Getting "Video Not Available" when trying watch video content

Posted about this earlier. I'm getting "Video Not Available" when I select any video.

This issue went away for a couple of hours today and now it is back.

Anyone have any idea what might be happening?

This started after the site came back up from the upgrade, but I have no idea if that's the key detail in terms of causation or if this is coincidental.

Any help or insight will be appreciated.

It's a YouTube thing -- if they're reporting that the content is unavailable, I guess it is unavailable. I'm sorry I can't be more help with this one.

FWIW the video above is also showing as unavailable for me, and if I click through to YouTube it is also unavailable. So it's not just you -- it's happening at YouTube's end.

I copied one of the links and tried to play it while not on DU. Same result.

This one is a head scratcher...
