So this started a day or 2 ago and I cant quite find the issue. Videos on youtube just wont play. They do the loading circle for buffering but never actually load. Like so:

I've tested this problem on my phone, but my phone's youtube app works fine. Unfortunately I can't test it on my laptop.
I've tried updating my flash player to the newest version, but it has not made any improvements.
The best I can think of is recently I modified some of my video card settings to try to get better performance. I didn't mess with any video options but who knows if I accidently clicked something.

Any ideas? I've asked friends if their youtube vids are loading fine, and they are so I'm not sure what the issue is.

No, I do not have a simple answer.
Possibly you may have altered some settings that mattered.
My I suggest something you can try.
Try making a new user account on your compere.
Rest and log into the new account. It will take a bit to save the settings for the new user. Then go to YouTube and see if that makes a difference.
What happens?

So an interesting note. I decided to try another browser.
Loaded up a video in google chrome and it played no problem.
I created a second user account, but logged onto it immediately and it worked on firefox then too. Will check again in the morning too.
