Computer stopped playing youtube videos.

Hi.

Just in the last hour, youtube videos no longer play on my computer.

Either yesterday or the day before, it was fine - I watched one or two with no problem.

If I click on play, they play for about a second or two, then freeze for a split second, then goes to a black/static screen with the message saying "An error occurred, please try again later. Learn more."

I have checked that I have the latest version of flash, and I do.

I have refreshed firefox, but that didn't work.

I've disabled and uninstalled adblock plus, but that doesn't make a difference.

Funnily enough, the youtube video embedded here plays fine if I watch it on that page, but if I go to the youtube site to watch it, it freezes and crashes.

Any suggestions?

Happened to me not do long ago. I was advised on here to go into YouTube settings and set HTML5 player as default. All well now for me.

That seems to have sorted it.
