I noticed a lot of times when you play a YouTube video, it just doesn't play. Sometimes they do play and I go to switch to HD mode and then a message pops up saying the video can't be played. I thought this was a YouTube issue only, but it also happens with my app Where when I try to watch movie previews and switch to HD.

Any suggestions?
 
I have the same problem..it takes forever for a video to load and that's only if it decides to. It may play a few seconds and then it just freezes. I'm lucky to get these videos in normal play and almost never am able to get them in high quality mode. Is that because they don't all come in high quality mode? I guess I'm more frustrated with the problem of opening the video and having them play all the way through. Any input on this would really be appreciated.
