Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Safari won't play youtube videos properly. The video stops loading halfway and won't play at all anymore. It's really frustrating.

It's like 80% of the time, I would open a video on youtube and the video would seem to play normally. The buffering bar (gray bar) would move before the red one and the video plays normally. But around 20seconds to a minute after that, the video would stop playing and both the gray and red bars would be at the beginning of the video and the spinning thingamajig would be there and the video cannot be played at all. This started about 2 months ago. It progressed from only a few videos but now I can't even watch a trailer properly. What can I do to resolve this? It's really disappointing and frustrating, guys.


I have the latest safari version and everything in my mac is up to date.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
