Blackberry Phone Error: Could not play media files

Asked By MaryK 830 points N/A Posted on - 06/21/2011

Hi,

I am having this problem with my Blackberry over and over again. I never had this problem before. Videos used to run smoothly on my BB without any issues. But now when I try to play videos on YouTube, Facebook, Tumbler and other websites that contain videos, this error keeps on greeting me.

I really wish this would stop. I haven’t made any changes to my phone or anything. I can’t watch videos. Can someone help me with this? What should I do? I have tried other tutorials on how to fix this on other forums but none seem to work with me.

Thanks.
