YouTube is giving me an error sign and I can't watch anything. I do have a bookmark
on some stuff I enjoy but that isn't the point. The error is 500 with a note from YT. Anyone know what is going on? Many thanks in advance, you guys always solve my little problems..LOL..

OP
500 is a general internal server error. Do it happen on any youtube video you try to view?

me either...

(26,366 posts)3. Are you using Adobe flash to view the youtube videos?
If so and you aren't using the latest version, install it:

I went to this link and agreed to use the HTML5 player. It seems to have cleared up my excessive buffering problem on YT. The process is reversible by just going back to the link and selecting to use the Default player.
