I've been having a problem over the past week or so where SOME youtube videos won't play. I've never had any problem before with youtube. I'd guess maybe half of the videos I've tried to watch lately won't load.

I'll get one of these two screens:

The status bar at the bottom of Safari says:

The same thing happens on my wife's MacBook, which makes me think it may be a problem with my ISP (Charter Cable). Anybody goes any ideas? I've tried reloading the pages and clearing the internet cache. Same thing happens in Safari or Firefox. Here's two videos that I'm having the problem with:

Well those two videos started working for some (unknown) reason. I can't think of anything I changed to fix it. So if anyone else has a similar problem... I wish I knew what to tell you. Wait a while is the only advice I have.

I had a problem with youtube videos freezing up on me. A complete delete and fresh install of Flash solved that problem. Try that and see if it works.

Sorry, it's the best I can do:eek:

Hey Calboy

Deleting all the flash files and reinstalling flash player fixed the problem for me. Thank you very much
