Whenever tried to play videos on YouTube it says "unknown error", it had been working fine all these days, from past few days i've been facing this issue ?
I was also unable to access app store & game centre for which I got a fix by updating the DNS server in wifi section
iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1
Do you get the error when it tries to play embedded YouTube videos specifically, or getting to YouTube webpage, or...?? How is access to normal web pages (cnn.com, msnbc.com, etc)? Do videos on those sites (assuming they're not Flash) work?

no, its the regular youtube app that is not working and also if tried to play any youtube videos posted on different websites, even those don't play
Yeah I'm having the same problem with my iPad 2 and iPhone 4s. It worked over 3G but not on wifi.
got my problem resolved
there was a problem with my WAN settings(on router)
if you guys are unable to access youtube over wifi on your devices
better option is to call the router manufacturer, b'coz i had this problem for over a month
posted a lot of questions on several blogs, didn't get any help
let me know if anyone having problems accessing youtube over wifi on your idevices 😉
I'm having this issue now and I can't figure out what to do. I have dappled in my router settings and have tried changing the channels from "Auto" to "G" and/or "N" and got no results. This is very frustrating...
can u go to wan settings and check what MTU size is, default value is 1480
can u try changing it to 1400, restart your router and then try 😉
I didn't fix any settings with the router. I just randomly tried YouTube today and now it works fine for some reason. It was only YouTube mobile not working. So there must have been something wrong with the mobile site.
Before going down the router route..try this..it solved my problem completely..
The answer to my problem was to change the DNS server number (should have done this first when the "playback error" persisted.:/). Take a screenshot of your original DNS number for future necessity, then change it to OpenDNS..or google DNS...I used google DNS...for complete & thorough instructions..follow this site:--> http://www.macinstruct.com/node/558
