Είχα και γω το ίδιο πρόβλημα. Ο Firefox kai o chrome δεν επαιζαν video. Εγκατέστησα το
Adobe® Flash® Player Plugin Installer και τωρα όλα είναι ok.

It probably won’t work for everyone, but:

I just disabled the shockwave flash player from the firefox add ons dialog (plugins tab).

I tried to watch a video.

followed its flash installation instructions(don’t know if this was necessary, same version).

After re-enabling the shockwave plugin YouTube worked fine.

No restart of FireFox was even necessary.

This has been driving me crazy for days.

I was having this problem, videos would stop loading after a few seconds, and after trying everything, I found my solution:
Disabling the Adblock Plus add-on seems to have done the trick. now everything works fine.
Hope this helps someone out there.
