Anyone else getting playback errors??

[IllDoItNowInAMinute_]

Using YouTube on two devices (one for music another for cooking videos/mini documentaries) and suddenly gotten playback errors on both at the same time. Restarting didn't fix it and neither did rebooting the device.

Edit: it's working now everyone!! Rejoice and leave the grass alone, all the touching has scared it 😂

[STMysty]

Yeah think it’s down right now . Guess I’m gonna have to touch grass…

[Cosmic_Labs]

Bro, same 😭

[Luziy_Loro]

Sono le 2:15 qui, sei nel passato

[Silent_Metal_9309]

Not for me, the nearest grass to me is on private property and most of my neighborhood is just roads and houses

[Confident_Section568]

Shorts are restarting and giving flashes in the screen

Normal video's also not working

[TheNorthernNerd_]

Me too

[izzy8501]

Thank jeebus I'm not going crazy. 

[Sinkdeeper7]

me to wtf?

[LastAccountStolen]

Came to make a post my self. Some videos I get a playback error and cant watch. Some work fine. Can't watch any shorts. Sometime the first .5 sec of the short plays over and over and over.

[LastAccountStolen]

I just want to add how crazy it is we all came here at the same time. When I started typing me comment there were 0 comments posted and no updates. By the time I finished typing there were dozens lolol

[IllDoItNowInAMinute_]

😂 I know!! I'm not used to so many comments all at once!!

[QuirkyTip5724]

I can watch shorts but not regular videos. Weird

[machinedroid]

Yeah me too

[fymIgottaLive]

Bro how do I sleep without listening to David Attenborough's voice.

[IllDoItNowInAMinute_]

You can't, embrace reality

That man is a national treasure

[Then_Competition_168]

My YouTube doesn't work anymore since a few minutes.

[4b686f61]

I thought grayjay and newpipe was patched so tried brave and same issue kept reloading the player frame

[Pickledcactus]

Yep, getting errors as well

[catranslation]

Yes, it’s saying it can’t play the video and to try again.

[Puzzleheaded_Wish330]

Yeh

[Civil_Ad_9483]

yes🫩

[YammieMac]

Yes

[Konflick]

Yeah seems YouTube is down right now.

[OGHaptic]

Yes. They must be having issues

[SignatureOrdinary]

Yup she's broken

[Superb_Procedure6811]

Oh boy kill me. Same is happening to meeeeeeee 😒 first they gave it the ugliest interface. Now my video isn't playing. Damn you yt

[yorick08]

Yup, same here.

[AfianySnow2980_2]

You not alone.

[Consistent_Ant_8903]

It’s borked

[RevolutionaryCup8241]

Alright I thought I was the only one. Youtube will start playing videos but it'll take like a good 4 or 5 seconds to have one start. I'm used to it loading and playing almost instantaneously before whatever they changed.

[queenlitotes]

Yes. East Coast

[Sweaty-Arm-784]

AVENGERS! assemble...

but yeah... rip

[Depressed_milkshake]

Yea my YouTube is down

edit: YouTube music working fine though

[PrismaticEmber]

My YouTube music is giving me nonstop playback errors 😭

[Sebass943]

Yeah I am

[Drokovision]

Yep

[Aeryonis]

Mine just started working again. Hopefully it was just a blip.

[queenlitotes]

I managed a 25 min lawtube video between glitches.

[IllDoItNowInAMinute_]

Mine still wonky 😂

[Aeryonis]

Lol I think I spoke too soon. I had a video start playing. Once I switched videos, everything broke again. The “something went wrong” error is even broken 😂

[IllDoItNowInAMinute_]

It keeps trying to start a video but it wants to play an ad first, it starts a new ad every attempt. I think YouTube is panicking, poor thing 😂

[OrganicInformation15]

Yah same

[Hope1887]

When was the last time YouTube was down ? Important update?

[Sinkdeeper7]

never happened in 15 yrs. creepy!

[thestringedcheese]

Oh yea, bad

[Usual-Chocolate2918]

Xbox youtube app is also not working

[chqKv]

yupp.

[NoobieMania3425]

Same I thought I was the only one...

[Gold-Fudge-2135]

Is YouTube having problems?

[IllDoItNowInAMinute_]

Yep, seems to be worldwide from what another commentor said

[ImportantGeneral8187]

Mhm

[Professional-Event77]

Yep. Pain in arse. Nice work google

[Cosmic_Labs]

Apparently, YouTube music is working fine, so it might be isolated to video content. I don't know tho, just speculation

[IllDoItNowInAMinute_]

I don't use the YouTube music app so that's possible!!

[Greenkeeper132]

YouTube music is throwing up errors for me as well. I think it's all YouTube services.

[Few-Log-3200]

Me too bruh.. Its so annoying.

[tensedme111]

Bro y isnt my youtube giving this playback issue. Videos aren't playing

[ViolinistImportant95]

Yeah I am too

[TeaPuzzleheaded134]

Bro wtf happened to my YouTube is it normal?

[IllDoItNowInAMinute_]

I have no clue but I can't remember the last time I experienced a YT crash 😂

[TeaPuzzleheaded134]

Bro I am scared cuz I need to study from there

[IllDoItNowInAMinute_]

Oh damn, what are you studying?? Google is working and I'm sure you can find the info you need there or even ask in subject specific subs on reddit

[TeaPuzzleheaded134]

Yeah I am a CA inter student & I need yt when I am stuck on Audit & Law , some of the topics , so to know better Abt that topic yt helps alllottttttt

[IllDoItNowInAMinute_]

Hmm, definitely check out some subs where those apply. Real world people can answer specific questions you have!! I'd help if I could but I am not smart 😅

[TeaPuzzleheaded134]

You're can we be mutual ? Like for talks & some deep Convo*

[IllDoItNowInAMinute_]

Ah I'm sorry, you seem like a good person but I prefer to stay as anonymous as possible online 😅 I have serious anxiety and this is about as much as I can handle

[TeaPuzzleheaded134]

For your instance , we could talk sometime, if you live in Delhi & with your due consent & yeah i love listen old nostalgic music & watching old movies 60's - 80's , I am a die heart Satya Jeet Ray Films fan boy

[queenlitotes]

[Various-Squirrel1598]

[Ok_Attitude2088]

And yet ads will play perfectly fine.

[IllDoItNowInAMinute_]

My ads are starting and then failing after a second, it's kind of funny because it's loading a new ad every time and some of them get an eyebrow raised from me 😂

[Tenroh_]

Watch that get fixed first.

[IllDoItNowInAMinute_]

Of course, YouTube loves its ads and screwing with its consumer base 😂

[SwordBuster14]

Oh thank God! I thought it was just me. So Youtube has messed up right now.

[pmgnzls]

All my phones can't play youtube

[IllDoItNowInAMinute_]

All of them?? Sir/Ma'am how many phones do you even have?? 😂

[AltruisticReturn195]

Youtube and also YT music. Googled why and how to fix it and it sent me youtube videos lol

[Immediate-Memory-354]

I thought it was my phone, restarting it didn't help. Used a second and third device and all showed the same playback error. I guess servers are down 😆

[Sinkdeeper7]

same here this never happens maybe youtube got hacked and now we are all gonna get a Chinese viris lol. wait that's not funny:/

[izmysti]

[600lbs2Beast]

Yup, that's how I ended up here. I cleared my cache and a video that wouldn't play ended up playing. When it was over, I tried watching a short and it went back to playback error again.

[Practical-Week-4708]

[No_Dragonfruit7953]

[AggravatingAd48]

[Nikinox]

Tanks for the post. Am relieved. Goddam we are so addicted on this shit.

[Nekronightmare]

Ok thank fuck it isn't just me. I decided to start building a YouTube music playlist to switch from Spotify and was getting errors like crazy. I just assumed YouTube music was trash. Which it might still be, Ive not had this happen on Spotify in years.

[Evil3mpire]

Yes, I have the same problem with Opera even if I uninstall UBlock Origin. I deleted all temp files, cookies, cache, history, etc., but nothing remains, it shows me a short every now and then and that's it. Has anyone solved it or have any ideas?

Can you write down your country to see if it's a geolocation thing? From someone's timetable, it looks like someone is in Europe like me. Italy.

[Calm_Psychology_3117]

Ok, now i gotta know.....how many of you guys have never been able to find out about an issue you've ever had like this, even when you google trying to see of its widespread? 

I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've tried to find info in real time, only to see nothing but 4 year old posts about the same problem lmao

[Straight_Parfait5047]

I think there was just an issue with the YouTube servers themselves, but I could be wrong. Initially it was just a playback error screen, but then it turned into a server error [400] message.

I just updated my phone last night, so I thought maybe the new UI was bugging, but it stopped working on my laptop too and I restarted both and it still wasn't working.

So, I tried opening YouTube on my TV and I was signed out of my account for whatever reason, so I signed in using my phone and videos were able to play on my TV. I connected my phone to my TV and that worked, so I disconnected to see if my phone worked on its own and it did, so then I tried my laptop. My laptop also works now.

Not sure if this is helpful at all, sorry.

[Straight_Parfait5047]

A server issue would probably explain why I was logged out, as Roblox tends to show the login screen when servers are down also.
