Problem with youtube videos and/or my internet browser.?

Question

When I click on a youtube video, the video display area is just a black screen with the spinning loading circle. The video has no red loading bar, it shows no loading progress. The video will stay like this for a few minutes depending on what video you are watching. Then it suddenly starts playing and the red bar is either full or 50% loaded. I have the latest version of flash player and this is only a new problem. I have never had any problems like this before. Can anyone help me please?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Try refreshing the webpage

or...

Turn off web accelerator, if you have one - it may be conflicting with youtube.

or..

It could be due to slow connection or high traffic.

Try watching it during off peak hours, the video will be smoother.

Or you could watch it offline smoothly... try using 'zillatube' .

It works well - Just  google search "zillatube" to get it.

Answer 2

I'm having a problem right now. ALL videos have no sound and the playback freezes after just a couple seconds. I can only hope that it's on Youtube's end and not yours or mines.
