## **Q:** The media could not be loaded…
**A:** This problem can occur when Youtube sends corrupted video data.
Try switching instance. Reloading the page a few times may also help.
**A:** This problem can occur in different scenarios:
_Note:_ If you're trying to listen to music, you will have to go to Youtube.
This type of content is protected by DRM. We currently don't support those.
* If you're trying to watch a music clip, Youtube is likely blocking the
video stream. Try enabling `proxy videos` in the preferences (or add
`&local=1` in the URL). Switching instance is also a good alternative,
as this type of content is often geo-restricted.
* Youtube often sends corrupted video data for the `hd720`, `medium` and
`small` quality settings. Refreshing the page multiple times (5-7) can
fix the problem. You may also set your `preferred video quality` to
`dash` (or add `&quality=dash` to the URL).
* Rarely, it can be due to an internal failure of the instance and the
video stream can't be fetched. A simple page refresh can solve the issue.
If none of the solutions listed above fix that problem, try switching
instances. And if that still doesn't work, you'll have to watch the video
on youtube itself (sorry for the inconvenience).
