anybody having trouble with YouTube.

First, none of the videos would open on DU posts.

Got this message where the video should have played.

"www.youtube.com unexpectedly closed the connection".


So I tried going straight to YouTube and got this message:

This site can’t be reached
www.youtube.com unexpectedly closed the connection.
Try:

Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
Running Windows Network Diagnostics
ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED


I have no trouble connecting to other sites.

My guess is that it was copyrighted material, or Youtube closed the account? Or the owner pulled the video. Or it contained a virus & your AV program shut it down immediately.

I just checked on one video, and it was fine. But it wasn't the video you're referring to, since I don't know it.
