Is anyone else having trouble with youtube currently?

It's not just you! I'm also having issues and i'm from canada! Can I suggest using VLC player to play the videos instead, just to see if they will still work? That's what I tend to use when they won't play from the web browser. If it still doesn't work, then it turns out google has screwed EVERYBODY over. I have linked to vlc player below. It's better than any other media player to date and it works on mac, linux (it even works in the command line!) and windows too.

PS. As an alternative to google-owned youtube, there's dailymotion, vimeo, blip.tv, metacafe amongst many more, to watch videos. Break.com is another site too.
