Youtube refuses to play videos in Safari?

I have ClickToFlash installed and recently I went to YouTube and attempted to view a video but all i got was a very ropey looking 'go upgrade' message instead of the video. If I click on it it takes me to Adobe site to update Flash. I updated but still no videos. I put YouTube on the Whitelist in clicktoflash but i still get the upgrade flash message.

Does anyone else know what may be causing the problem?

Lastest Flash, Click2Flash, Safari and SnowLeopard.
 
Something is wrong with click2flash. I just uninstalled mine was causing problems not with youtube but with all other websites 😕

I'll uninstall it and reinstall see what happens.

Edit: Uninstalled and everything worked. Reinstalled and it broke YouTube. I guess I'll have to suffer with Flash until ClicktoFlash is updated. 🙁

Did you install 1.6b8, then quit and restart Safari? I can't imagine why it wouldn't work, unless you've blocked YouTube in ClicktoFlash prefs. I assume you're on Safari 4.0.5. Do you have this checked?

Another option for youtube videos is to login to youtube (its free to register) then "opt in" for HTML5. The videos will play much smoother and won't run the CPU as hard.
