YouTube issues 27/01/2025

Is anyone else having the same problem with YouTube ?

Every video gets this error, when I refresh the page it plays fine.



I'm on Afrihost fibre use Chrome. My TV doesn't seem to have the same issue... so then is this a chrome thing ?

Nope. Probably a chrome plugin or DNS issue \

 

[Nerfherder]

Been a few days now actually.

 

[Lupus]

No issues on my end

On Firefox ... no issues as yet

just saw this, I WFH but its probably a filter of sorts... FFS

 

[Nerfherder]

Yep, getting this too, although I should be working, not looking at YouTube. Vivaldi (Chromium) browser.

And how did you perfect your time machine?

I play background music on YouTube to help me focus... but its often to my detriment.

just scrolled through youtube sharts and getting the content unavailable message when adblock is on (not all videos get the error but most of them), when i pause adblock and refresh then it plays all of them.

Also running ad block.

Makes sense that it could be that but a bit concerning. I pay for ad free youtube, are they making it unusable with adblock enabled ?

EDIT:
So adblock has never actually blocked anything on the site though...
