Author Topic: Having some crippling problems with YouTube  (Read 451 times)

Videos are just suddenly not loading for me, viewing is interrupted at a random point in the video and displays the buffering screen but it never loads any further

Sometimes the video abruptly ends and says it was only as long as the segment it was able to load (a 10 minute video will run for 2 minutes and suddenly go to the end screen with the video time at 2:00/2:00), and occasionally the domain itself won't load at all

I've restarted my computer twice and router three times, used Chrome and Firefox (the latter of which has no add-ons), flushed the DNS cache, cleared my browser cache and cookies, made sure flash player is up-to-date, and disabled my firewall, but nothing has worked

I haven't made any changes to my computer or network today so I don't know what's going on

It may be an error on Youtube's end.  There was one day not too long ago where videos wouldn't load or would stop randomly and cease loading.

All I've been having today is really weird CSS errors with YouTube.
Maybe it's just on the fritz or something. Really no idea why it would be acting that bad for you though.

Clear some youtube cookies.
My brother had issues like this and after he cleared the youtube cookies, it worked again.

But is anyone else having this problem? I would have thought if it was a site problem and not a user problem someone would have mentioned it

unless it's possible it's some weird issue where it's a site problem but it only happens to certain people

cleared my browser cache and cookies

Youtube is always making it hard for me to cripple people.

It was definitely just my router letting me know that it was on its deathbed, it finally went out completely late last night

The replacement is working perfectly
