Why does YouTube randomly not play certain videos?

For the past week or so some videos on YouTube, just won’t load for me. It’s not my connection or anything though because the page loads, but the video won’t. Like the little play button and stuff won’t even pop up, it’s just the page and a completely black rectangle where the video should be. It only happens on some videos though, why? And how can I fix it?

Answer #1

That problem is not related to youtube but to the flash player plugin that your browser uses…. Firefox is the main villain, the latest flash update lags and some videos will not load until you refresh the page several times….. try updating the Flash plugin and the browser…. or use a different one entirely

Answer #2

I use Safari, my flash thing is updated.

Answer #3

oh…safari….switch to another browser i suppose….

Answer #4

Sometimes depends on the flash player… Sometimes depends on the region…

Answer #5

This problem normally occurs when internet connection is slowing down. Restart you Router in such condition. Also optimize your browsers by clearing history and removing temporary internet files.

Also remove third party tool-bars and extensions.

Update the drivers that control your PC. Search for missing or outdated drivers online by using some tool.
