The link generated on your side https://r4---sn-vgqs7nez.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?ei=bXJCWcbED8S94gL88LeYAQ&requiressl=yes&ratebypass=yes&ipbits=0&ip=103.218.243.95&expire=1497548493&mime=video%2Fmp4&source=youtube&key=cms1&itag=22&id=o-AFRMG33yATsC7rSivsKXYQy0c8DcNYzgL4y8WzN4VcNC&dur=601.930&lmt=1481784077045135&sparams=dur,ei,expire,id,ip,ipbits,ipbypass,itag,lmt,mime,mip,mm,mn,ms,mv,pl,ratebypass,requiressl,source&pl=21&signature=77B3E5954E65E2922C17316B36142BB2C75385D5.7B6F73C9AF7DE4E12FEB08BA2D1147E83BF0CBD5&req_id=89c8c8004154a3ee&ipbypass=yes&mip=140.112.28.103&cm2rm=sn-u5oxu-un5e7e,sn-un5e7l&redirect_counter=3&cms_redirect=yes&mm=34&mn=sn-vgqs7nez&ms=ltu&mt=1497533193&mv=m works fine even on my machine. Maybe your ISP or China's Great Firewall (GFW) blocks connections to YouTube? Could you view the link above in browsers? If not could you ping r2---sn-i3beln76.googlevideo.com?

@yan12125 ，great thanks. my local machine works fine, but not for my webserver. the webserver locates in Hong Kong, maybe i need to change ip.

173.194.59.75 is a valid Google IP. I guess your server is blocked by YouTube, so I'm closing this here. If you have any new findings, (for example using the webserver as a proxy and YouTube works) feel free to leave comments here or to #13388.

@yan12125 ,okey, great thanks.
