last year I could watch youtube video on my phone, this year I can't.  I have the same phone.  Its a Motorola Electrify with Android 2.3.5

I haven't changed anything (that I know) yet now youtube and WIMP video's won't play they just give me a message "Cannot play video"  below that it says "Sorry, this video cannot be played."  my only option is OK.  No other information is given.

I have Adobe Flash on the phone and flash sites work.  I know that a lot of video is JAVA but I've no idea how to put that on the phone or even if I should.

Is there something that will play youtube stuff,  I tried downloading VLC but it's not the same VLC on my computer.  Plus I don't know if that would make any difference.

I like computers a lot more than "smart" phones.
