Lately, a lot of Youtube videos doesn't work as they should. It says that the video isn't available, but you can hear the video in the background. And you can download as usual. Anyone else experience this?

It's official then, Youtube sucks!

I recently ended up reinstalling OWB due to this issue.
For some reason, even with all correct settings:

- html5 youtube trial NOT enabled
- youtube.js (latest version) added and enabled
- flash plugin enabled
- (for bonus points I also tried spoofing as Safari (actually tried them all) with no luck).
- (for extra bonus points I also deleted all cookies and sub-cookies with "youtube" in the string also with no luck).

Reinstalled, enabled scripts, installed plugin - now all is working fine.

It's possible that some cookie (which doesn't contain 'youtube' in the string) was screwing things up I suppose. I still have the old config backed up for testing in case its needed.

Weird. Can someone else confirm this?

For me youtube videos come back after swf plugin was enabled and exit from html5 test mode.

Hmmm. Having just gone back and tested again, my old archive now works with Youtube again.
It's possible that my last-gasp effort of reinstalling coincided with Youtube un-breaking something.

The difference was night and day though - the old archive showed EZdownload links, but linked to blank content, & the player showed 'you must install flash' message, even though most videos seemed to play behind the message and audio worked.

The reinstalled OWB showed vids perfectly as expected.

Now they both work.

Youtube sucks.

Fab, what about silent automatic update of youtube scripts? ;)
