YouTube music and YouTube normal won’t play. Logging out made no difference.

Looks like around 1.00pm problems started.

you just get the spinning circle on all videos that you try to watch




Common sense is not as common as you think.

I'm having the same issue. Firing up a VPN fixes it. Must be a local cache breaking.

 

On Orcon.

Yup - on 2D Fibre. 

 

Was attempting to watch the 1pm briefing and the MOH feed wouldn't load. Neither with RNZ's.

Yes, there are issues. Chasing it at the moment. Appears to affect all RSPs.

I was also having issues accessing YT....

 

We are seeing connectivity issues across multiple clients.  Maybe 1 in 15 pings drop, where the rest respond in acceptable timeframes.  

 

A little odd.  Hopefully resolved soon.

You can see using downdetector that it's having issues globally, so there's nothing we can do locally to fix it - I have checked and all of our caches are still up and responding just fine - but no new sessions are being assigned to them so it's upstream of the RSPs.

 

We'll just have to wait for them to fix their end.

Ahh so that's what happened, we were mid sentence and them the streams just died... - what timing :( 

 

 

 

According to my Twitter there are reports of a global YouTube outage, although some restoration has apparently begun...

Twitter is the best global down detector you'll find for this kind of thing.

Seems to be back now... Our traffic is at 70% of normal and climbing.

Oh so it wasn't just me,

 

I kept getting a 'playback error'.
