Common Problems
Interface
- Clicking "more" didn't return related videos.
The "more" link may appear when watching some videos due to certain patterns in the title that indicate multipart videos; or any words in the pull-down menu of subjects. One pattern to watch out for that gives false "more" links is "whitespace followed by a number".
- Can't click the menu for MORE, WATCH, CLONE, etc.
You might need to open and close the index with the "Index" link in the upper left corner before using that menu. Why.
Video
- Video player is blank, won't play, or doesn't load at all.
Assuming you have Flash installed; are not blocking the embed with something like AdBlock; et cetera; this usually means the video was deleted. Sometimes the video sites send a blank screen instead of the usual message. Click "visit" to find more details or ReSearch to find different versions of the same video. Google gives false errors sometimes so try clicking the video's title to reload it once, otherwise it's probably gone.
- Video pauses a lot.
If the video is large or your connection is slow it might pause a lot or stop. Try using pause on the player to allow more or all of a video to load first, or download with "get" and watch it later. Sometimes reloading the video solves the problem.
- Video reloads forever.
Please upgrade the defective version of Internet Explorer installed on your computer or try a better browser like Firefox.
- Are Google and YouTube the same?
No not really. Google bought YouTube since deoxy.video got started but the websites are still basically separate. Eventually we'll support more video sites.
