Cheers, Peter Has anyone else been have trouble with Youtube video clips lately. Whether I'm using Firebox or Chrome on Mythbuntu or Linux Mint KDE, I keep getting 'an error has occurred, try again later' Is this a Youtube problem or a Flash problem? I've tried the HTML5 trial and not with Youtube. Similar results. Occasionally it works fine. Chris
