A weird youtube problem

For about an hour, youtube has been broken, at least for me. For most of the videos, it shows only a "We're sorry, this video is no longer available." notice. That sucks, especialy since it includes videos from recommended, top of search results, etc. Grr., hope they fix it soon.

The problem seems to be with a decoder not recognizing the format. I can download the video (using the DownloadHelper ff addon for example) but I can't play it in mplayer either (using version 2:1.0~rc2-0ubuntu13.1) .. it says

[flv @ 0x8750b74]Unsupported video codec (7)[flv @ 0x8750b74]Unsupported video codec (7)[flv @ 0x8750b74]Unsupported video codec (7)[flv @ 0x8750b74]Could not find codec parameters (Video: 0x0007)[flv @ 0x8750b74]Could not find codec parameters (Audio: 0x000a, 44100 Hz, stereo)

.

I guess the flash part hasn't been updated for some video format changes. Or maybe it's somehow cached on my side? Or could they really have deleted so many videos at a time? ()

Well, it really sucks, I'm on work Eee, with no data and my server disconnected. Fnuk.

P.S. let's see how long it'll take to compile mplayer on Eee :) *CRAZY*

EDIT1: like, 10 minutes, cool
EDIT2: while videos on youtube still don't work, current mplayer plays them just fine :) mplayer FTW
