I always get a plugin failure showing up and prevents me from watching videos. Sometimes, I will refresh the webpage and it will work. Most of the times it doesn't. I checked for safari updates as well as the flash player but everything is updated to the latest version. I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it and it still doesn't work. I also tried doing the peer-assisted networking and added youtube to allow but it doesn't work as well. Any ideas?

I had the same "plug-in failure" messages on my 2010 iOS 10 Mac when using Safari. I tried all the suggestions I found posted, but nothing worked.

Finally, I loaded Google's Chrome, and have now set it as my default browser. PROBLEM SOLVED. I have never had the "plug-in failure" message since using Chrome. It's a whole new world! I think there's a serious conflict between Safari and Flash which can not be solved. Switch to Chrome if you want a quick/easy solution.
