Youtube video loading problem?

[467]

Every time I click on a video it says error, and then when I refresh the page it stays black and does not play. I have restarted my computer and updated everything. Its still not working.

I made a tumblr account a few days ago and added the code to the html that allows a "pin it" button to hover over all of my posts, so that my followers can pin my photos to their pinterest account.
This "pin it" button has been showing up on the youtube videos and I have no idea why, since youtube and tumblr are different sites.

Could you help me? I think the problem is the pin it button hovering over the youtube videos when my mouse goes over it ,but I don't know how to get rid of it! I've tried taking it out on tumblr but it stays on youtube. Any advice? What should I do?

I've made no such account but I have similar problems. I also have restarted and even shut down my computer. Yet, it still does what you describe.

I am getting that error with firefox. But youtube is loading videos for me on explorer with no problem.

'' An ERROR OCCURRED. Please try again later"  means there is/was a momentary
lapse between your computer and YouTube.  Either your internet connection was not
strong and had a small hiccup --- or your computer's Cache / Memory / PageFiling is
overwhelmed, and thus cannot take anymore.  Same if you've got conflicting Cookies.

For the 1st case, simply turn-off your modem + router for about 30 seconds and then
turn them back on again. (Note: It does not really matter which order you do them in).
For the 2nd case, simply clear your "Cache" + "Cookies" + "(Browser) History", then
shutdown and reboot.  Your YouTube should then be fine.

Mozilla Firefox:

Don't forget to completely shutdown & reboot afterwards.

Other possibilities + solutions:
-- Right-click any video, click "Settings'' and uncheck "Enable Hardware Acceleration".
-- Disable any Adblock add-on, play a video; then re-enable the Adblock the next day.
-- There could be a Player conflict -- (like with Real Player, Pepperflash or Shumway).
   If that's the case, disable/uninstall it, and when you need it back, simply reinstall it.
-- Disable your anti-virus program, since you can not get a virus from YouTube videos.
-- You may unknowingly be using "HTML5'' instead of "Flash''.  To be sure, click here:
