Error message as follows: NSURLErrorDomain

All my YouTube videos do not want to load.

I get error message of:

what can I try to stop this problem? It literally started between a video with normal loading the follow up video.


i have tried every suggestion to deal with this, but with no response.


Any suggestions please?

“NSURLErrorDomain” by itself usually points to a network request failing, so I’d first check whether this is limited to the YouTube app.


Try the same video at YouTube.com in Safari. If it plays there, close and reopen the YouTube app and check the App Store for a YouTube update.


If it also fails in Safari, try a different Wi-Fi network if possible. I’d also temporarily turn off any VPN, ad blocker, or network filtering app you’re using and test again.


If none of that changes it, what’s the complete error message or number shown with NSURLErrorDomain? That would help narrow it down.
