Re: Not able to play a video? What's your error message?

FatesSky

Anna,

I can't get anything embedded from YouTube to load on any site I
usually link from, and I am not receiving any error messages from
YouTube at all.  They simply do not load.

The files all are still marked as available for embedding on the main
YouTube site.
They have nothing in common other than being from YouTube.
They were running perfectly earlier, and then just stopped.

You Tube is the ONLY site that offers embedded videos which are
refusing to run, so I feel the issue has to be on You Tube's end.
