YouTube Videos not working in Safari on iPad 2

When I use YouTube in Safari on my iPad 2, I noticed that the official music videos are not working in YouTube. I get an error message which states "Video cannot be played on mobile." Below is a link to the all time most watched videos. Not music videos (Video # 5) play fine on my iPad but the official music videos (Videos 1 - 4) do not.

Unfortunately, there is no Vevo app in the UK.

Yes but the person asking the question is from the us where it is available.

Even the Vevo app is lacking many of the videos from youtube, unfortunately.

Sorry, I realise that. I should have put a sad face at the end of my post!

It's not just music videos. I tried to watch some hockey videos tonight, specifically one a friend of mine posted - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGxcFfLiAH8

Views fine on my computers, but will not play on my iPad 2. For that matter, I can't even search and find it, even if I type the exact name of it, or the User ID.

I am running into a lot of videos doing this recently and I found a google/youtube page updated on 3/19/2011 stating that videos have to be set for syndication to include mobile.
