Why does youtube stop loading?
For 2 days now, YouTube videos stop loading after a few seconds. They don't stutter, they don't buffer, they just plain out stop loading altogether (the red loading bar just stops). It happens on any video quality. My internet is more than sufficient to play the videos and my signal is "excellent" (5 bars). Videos from any other website load fine. All my browsers are current with updates and I have the latest version of flash. I have cleaned my cookies, temp folder, cache and any junk that could cause this. I have no viruses or malware. No weird plugins. Is it just YouTube or what?

Other possibilities + solutions:
-- Right-click any video, click "Settings" and uncheck "Enable Hardware Acceleration".
-- Disable any Adblock add-on, play a video; then re-enable the Adblock the next day.
-- There could be a player conflict, like with Chrome Pepperflash or Mozilla Shumway.
If that's the case, disable/uninstall it, and when you'd like it back, simply reinstall it.
-- Disable your AV utility while on YouTube, since you can't get a virus from YouTube.
-- You may unknowingly be using ''HTML5'' rather than "Flash''. To be sure, click here
