Solution 2: Clear browser cache<\/strong><\/p>\n

  2. Then click More Tools<\/strong> > Clear browsing data<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Choose \u2018Clear the following items from the beginning of time\u2019 and verify that \u2018Cached image and files\u2019 and \u2018Cookies and other site data\u2019 are checked.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now, all your cache and browsing data will be cleared. And this should help you fix the error. If not, proceed to the next step.<\/p>\n

    Solution 3: Add exceptions in settings<\/strong><\/p>\n

    You may also receive the above error if the security setting in Adobe Flash is stopping you from playing the video. This can be resolved by adding exceptions to the file you are trying to play. Although this is a temporary workaround, it can help when you have limited time.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open Chrome and click on the Menu <\/strong>icon<\/li>\n
    2. Click Settings <\/strong>> Advanced Settings<\/strong><\/li>\n

      This should help you resolve the error \u2018Error loading player: No playable sources found\u2019. If not, proceed to the next step.<\/p>\n

      Solution 4: Use Safe Mode<\/strong><\/p>\n

      It is possible that you are receiving the error due to recent changes like recently installed third party apps or browser extensions. In order to find out if this is actually the reason, you can use Safe Mode with networking option.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. To enter this setup, click Windows + R<\/strong> keys to open Run<\/strong><\/li>\n
      2. Then type \u2018msconfig\u2019<\/strong> and hit Ok<\/li>\n
      3. Under the Boot tab, <\/strong>select Safe Boot<\/strong> and check the box \u2018Network\u2019<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Click Ok<\/strong> for your system to start in Safe Mode with networking enabled. If you are able to play videos in Safe Mode (with networking) successfully, try it again in normal mode. If it plays fine, then Safe Mode has fixed the issue for you.<\/p>\n

        If you still have problems playing the file, then it indicates problems with login items or browser extensions, which you will need to further analyze.<\/p>\n
