Youtube Not Playing

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!

Please help!!

Hello,

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!

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...
