YOUTUBE HELP

[Dholaholic]

Hey Guys im having trouble viewing views on my computer right now for sum reason. Everytime i go to youtube to watch a video, i get a black screen where the video would be and a msg on the screen that says An error occurred , please try again later. This has been happening all day. Im thinking maybe some setting got reset in my browser or sumthing. Any help?

Try:

-Updating your flash player.
-A different browser. If that works, then its clearly Firefox.
-Disable all ad/javascript blockers/any extensions. Update.

Something like this was happening to me also, try going to tools and hit clear recent history but check everything. If clearing cookies/cache didn't help idk if this will but why not try lol

^^ This is key. Sometimes this "black screen" is caused by AdBlock preventing youtube from loading the video. Try to disable that extension if you have it installed.

Hope that helps,

Tried that a few times still not luck. Also disabled NoScript and no luck. Its working in IE so its clearly sumthing in firefox.

Try reinstalling firefox? Maybe you're missing an update or something

Have you updated to the latest flash player? And see if you might have to update Firefox as well. There might be some flash (plugin) issue. Do other video hosting sites work?
