Started having trouble with Youtube videos today on Android and Apple mobile devises. The videos won't play and give a general error. On a regular computer the videos play fine. I cleared the cache and restarted the phone as per the instructions from Youtube. Is this a Youtube problem of a problem with my site?

What exactly is your problem?
-
Embedded Youtube videos get an Error and wont play.
Linked videos that open Youtube directly so play.
Youtube works on my laptop computer but does not work on my IPad or Android Phone. I tried the phone in 3G to see if it was something with my router and received the same error.

I tried it with my 4.0 installation and I didn't see this problem - my iPhone plays an embedded youtube video correctly. Let's rule out the obvious first: you cleared the forum cache and activated HTML in the editor settings before you embedded the youtube link, right?

correct

Does it happen on a specific forum/post or is it a more general issue, and doesn't matter where you embed the clip?

Any forum, Any post

It could be caused by a plugin or BBCode (did you install anything new recently?). I recall that I had issues with embedded youtube videos after I enabled some BBCode icons on the editor. Try to leave a minimal setup for the editor, clear cache, and see if the problem is still there.

nothing done to the editor
Others are able to watch videos from their phones.

Ah ok, so it seems to be strictly a mobile issue. Did you try using the default style/theme? Also, you said that it happens with both IOS and Android powered devices you have there. Are you trying this from the same location? Did you try changing DNS or flushing DNS cache in your devices?
-
Cleared the cache. Rebooted the phone. Tried loading videos while not connected to wifi from my phone. Tried using the blue temptation default theme.
-
OK, could you please attach a screenshot here you showing the error as you try to play the clip from your mobile browser?
-
-
Ok, did you also try using different browsers than the default one (for both devices)?
Edit: by the way, you do have Restriction disable, correct?
Are your devices jailbroken/unrooted?
-
I tried Explorer and Google on the Android devise. Nothing locked about the phone that I know of.
-
OK. Out of curiosity, do you have YouTube app installed? If that's the case, could you try uninstalling the app, then reboot, clear browser/device cache, reset network settings and check again?

Explorer has no backport to Android or Apple. Can you please share what user agent you have?
And would you be comfortable sharing a link to your site (see if anyone else can reproduce it)?

It only allows the app to be disabled.

In the case of your Samsung device, did you install/update flash player lately?
