Solved: Youtube videos not loading!
Whenever I view a video from Youtube (from the site or embedded) I get a "Sorry, this video is no longer available" or something very similar for every single video. Any help?

I'm having the same sort of problem. Some videos will load perfectly fine. But others will either say "We're sorry, this video is no longer available," or just not stop loading when using the different player (for example, the "sonybmg" channel has a different player than that of an average member). Why is it that some videos play and others do not? And is there any way to fix this problem?

That's one one would assume. But there is a very large amount of videos that display this message, spanning many channels. Also, I had a video posted on my own channel. I did nothing to it, yet it displayed that it had been removed. But now, I can play it just fine. There is some other problem rather than almost every video on YouTube being removed.
