    Re: youtube not playing videos

    it's a recent problem with me. it happens on the same videos i try every single time.

    i've sent the links to those videos to friends who have no problem viewing them, i've even gone far as updating flash player to see if it would help and it didn't lol.

    I've been getting that problem too, but only with specific videos. It's hit and miss as to which ones work and which don't.

    If you pay attention..

    When a video is uploaded it ends up at one specific youtube server, and they have thousands. If that one specific server is having troubles you will not be able to view that video.. but you'll be able to view all the others.
