internal technical problem for the video

Maybe youtube or Taylor Swifts people pulled that video for some reason.

If the other videos are playing correctly, I'd assume andhope that it's a problem with the video and not your set up.
I sometimes get the same problem on various sites and just forget about if for a while before trying again, then I often find that it has sorted it's self out after a while.
Try bookmarking the video, exiting the site and doing something else then try it again later.
