Hi, there could be an issue with your WiFi or Mobile Data connection - do you notice anything else like the internet being slow?

If you're still having the problem I would suggest clearing cache for the YouTube app.

Hi Guys,
Only youtube video's come up with the alert,other video's from say "The Guardian or BBC" play fine.
Youtube video's only show the subject frame for a fraction of a second and immediately the picture dimms and the alert comes up.
Tried to uninstall youtube app. to reinstall it but the HTC does not let you do that but only force stop it.
I do not fancy re-setting the phone to factory default and loose all the data!
Am I the only one having this problem?
Any help welcome.

Arj.
