Youtube Video Won't Load

I click play but nothing happens, it just keep on buffering. BUT if i click on the YT-Link that brings me to YT, the video plays instantly.'

Anyone experiencing the same problem? Anyone with the solution?

This sucks... I'm using Google Chrome at the moment btw.

Does this happen in other browsers? How long as Chrome been open? (as my other browsers eventually choke on Flash until I close and reopen).

I think Chrome has been having trouble with youtube vids, which is pretty funny.

Just tried to watch vids using Firefox, same result. It hadn't been open too long, never experienced a problem like this before no matter how long the browser been open.

This has been going on since yesterday. Could all the upgrade action have anything to do with it?

I tried to post a vid today, and it did the same thing when I tried to play it to check it out. I am on explorer.

Happens to me as well, then the page freezes for a bout 3-5 seconds.

Also I can't get the chat room here to work in chrome, as well as some poker sites.

Shouldn't be anything about the upgrade, that would have happened immediately.

Is this happening on all Youtube vids, or just some? And is it on the main site or just the forums?

Every single vid posted at the forums.

The videos in the Multimedia section does work though.

Dido, and I'm using the same OS & IE. However I did have this problem one night about a month ago. Where no vids were playing (just black screen with the lil circle spinning.) I just exited HF.com and came back and it solved the problem.

I've tested it on OS X, XP and 2003 and it's working for me in all browsers (IE, FF, Opera, Safari, Chrome); however - there is a difference between the Youtube code I use in the forums and on the main site. A few weeks ago the Youtube code in the forums was tweaked some, and it's easily probable that we have our cause in there somewhere. Can you watch the embedded video on this page?

You can't open YT video's in Google Chrome on full screen or it will freeze the tab...just a heads up.

I have no problem on HF.com using IE, Firefox or Chrome.

That video did not work, but all the others at the Multimedia Section did..

Edit: Same result when using IE, this is some weird stuff. Even posted some videos of my own to see if that made any difference, but it did not.

So it just buffers forever? Can I ask how long you've waited?
