I have recently experienced this bug of Google Chrome not playing You Tube videos.It just plays for the first two seconds and then stops.I first thought it's problem with Google Chrome.But when I tried it in my other browsers, I realised my Google Chrome,Firefox and even Flock don't play YouTube video.After doing some research I came to know that it's due to the incompatibility of newest version of Macromedia Flash Player.So as a temporary fix, follow the following procedure.

Problem:You Tube video plays for 2 seconds and stops in Firefox,Google Chrome and Flock.

Solution:

1. Download the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller:
   
   • Windows: uninstall_flash_player.exe (181 KB) (updated 04/08/08) 
   • Mac OS X: uninstall_flash_player_osx.dmg (1.3 MB) (updated 5/27/08)
   • Mac OS 8.x, 9.x: uninstall_flash_player.hqx (33 KB)
2. Save the file to your system (for example, your desktop). Macintosh users may need to open or unstuff the .hqx file.
   
3. Quit ALL running applications, including all Internet Explorer or other browser windows, AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, or other Messengers. Check the Windows system tray carefully to make certain no applications are still in memory which might possibly use Flash Player.
   
4. Run the uninstaller. This will remove Adobe Flash Player from all browsers on the system.
   
5. Now reboot your PC.
6. Download Macromedia Flash Player v.9.0.0.47 from here .
7. Install it and now start your browser to see YouTube Videos.
8. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!
