I have the same problem.. what's happening? does youtube.com changes smth? or what's the problem? the same video worked few days ago..

theScrabi · 2017-01-31T12:42:53Z

It seems like they changed the player code, and it's not possible for certain crawler to parse it correctly. So those crawler have to be adjusted now.

yasinalm · 2017-01-31T13:34:14Z

yeah, the crawlers must be changed. the problem is about the player code.
