Paul, Did you install the special codecs needed to play videos? They used to be called "restricted formats" but if you are having a problem playing videos or songs etc it can be attributed to lack of codecs; and you can download and try using VLC player.

I even tried to play a couple songs on my laptop which is 32 bit Mint17 Maya last evening and I had to specifically 'enable html5 player' or I get the 'An error occured please try again later' message. I attached a screenshot of the error message. So basically now for me I have to specifically enable the 'HTML5' player via this link n songs play fine - in the browser then. --> https://www.youtube.com/html5 > > Well it's probably not kernel related then your knowledge is respected.
