    I have no idea why that is. My internet connection is fine as far as I know. I re-installed Flash. I bet there's some fix but idk what it is. Really weird. Youtube has been loading well for me but all of the sudden it's getting stuck from time to time.

    YouTube doesn't use flash anymore primarily; it's only used as a fallback.

    I'll laugh if you got an outdated browser; using the latest version of Chrome/Firefox/Edge?

    I guess I'll try to remove Chrome and install it again. Latest version afaik but it's worth a try.

    Mine did that on my phone last week. It kept going to an error and no videos would load. I restarted my phone, redownloaded the app, nothing was working and then it just fixed itself.

    Chrome should NOT be using Flash for YouTube. It should be using HTML5 by default.

    Sorry to bother you mates, but I also have a weird YouTube playback problem and I do not know whether it is a bug. Since this is a related thread about YouTube error, i post it my question here and want a feasible answer from you guys. When I tried playing a YouTube video in VLC on Windows 7, " VLC is unable to open the MRL" popped up on my screen. The YouTube video was uploaded by me from my PS4 recordings days ago. In this article, as you can see "http://www.videoconverterfactory.com/tips/vlc-unable-mrl.html", it mentions I must convert the video codec and formats for a better compatibility and only in this way can the YouTube video be played again. But i do not literally want to use a third-party software or change any video parameters or launch a video format conversion since I know to convert video formats always more or less causes video output quality loss or frame rate drop. My video output is 720p and 30fps(I did not test it but I think it is smooth enough) which I think is quite good. So, I want to ask you is video conversion the only way to solve the YouTube MRL issue? Are there any other alternative ways to handle this problem??
