Youtube not working

[thestaggy]

I think I originally posted this in the wrong section;


Hi folks. Just wanted to know if anybody has encountered any problems with Youtube? The problem seems to be that I can't watch any of the videos, which is obviously a big problem on a site devoted to videos. . . I never had to buffer a Youtube vid before such was the efficiency of my connection, but now I can't even watch a video. If I visit a sport website that has it's own media library, I can smoothy watch their videos, but Youtube just won't play. If I try and view a Youtube video attached to another site, it won't play either.

Any ideas?

Hmm seems like a lot of people having issues at the moment. I wonder if there isn't an issue with the google routing again or even there local caching servers?

There are issues with Adobe Flash and win 7 64 bit. There are also issues with Flash and hardware acceleration. Disable hardware acceleration, download Flash 32 bit (there is a version for specifically for Internet explorer on the flash website) and it should work fine.

It isn't working for me either...
