Why Youtube app doesn't play?...

Any idea why the iPhone Youtube app won't play a video that it has played before. I bookmarked a video and have watched it in the past. All of the sudden today, it won't play. Other vids will play (and some others won't) but I can't find any rhyme or reason for some not playing.

Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks for any suggestions.

Are you using Wi-Fi sometimes? I'm new to iPhone. I'm a BlackBerry convert and I was having the same problem with my 'Berry until I realized (stupid me) that on a BlackBerry YouTube will not play over Wi-Fi because it requires a WAP browser. You have to switch to 3G (if you have a Bold) or EDGE (if 8320). Just my two cents.

I don't believe the actual connection is the issue here. It sounds like the video may have been removed from the server. Check YouTube from a PC for the same video and see if it is still there and plays.
