Help guys I use YouTube a lot and since yesterday i am not able to play any videos on YouTube on all of my devices. On my iPad and iPod touch's YouTube app I get a error message saying "video playback error tap to retry", no matter how many times I tap it, I get the same message. On my windows PC I get a error which says "an error occurred". I know this topic is under the wrong thread. I really want to watch YouTube videos. Can anyone please help me.

did you try switching to another sort of connectivity like 3G ? try connecting the laptop through different network than yours and check what happens
if it worked then probably you need to update your router firmware

Yes you are right. I used my iPhone as hotspot and YouTube works perfectly. My router is D-Link DSL-2730U. If you don't mind can you please tell me how to update my router firmware?'

i really don't have the expertise to clarify for you how to update your router's firmware . but you can ask around the forum in network department . certainly someone will give you a link or explain to you what to do
if not you can always google it.it's easy it will be like a single file that you will execute through your router settings it self .the 192.168.1.1 gate .but you will need LAN connection . you can't flash your router via wi-fi obviously

I had the same issue and it was resolved after clearing cookies, data, and history in Safari settings.
