When I tried to play several youtube videos on my iphone
tonight...it came back with an error message saying
"This movie could not be played". This happens for any
video I select. Anybody have a clue about this?
I have the same problem too! Just bought an iPhone, pretty excited, and coming back home, I find that I'm not able to play any of the videos on YouTube (The App that comes with the iPhone). I'm able to play the videos on my iPod touch (connected to some wifi network). But iPhone connected to the same wi-fi network can't play the same video!
Have the same problem. All youtube content refuse to play with the "movie could not be played". Happened from one minute to the next early this morning, CET. with iPhone 2.2.1. Tried resetting, restoring, doesn't matter. Ipod Touch on the same wi-fi has no problems playing the same videos... must be a Youtube problem... anyone?!
I'm having the same problem. I've tried restoring all settings on my phone and this hasn't worked. I'm confused because some videos seem to work and some don't. However, it's not just a case of the iPhone not supporting certain videos as I was able to use it fine to watch any video I wanted yesterday (including some it's now refusing to play). Any ideas for a fix? It would be much appreciated!
Apparently it happened to both of us tonight at the same time.
Now (12:35 CET)I see the YouTube videos at work again. I took no action at all in the meantime.
It was, I think, a YouTube problem. All right now.

I just checked now (13.00 cet) and it's still not working here. I don't know what the topography of the youtube network is like, so maybe it will resolve itself later... hope it's not some sort of virus... it's so puzzling that the iPod touch has no problems...
I noticed this last night. A couple of videos played then suddenly nothing plays. Some iPhone or mobile related outage at youTube I suspect since youTube works fine on my desktop. Or maybe Apple and youTube have had a fight?
Anyone got this fixed? I have been experiencing the same issue since this morning (did not check late last night, but early last night it was working)
I am unable to play 95% of the videos on youtube, however if i try watching the same video by going to youtube tru Safari (on the phone itself), it plays ok.
I dont want to reset the phone if this is something that has to do with the connection or youtube servers etc...
I am experiencing exactly the same AND did restore the phone completely once, to NO avail... going through Safari now also works for me, but it didn't earlier today... someone in another thread mentioned the problem is worse with previously played movies... strange
I'm still having the same youtube problem on my I-pod touch 2nd gen. Youtube hasn't been working on my ipod since 11 hours ago. Does anybody know a fix for this problem or will we have to wait for apple or youtube for a fix.
