We are getting many customer reports of YouTube streaming failures. The content directory and search work, but attempts to view videos results in "something went wrong, click to try again" error messages. We've reproduced the problem on AT&T, Level3, Frontier, Cox and Comast networks. We are also seeing it on cellular data connections, which tends to rule out geo-IP errors. Is anyone else seeing this?

I'm seeing this as well, but only on Apple and Linux products. Seems to be working fine on Windows.
Thank you,
