some youtube videos won't start after new update

Post by grayson jones »

After the latest update ,I found that some videos on youtube would not start. I tried many things with no results. I found that the older videos seemed to do ok. I tried disabling all the extenions but this did not help. I have just found that if open the non-starting videos in a private window they work OK but the ad blocker is not working . Does anyone have a fix for this ? Thanks for any help.

I haven't come across this myself but do you have a link to one of these videos that doesn't work? I'm using uBlock Origin with more or less default settings that doesn't affect it.

Thanks Mark for the reply. This morning I clicked on several fresh videos and they all started. I'll see what happens in the next day or two.
If the problem comes back, I'll be back. Thanks

Both started and played OK for me using the lastest Nightly build, and I'm on Win11 and using uBO (microBlockOrigin)
