Looks like YouTube is not providing content in either h264 or webm for that video. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q4iKJIiYRek breaks for me on any Firefox or Chromium without Flash.

Hi midlovines

We need more troubleshooting details to help you:

  1. What Android phone or tablet are you using? What version of Android OS (4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, 4.1-3 jelly bean, 4.4 kitkat or 5.0 lollipop etc)
  2. Please provide the URL of the "bird nest cam on Cornell website"

Cheers!

...Roland

This url loads the video in the HTML5 player for me on kitkat 4.4.2 on Galaxy Note 4.

After looking at troubleshooting information however the error message you mentioned showed up.

In the meantime it is possible to double tap and open the video in youtube.
