YOUTUBE HELP

[TBABY]

So, when I'm on youtube and I click a link to watch a video, I get to the page but the video is just black. The player doesn't come up, it's just black.... When I click on whoevers videos profile it's on, it will play on the profile. Does anybody know how I can fix this?

Thanks

Is it just now or has it been happening all day/longer? My friend just told me they're updating some stuff on youtube.

It's been like this from last night until now. I'm not sure what's going on. It might of even been this morning it started happening, haha.

try a different browser first, if it's the same then look into updating java/flash all dat sheeet.

Thanks, internet explorer is working but firefox isn't.

see if there's a new FF out and get it if there is. If not, i have no idea as i use chrome 95 percent of the time.

I just downloaded the new firefox and it still isn't working. I'm about to go back to using google chrome.

what has been working for me is that i increase the video quality and then the video starts playing. for some reason the orignal 360p just isn't working.

whatever it is its not a browser problem so never stray from google chrome

Google Chrome

Well, I couldn't even change the video quality because the player wasn't even coming up. But I had firefox, last night I downloaded google chrome and I am using that now. I like it so much better.

oh man you don't even know.

Go to preferences and click

"Enable Instant for faster searching and browsing"

google then will start going to sites before you even finish typing. its mind blowing.
