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.

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.

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

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