I'm unable to view this video using HTML5 in Nightly 2013-02-11. It plays in HTML5 in Chrome 24.0.1312.70 (Official Build 181759). It plays in HTML5 in Firefox 18.0.2

Steps to reproduce :
1. Join the HTML5 trial by going to : http://www.youtube.com/html5
2. Click "Join the HTML5 Trial"
3. Browse to : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1uyQZNg2vE

Expected results :
The video plays

Actual results :
This video is currently unavailable

To see this work on Chrome, do the same steps above.



Here's some debug data that youtube reveals :

WFM on the 2-16 nightly on Windows and Linux.

Shoot. So upon trying the newest nightly (in which it works), then trying a new profile in my 2/11 nightly in which it works, and then trying in my original profile in my 2/11 nightly and it now works.

So either trying out these other methods changed something in my profile (unlikely), or something changed on the server side (unlikely) or some other explanation I'm not thinking of.

In comparing google's debug info between when it wasn't working and when it now works, there are differences but not anything that I can decode from the outside

Anyhow, ya, don't know what caused this, it's fixed now. I guess knowing what google's errorCode 203 means might indicate what was going on. So ya, feel free to close since I've lost my ability to reproduce the problem in my attempts to lock down the cause.
