Problems with Youtube links posted on Facebook

Hi,

Posted this elsewhere, thought I'd try the device-specific forum.

Recently, I haven't been able to play Youtube links posted on fb. Youtube opens, but the 'play' button is greyed out.

Have deleted cache, reinstalled Youtube, and that has had some effect, e.g. a link posted on a friend's fb page works, but one on a music page I'm following doesn't!!

That in itself doesn't make sense!

Any bright ideas?

Do the links work on desktop? If you get the link from the YouTube video straight from YouTube, does the video play in your mobile app? If not, then the videos themselves might be restricted to not play on mobile. Yup, some do that.
