    If reloading doesn't cut it then the most likely reason is that Youtube doesn't offer the specific video as HTML5 video. This is mostly the case with videos that are supposed to show a commercial at the beginning or in the middle, which is something Youtube restricts to Flash video (probably for technical reasons). So instead of showing the video without commercial in HTML5 mode, Youtube doesn't allow showing it in HTML5 mode at all ...except when you do a little trick:
