Hey all. Run into a hiccup recently that I'm finding rather infuriating.
As of about a week ago, seemingly at random, videos on Youtube will simply stop loading, usually somewhere around the 2-minute mark of playback. It stops spooling and then sits forever on the loading spinny thing.
Firefox and Flash Player are fully updated, I haven't changed any addon settings, nor has my ISP done anything different, and nothing on the Youtube pages themselves is blocked by AdBlock or NoScript. FF purges its own temp files on every close. I've manually dumped my cache and cookies multiple times. Reloading the video doesn't help (even control-refreshing), closing Firefox doesn't help, and there are some videos that I first noticed this on that -still- won't play a week later - and I shut my PC down completely on a nightly basis.
What really kills me is that there is no rhyme or reason to what videos glitch out - three minutes long or thirty, any number of channels or posters, even within the same playlist (one video refuses to play, the previous and next do just fine). Youtube and Google's own help is completely useless on this - anyone at all have a clue?
