Youtube plays at the office but doesn't play at home!

[hiramnaman]

I have a MacBook Pro OSX 10.6.8, latest Flash player.

When I'm at the office YouTube works perfectly, when I'm at home I get the message: "An error occurred. Please try again later"

I am using a Thomson Modem wifi with a broadband connection.

Could it be the home network or the modem set up? This happened suddenly.
Vimeo, Metacafe, Yahoo video, Dailymotion and other video sites play normally.

Thanks for any help.

Wow, this is an interesting problem.

Perhaps you have a home firewall you're not aware of?

Doesn't fix your problem, but you could try opting in for HTML5 video. http://www.youtube.com/html5

Here are some things I Googled related to the error message:

If you experience this error at a lot or all videos then the problem is on your machine. The reason can be advertisement blockers and bad coded Firefox plugins but mostlikely the Adobe Flash Player is broken.

Uninstall and reinstall Flash player

Anyway, I decided to review my Firefox settings and plug-ins and remove those I didn't need and disable those that I thought could be culprits... one was Adblock Plus.

Thanks for the YouTube HTML5 link..it'll be the only thing I use until it;s either dropped or made permanent.
