Sites like this may not respond to your actions for a variety of reasons. One of which, and perhaps the most common, is a poor-quality Internet connection. Or a banal overload of video hosting due to a large number of users or DDOS attacks. Rutub does not work either if you have AdBlock ad blocker or similar applications installed.
Problems with Flash Player
This problem occurs for novice users. Imagine that “Rutube” video hosting is an integral mechanism of a tower clock, and to start it, you need a person who would start it. So, Flash Player is such a watchmaker. It allows you to turn on the video and watch it in good quality.
You can download it on the Internet or on the official Adobe website. It also happens that you have a "Flash player", but not the current version. In this case, you are usually offered to update directly in the application. Or go to Rutub and try to watch the video, a notification will pop up in front of you that your Flash player is out of date and needs to be updated.
Anyway, "Rutub" does not work, what should I do?
This means that there are problems with ad blockers. Most likely, you have installed an extension in the browser like AdMuncher, AdBlock and the like utilities. The fact is that video hosting works thanks to advertising injections into it. It is she who provides the employees of Rutub and the operation of their servers.
And without looking at the ads, you are depriving them of hard-earned money, and they will no longer have anything to maintain their site on. With this money, they are doing their best to improve the site’s system and, as it’s popular now, can release a mobile phone application.
Disabling ad blockers
In order to use the site, you need to add it to the exclusions of your ad blocker. Consider the example of AdBlock, in other cases, the procedure will be similar:
- Hover over the Adblock icon with the mouse cursor. In most browsers, it is located to the right of the address bar.
- In the menu that opens, select the line "Parameters" and click on it.
- In the window, find "Show ads on a web page or domain."
- Enter the address of the site http://rutube.ru.
- Confirm the action by clicking on "OK!".
- Refresh the page using the F5 key.
These actions do not affect ad blocking on other sites. It will also be blocked on non-Rutube related resources.
No ad blocker, but Rutub does not work
First, check if you have completed the 6th point. If so, try closing and reopening your browser. Rebooting a computer can help, usually it always helps. Recheck the novelty of your version of Flash Player.
If all of the above methods did not help, then be sure to write to technical support about your problem. To do this, go to the Rutuba website, open any video and a gear button will appear in front of you. Right-click on it and select "Send error message."
In the window that opens, click on the reason "A message is displayed about the ad blocker, but it is not installed on my device." If for some reason you are unable to send a complaint in this way, you can write directly to technical support.
Other problems
The site may not work not only because of the above reasons. Technical work can be carried out on it, during which it turns off and you can not watch interesting videos. "Rutub" does not work, more precisely, some videos may not work in certain countries.
For example, the popular TV series Fizruk can only be watched by residents of Russia. In surrounding countries, you will be presented with a window that says "View in your country is limited" or the like. You can get around this limitation using a proxy, Tor browser, or site mirror.
