Can you give us some more info on how they don't load and what your internet speed is?

And have you tried turning your router+PC off and on

I've done both but the problem still persists. I don't see what is different about them.

 

The top two just keep showing the loading animation but won't play.

Have you erased the cookies and cache?

ANd tried a different browser, just to be sure

You probably need Flash Player in FF, because Chrome has Flash embedded in it.

Can you turn on YouTube html5 player?

EDIT: Same issue with firefox.

Also disabling all plugins doesn't help.

Apparently when you just let the video sit there for a while it does load for me but only after a whole time of basically doing nothing.

I have the exact same problem. Does anyone have a solution?

I happens on all my browsers, when I right-clic and select the stats it shows the video as resolution a 0x0@60 or 30 fps (depending on the video itself) and it happens even on my cellphone.

I have 200mbps internet and a dual band router, and it happens on both the 2.4 and the 5 GHz.

When my internet is lacking it happens to me. I have my WiFi cable in my living room and I am in a room where the WiFi is bad..

Here's what I found. It had to do with the modem provided by my ISP. The problem was solved when I reset it and all of the videos that I couldn't watch I was able to watch after resetting it.
