Youtube Safari Mac - An Error Occurred. Please Try Again Later

Hi


Almost every youtube video I watch on Safari for the past few days keeps coming up with an error after a few minutes of playing.


The error says "An Error Occurred. Please Try Again Later. (Playback ID)


This started happening randomly and is very annoying as I always have to reload the page and hope it doesn't happen again.


Does anyone have any suggestions?


Thank you in advance

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

Try another browser as a test.




Firefox        10.9 or higher






Opera Browser        10.9 or higher






SeaMonkey      10.9 or higher8




Waterfox          10.8 or higher


Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.
