I'm having the same problem over in Firefox as of a few days ago. Certain videos play normally, others give the exact same black screen you are having.

Weird - I was getting that with Safari (WebKit), but not with Camino (Gecko).

Just had a try with Opera, Chrome, Safari and Firefox (all Mac) on that baguette video and it's working OK for me. Anyone else having this issue?

I'm also having this issue in Firefox 12, but not in Chrome.
Interestingly the player in Firefox looks different to the Chrome one. In Firefox it is a dark grey bar and black play button, while in Chrome it is a light grey bar and red play button.

For me, I sometimes had slow/stall buffering problem. I change the quality to 240 and it is fast and working. I am pretty sure it is YouTube's side.

me thinks their tubes is clogged.

Is it happening just on our site - or with the YouTube site as well?

Just here in my case, and it's not every youtube embed. I couldn't find the commonality in the embeds that didn't work, though.

OTOH, I can't get any Vimeo embed to play locally with Camino - I always have to click over to the host.

I seem to have fixed my problem in Firefox by leaving the Youtube HTML5 trial.

Just on VS.

I had the problem. Remove your youtube.com cookies and it seems to fix the embeds. Worked for me at least. I was having the problems only on embeds and only about half of those......some would work some wouldnt. No idea why. Clearing cookies worked.

Did clearing cookies work for anyone else? Just wondering if it's universally working or if maybe I didn't find a permanent solution. So far I've only had one video not play, but it wouldn't play directly on youtube either.

Well as I said above I turned off HTML5 which seemed to work. Perhaps that reset my cookies on youtube.

Eeeeyup, clearing out the cookies did the trick for me, thank you muchly @Porksandwich!

I'm having this problem with embeds from youtube on every site I visit. Not all of the embeds, but 60% are not working. I have to go to the youtube page. Which requires SECONDS! How am I supposed to cope with that? Diablo III ? Oh well...

No seriously, it's a problem.

Vimeo embeds are not working for me on the sift. Haven't for a while. I've been clicking over to their site to watch.
