This is a normal post This may not be the place to ask, but I've been putting up with this for a year, and have exhausted my ability to figure it out...
When I clicked this video, it just started right away. Whenever I try to run a Youtube video, it churns away for a quarter of a minute, then either runs, or ends up with the error message. I'm on a satellite connection. It's fast, so I kind of doubt that's the problem. At least one quarter of all Youtube videos I click on, result in not playing. I have to reload the fucking page, and start all over again.

Thank you, b3ta tech support.

This is a normal post I have found changing the quality setting
usually gets around videos not playing.

Also: are you using the html5 player?
https://www.youtube.com/html5
The flash one seems buggier, but I think is often still the default one.

This is a normal post I did try 5 once. I'll give it another look. Thanks.
I don't know much about internet stuff, but I know that Shockwave crashes a lot. I figured Youtube uses it, since I see the two having problems at the same time. I do have 30 tabs open, but gigs of extra memory.

This is a normal post I gave up with flash, now have an add-on that forces YT videos to use HTML5.

This is a normal post You don't need to use it if you don'thave Flash Player around.
YouTube should now default to HTML5 video.

This is a normal post Very interesting. I have wondered about why when I do a simple refresh of the /links board
It almost always ends up with Youtube video posts mixed up. They even play the content that is mixed up. I always have to refresh from the network on /links.

I might just try another machine. No big deal.

This is a normal post I totally get that too.
Most videos seem not to work, unless I go to the youtube page when they do. Through B3ta though they are generally borked.

This is a normal post I forgot, but was just rudely reminded that errors happen on direct Youtube links. Oh well. I think it's them.
