YouTube not working , showing playback error , ipad mini

I was able to watch youtube videos till the start of this month and then suddenly one day when I went on the YouTube app to watch videos I got playback error , I thought it would go away but the problem still persisted , then is tried all the possible solutions on the net , deleted the app and then reinstalled , signed out of my google account , performed a factory reset , I even updated my modem firmware and went to the extent of even buying a new one but still the problem persist , my iPad mini feels like junk lying on the table pls someone help.

iPad, iOS 7.1.1

I had done all the above too. But 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

Thanks buddy. This worked for me. I bought ipad mini couple of months back and this was the third bug I came across. But thankfully this worked for YouTube issue and hope fully I dont get any other bug.Other two bugs remain as is...!!

honestly ipad looks good , battery is good, screen is beautiful but small bugs and money for every small app doesn't really make it a value for money.

thanks anyways....
