Are you using Ubuntu by chance? It's a common issue on #ubuntu
(freenode) today. Seem disabling adblock has solved the issue for many.


No problems on my Squeeze installs.

Good luck,
George

Weird! I've had the same problem, and the same workaround works for me
(using https instead of http). So, thanks!

But, what makes you associate the problem with google? I have the
problem with youtube URLs, like:

As I mentioned, I'm having the same problem, same workaround works. I'm
using Debian 5.0, KDE 3.5, Iceweasel, and no adblock.

Thanks--I forgot about that!

I thought there could be some other association with google because I
often find youtube videos by searching on google. ;-)

I'll go back to sleep now.

It affects both Chrome and Firefox - but they seem to be able to
play Flash videos on other sites.


Answering my own question again
The key is to make HTTP into HTTPS for some bizarre reason that
only Google knows. HTTP works for some users..for those who just get
the black box, add the 's'...

They sure do...and they make you jump through hoops to report any
issues. Tonight for example their "report a bug" link went to an
error page!


I have no experience with the issue, I was just answering the question why
google was relevant.

Did you mean to reply off-list?




No I didn't .Sorry. Late-night slip of the mouse.

Frank (or anybody),

How in the world did you find out that switching to https would solve
the problem? Did you see a notice somewhere (presumably not from
google), or did you guess based on some clue? If some clue, what was
the clue?

Because their business model is built on an ability to watch YOU, and
they are acutely aware of the dangers of allowing just ANYBODY watch
just anything.

Maybe they are aware of some feature of HTTPS that gives the web site
an asymmetric advantage in watching.

Other ideas?

That URI works for me, both "https://" and "http://" (using Firefox 5 and
lenny). Maybe you are facing some sort of browser cache problem?
