    Any time I go to watch a video the rest of the page loads up as normal but the space where the video should be playing is just completely blank. I've only noticed it about ten minutes ago.

    Its the f00king ads before the video, on top of the video*, beside the video and at the bottom of the page.

    Install adblock FFS! :rolleyes:

    But no. I've no problem as I'm one of those nerdy pr!cks that use Greasemonkey (don't) with the Youtube Enhancer script. Or you can install the script directly in to chrome. (Userscripts.org). SNORT!

    same problem here in the last few days...on a mac using safari if that makes any difference. Suddenly just stopped playing videos! Funnily enough, they will play ok in firefox for me, so maybe try a different browser and see does that help matters. Would still like to find a fix though!

    What I've noticed lately on youtube is when you resize the screen it will buffer again from the start. Bit annoying when you are so much into a video and decide to go fullscreen, especially on a slow connection

    ...or when you use a dongle and have a measly 7.5 gbs a month...such a waste.
