I have a strange problem with youtube videoes this morning.

Every video I try to watch displayes the message "an error occured - please try again later".

I have tried on windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Xp.. with firefox, chrome and IE7 , 8 and 9.. (I´m at work so have lots of pc´s to try it on)

I get the same message all the time.. I have updated adobe flash on all pc´s to see if that is the problem, but nope still get the same error..

could it be a local problem (living in the Faroe Islands)..? or what..?

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

But seriously, if it's not just affecting one computer in location it's not something GAF can fix

[Hanmik]

it might be some problem with the latest flash update..

it works on my phone..

Happened to me on my Mac a little bit ago... Got an error and some pop up that said there was an adobe security risk... And it blocked all flash type sites. I went to adobes website and updated my flash and it was all fixed

Maybe its the power trying to come back on.

I have updated adobe flash on all my pc´s.. does not work.. I used the flash uninstaller and upgraded to the latest flash player.. still did not work..

that's usually an internet problem. did you reset your modem/router?

i think it could be a firewall problem..

no it´s not that... it looks like several people and companies are having the same problems as me..

strange,,., very strange..

[Salvadora]

This has happened to me a few times as well.

[Hanmik]

the problem is actually really funny...

here is what it looks like if I try to watch a video



(the text is in danish... it says "error occured - please try again later"...)

I cannot watch the video, but I can see a preview if I hover the mouse over the timeline..

but if I click on the uploaders Channel..



I can watch the first video fine without any problems...

youtube is fucked for me today..

I know they have been having really bad issues when trying to upload videos this week. Not sure if its all connected but it certainly seems to be a system wide issue to a point.

[Darklord]

Clear the cache. That fixes 90% of problems for websites for me.

Edit: Oh, it happens on other PC's too? Hmm, it might be YT then. It's been slow as HELL for the past few days for me.

Someone really wanted to watch Youtube videos this morning. I would have moved on to something else after about 3 minutes of trying. This is real dedication.

I get that problem with YouTube videos if I leave the tab open for a few hours. When I go back to it and hit play it plays for a few seconds then I get that error. I assume it just hasn't buffered and it isn't telling YouTube to start buffering again, but refreshing the page works for me.

but if I click on the uploaders Channel.. I can watch the first video fine without any problems... youtube is fucked for me today..

Do you have an AdBlock plug-in running? That could be interfering.

nope...

and it is not just me.. we are talking about lots off people in the same country..
