Youtube error

[55Jay]

Was working fine, clicked to watch next video and got this weird but cleverly worded error screen. Shut down browser and got the same result clicking on YT again.

Downrightnow is account which is useful to follow on Twitter. It send updates, which services are down.

For mobile users, who don't always see the embedded tweets:

"#YouTube is down or having service trouble, based on user reports/other sources downrightnow.com/youtube ~7m"

Not a big deal, just thought that error message was pretty funny.

Here's a snapshot of those Youtube IT monkeys working the issue.

Usually you can bet that an error 500 is nothing wrong on your side.

It's the server.

The news results are overflowing

Don’t panic, but YouTube is down right now

Google’s insanely popular video site went offline just before 7:30AM EDT

And now relax. Seems to be up again.

I hope it didn't take too many victims (heart attacks etc.)

When youtube down the internet must be idling.

About 30% of all download traffic worldwide just for youtube.

YT has been crap for the last week or 2, errors mid video etc...

On refresh same thing again at same point in video,

I think theres some data corruption on their servers myself.

I usually look at movies on YT, most are krap, both content and play back quality.

Stumbled across this website last week with fairly new content and majority have options for 720 and 1080 p.

I get click pop ups at first, which are blocked by my BluHell Firewall extension in FF, but after that, no issues and far better

content than YT.

If you have ad-block, remove it; or you can log in with another profile; disable hardware acceleration and more.

I have suffered the green screen problem last month. Every I change the video to HD, it gave me a green screen. Tried many ways, finally solved by removing the ad-block. so you can have a check on these methods.
