Re: [SOLVED] YouTube videos not playing after updating

I've figured out what is causing the problem - AdBlock Plus. I solved it by removing "Easylist USA" and subscribing to "Fanboy's List (English)" instead.

Easylist is the main list for adblock plus, and i doubt it would cause youtube to break. It hasn't done so for me ever.

Instead of switching to fanboy's list, you should have noted the rule which was causing the breakage, and notified the easylist authors.

PS: I am using abp with easylist and latest flash, but youtube works fine for me.

I think maybe I was using to an old version which is not updated any more - it was called "Easylist USA". It seems they have re-named it but it doesn't automatically remove the old one and add the new one, now called "Easylist (English)". When I add the new Easylist, YouTube seems to work OK.
