Last night my Linux computer all of a sudden had black boxes instead of youtube videos. Right clicking showed the little message "movie not loaded". All other flash videos from other sites worked. Being a youtube junkie, I had to find a quick fix.
I decided to turn on my (one and only) Microsoft computer (it's good for something :biglol) to see if it does the same thing. Sure enough, yes! The movie would not load, either. Since we are talking 2 different OS's and two different versions of flash, the common denominator is the site itself.
If y'all are having this same problem, then this video will not work:

But this one will:

See the difference? I'm using secured http instead of just the regular address. I would not put this past an Adobe flash bug issue, even amongst several versions of flash software. However, it "happened rather suddenly" while I was just typing away on the Internet and no settings were changed, and certainly no settings were changed on the Microsoft since I just let it sit there for days without turning it on most of the time.
It seems to point to youtube and something they changed there. I did not try other things yet like changing cookie permissions, logging in or whatever. Y'all can experiment to see if there's another fix that will work as well.
