it looks like this is moving along to be fixed, but i thought i would post my simple findings.

basically, i just cannot watch any youtube videos. i'm not using anything fancy like playlists, etc. i'm just searching for a youtube video, and then double-clicking on the results, then i get the error message mentioned in the title of this bug report. this has been happening for every video i've been trying to play.

i notice from the other posts that this may be network related. so, i will tell you i am using a laptop which has a wireless card in it. it is associated with my AP and connects automatically upon bootup. however, due to the instability of it (it is based on the ralink rt2860 chipset), i have hardwired my laptop to my router with a cat-5 cable. upon bootup, i usually disable the wireless by selecting that option from the right-click menu of the network manager icon, forcing the laptop to use the ethernet. so that might be causing some problem. however, i've been using this method for some time and i don't think i've had problems with totem/youtube for that long........
