[#2553217]

Sometime in the last week or two my pc has stopped working on youtube.
I can watch videos if they're embedded in another web page, such as the Midweek Mini Movies but if I try to watch anything directly from a youtube page I just get a white blank where the picture should be. The sound comes through OK though.

Does anyone know what's happening there?

I'm sure I saw a youTube video on how to get this working.

In the meantime, try installing another browser. If it works then it's a browser or plugin issue.

Do you run any adblock software? YouTube often block vids from playing.

It's just the same in Chrome and I'm not running any ad blockers that I know of.

The video screen flashes up for a split second then disappears to leave a white space with the sound playing.
