WTF is up with youtube?

Post by Plan B »

Every time I try to change quality settings, it crashes with "An error occurred. Please try again later."
Can I get a witness?

Are you using Chrome? If so, try going to "chrome://plugins/" in a new tab and see how many Shockwave Flash entries you have. If there are more than one, try disabling the older one [or either one if they are the same version]. Reload the browser and try again.

Have you tried checking your internet connection? It might be a fluxing capacitor.

No, firefox, fully updated.
But now it seems I can switch youtube quality settings again, without crashes. Like they fixed it.
Ah well, a non-issue I suppose.


Panicking about some trivial internet issue. Mankind sure has come a long way :smirk:
Sorry...

I often hear people complain about this, but I don't understand it, because your PC will shut down once it's done automatically, so you don't have to actually stick around and keep pressing buttons you know.

Lots of people only shut down their computer because they physically need the computer. Like changing hardware or moving it.

Even if this isnt a daily activity, it only needs to happen once at the wrong time for it to be a huge annoyance.
