Nope

I can watch embedded Youtube videos from Facebook but every time I try to watch a video from Youtube.com all I get are black boxes.

Might just be facebook, btw why is this in the EOF? Should this not be in the off topic?

You're using Chrome, right?
It happens sometimes when I use Chrome.

Right click > Stop Download. Click wherever you want it to resume and it's fixed.

Wait, ALL you get are black boxes? If so, I don't know if this will work since I doubt it's the same problem.

Are you on some flavor of Linux?

Adobe has awful (but at least existent) Linux support.

I'm having the same problem - I could view videos earlier today, but a little while ago, I started getting blank black boxes :/

I've had no problems other than slow loading times.

Hey everyone. I'm using Chrome. I also tried Firefox and I get the same problem. I even went to the extreme of uninstalling Flash and Chrome and re-installing the programs and I get the same issue. I called my ISP and the person over the phone tried to push me onto the customer support for my router (since the issue is only happening with my wifi/traditional computing devices). I just dont know. Everything was working fine yesterday and suddenly today I just get black boxes. It's weird. I can use YouTube XL from the computers so I guess I'm stuck with that for a while...

Do you have anything like ad-block?
I mean i tried on Linux Fedora and Ubuntu as well on Windows 7 using both Firefox and Chrome and no problems with youtube on any of them.
I haven't tested on facebook since I don't use it.
As I said, does it only happen with Facebook? It could just be a facebook problem.
