Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash. Reset Safari entirely. Went through past threads where people have said this has happened and nothing has fixed it. Videos on two separate iMacs show up as simple a black box. Everything else loads. Plain black box with nothing there. Tried Firefox on a whim that I had left on the other iMac. Videos work fine. Is it a hiccup on YouTubes end? Anyone else having this problem?
 
...Well that was weird. I left open a video. Black, not playing. I decided "Hey I'll report the bug to Apple." As I am filling out the form I decided to go to "More Options" and instantly the video begins to play. I suspect that leaving the video open and presumably running in the background some kind of diagnostics behind the scenes fixed the problem. Either that or the problem got fixed on their end at the exact same time.
