YouTube doesn't work: Shows "go upgrade" message instead of video

Just this evening Youtube stopped working in opera for me! I'm getting a message "Old Flash? Go upgrade!" even though i have the lates flash player installed. It worked until a few hours ago, wtf?!


Moderator note: Edited the previous title, "Youtube doesnt work anymore", to make it more relevant and descriptive.

Does'nt work on last snapshot. Use JS solution.

Confirmed!

Check browser.js http://www.opera.com/docs/browserjs/

(altough youtube has fixed the problem on their side also)

Same problem here; always getting "an error occured, please try again later"-message. Although I can work around it by deleting the youTube-cookies... more precisely the one named "VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE". If I delete that youtube works again for another video
So in my case the JS-solution posted above doesn't work

That's not the problem where this topic goes about,
don't have the problem and wouldn't now how to resolve that

Using "Enable On Demand Plugin" still leads to the same message...

A spectacularly paranoid claim, for which you have absolutely no evidence of.

Wrong. Anyone with more than half a brain can easily search the forums and find hundreds of sites that are breaking purely because of browser sniffing.

Opera WAS designed to deal with "potholes". It was actually built from scratch to handle bad code.

And yet, it frequently doesn't. How ironic.[/quote]
There's nothing ironic about it, considering that sites are specifically targeting Opera with browser sniffing.

That a tank has been designed to take fire doesn't mean that it's impossible to destroy a tank. But of course, delusional people don't understand these things.

Meanwhile, Opera has quietly corrected the issue with an updated browser.js file. As predicted, the car got fixed...not the pothole.

Actually, YouTube fixed it on their end. Opera just made a temporary workaround. Oops!

Ah, personal insults. The last desperate act of someone who finds themselves defeated by basic logic, common sense and facts that are obvious to anybody with any objectivity.

I'll just say goodbye by pointing that you really don't need to take it upon yourself to defend your beloved browser every time somebody points something out about it. Opera doesn't need your defense...it's not necessary or helpful in any way.

Confirmed!

Using Opera 10.10 (Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit)

Will work when YT linked from another site, otherwise 'an error occurred please try again later'
Doesn't matter whether flashblock.js is installed or not - same message.

Absolutely no idea - maybe 10.51+ is required.

The 'Never Accept Cookies' solution here.... http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=539281 solved the problem mentioned in my April 24 post above.

Very sorry, but it was actually about this thread!

To get working youtube try to not use FlashBlocker.js etc. on YT-services.

YouTube now works with 'Enable On Demand Plugin' (build 3370)

(Unfortunately PDFs do not...)

Confirmed! Big thanks to Opera team.

The same problem with Opera 12.01 and Win7-64 until today. I downgraded to 11.64 but email stopped working. I upgraded back to 12.01 and checked for Win updates. I noticed that MS Silverlight was possible to update. That resolved all. I had also problems with (java based) internet games and all problems are now gone.
