Youtube videos not playing on MacBook M1

[Big Stevie]

Since getting my new 2020 MacBook Air M1 a couple of days ago I've been having problems playing some Youtube videos in Safari, whilst others are fine. I get the following message....

Any suggestions please?

I was getting that. It’s Safari. I have Brave Browser installed and that works perfectly ( I’m using Brave more and more, as I’m starting to prefer it to Safari)

Thanks. I may have resolved the issue. I run AdBlock app and I went into its settings and pasted the Youtube url into the 'Manage Allowed Ads' and it seems to be ok now. But if it is a Safari issue then the problem will no doubt return.

What you posted is a YouTube problem that occurs from time to time. I would keep adblocking turned on for YouTube. I use adblocking and haven't had any problems Safari side. I did experience that same YouTube error at times.

Thanks, never experienced it before until I started to use my new 2020 MacBook Air that I purchased the other day.
