    Few days ago the problem appears again. On any video.
    I have the last version of SMPlayer 16.1 and SMTube. "update youtube code" didn't help :(

    I can't reproduce the problem.
    Can you send the smplayer log? (Options -> View logs)

      Hi. I'm already re-installed SMplayer and delete config files in Documents and Settings\User\ .smplayer folder. Unfortunately, problem still exist.
      May be problem in empty user_agent string?

      The weird thing that few days ago everything was OK. And I didn't change anything in the system.
      Windows XP SP2

    According to the log it seems if fails to use the openssl libraries. These libraries (libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll) are included in the smplayer installer.

    If those files are installed correctly maybe you need to install the Microsoft Visual Studio Runtime DLLs.

    Previous hint was helpful. The problem was in lack of Visual Studio.


    Last week I've got the problem with most video playback.
    When I try to open this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STVcNX7anGU in SMPlayer, the error pops up. (check screenshot)
    "Update youtube code" didn't help.
    The same video has no problem in browser.

        I don't understand few things: why "update youtube code" don't solve the problem?
        Why most non-musical videos still works fine?

        I can't use newer versions because they don't work on my old PC. SMPlayer 16.6 and 16.7 crashing immediately at start with error: "Application Initialization error (0xc000001e)"
        I suspect that problem in Qt5 (it require SSE2 CPU support)
        You can fix this problem by compiling newer versions with -no-sse2 parameter in Qt5.

        I would be thankful if you try it now and upload as unstable version. And I will test it.

          Some youtube videos, specially music videos, use encrypted signatures which have to be decrypted. The option "update youtube code" downloads the function to decrypt the signature. However this function is created manually by me and it may be outdated because youtube changes the function very often.

          Newer versions of smplayer try to find out that function on its own, and it works pretty well. However sometimes due to changes in the youtube pages, this gets broken and smplayer has to be updated.

          Regarding to your problem with Qt 5, maybe I can try to build a package with Qt 4.
