My youtube5 has stopped working it seems, I'm getting this on every video:

Anybody else getting this? Or does anyone have another extension they use that works well?

I understand it might just be a change on youtube's part that is causing this and presume the dev will sort it in the coming weeks though

YouTube is now default HTML5 playback. As long as you're using Safari 8.x it will play the HTML5 videos without the need for the extension. I use ClickToFlash extension but I removed the YouTube killer since they are in HTML 5 now.

Looks like my 'click to plugin' extension is screwing with the youtube5 extension.

I unticked click to plugin and youtube5 is working again.

Can close thread if needed.

Had absolutely no idea thanks! Even for older videos?

You're welcome, and from what I can tell pretty much most of the videos if not all. But I'm not positive about the older ones.
