Choose to 'clear the following items from the beginning' and make sure that 'cached images and files' and 'cookies and other site data' options are checked. Restart your browser in the end. Now you should be able to play the video that gave you the warning \"Error loading player: No playable sources found\" previously.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"part3\" class=\"wp-part pl20\"><strong>Part 3: How to watch and download online video without Adobe flash player<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The problem happens when you are streaming an online video, and it's based on the Adobe flash player. If none of the solutions introduced above would work to fix the problem, or the issue happens very frequently, or you are in a hurry to play the video before you can fix the problem, maybe it's time for you to try something else. <\/p>\n<p>When you are playing an online video, the web browser is not the only option.
