I noticed that Youtube is getting a bit buggy lately. I get a lot of 'Sorry, this video is no longer available' when I try to replay a vid that I was watching a minute ago. Even worse, now I can watch the videos with that message! Look at the screenshot.

i like your drawings, sometimes its buggy bou on sites that have the video embeded you can see them but not he original.

RM - I actually had that problem before, but it was a flash issue. Reinstalling flash seemed to fix it.

I've had that randomly, not on embedded vids though because I dislike watching that way. Refreshing the (youtube video) page has helped.

On a forum I saw a problem where some guy had that text on a video that worked for everyone else. That was weird because the video didn't work for that guy even if he tried it couple of hours later.

yup, definitely happening much more often lately

That message is displayed every time when you can't get a connection to the server... Refreshing always helped me watching those videos then...

I hate how horrible the sound quality is on youtube. It's only 22050Hz sample rate. So it can't reproduce sounds with a frequency greater then 11025Hz. Unless it is high quality &fmt=18.

Stupid that the "high quality" link is actually fmt=6 instead of fmt=18.

Difference between fmt=6 and fmt=18 from wikipedia: "YouTube's high quality videos are available in two versions, both of which have a maximum picture size of 480 x 360 pixels. By adding &fmt=6 to the web address of a video, it is played using the H.263 codec with mono sound, and by adding &fmt=18, it is played using the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec with stereo AAC sound."

There seems to be problem with some very few videos with fmt=18. Video is very jerky with with fmt=18 when with "high quality" or fmt=6 it's smooth. So I guess fmt=6 and "high quality" is same thing.
