YouTube非常受欢迎，我们中的许多人每天至少观看一次视频，所以我们最终一定会遇到某种类型的错误。最常见的是“发生错误，请稍后重试”错误消息。
(Videos)弹出此错误时视频不会播放，但有几种方法可以修复它。
当您尝试播放任何YouTube视频时，通常会出现错误消息，因为导致它的原因会影响整个平台。在某些情况下，您可能仅在播放特定视频时才会遇到它。无论哪种方式，您都可能正在处理损坏的浏览器文件、有故障的DNS 缓存(DNS cache)或出现问题的广告拦截器。
在本文中，我们将探讨在YouTube 上(YouTube)导致“发生错误，请稍后重试”的最常见问题，并向您展示如何解决这些问题。
什么可能导致YouTube 上出现“发生错误，请稍后再试”(YouTube)
大多数这些错误消息是由一些问题引起的：
- 损坏(Corrupted browser files)的浏览器文件：错误可能是由于缓存数据不当或计算机病毒导致浏览器文件丢失或损坏。最好的解决方案是重新安装浏览器。
- ISP 分配了错误的 DNS(ISP assigned the wrong DNS)：您的互联网服务提供商会自动为您提供DNS，但有时这会阻止YouTube视频正常工作。为了解决这个问题，我们可以改用公共DNS。
- 广告拦截器干扰(Ad Blocker interference)：我们中的许多人都在使用广告拦截器(using ad blockers)来摆脱在YouTube视频中放置的那些讨厌的广告。有时，广告拦截器会阻止整个视频播放，而不仅仅是广告。要对此进行测试，请禁用广告拦截器并重新启动浏览器。
- 损坏的 DNS 缓存(Broken DNS cache)：DNS数据会影响您的浏览器，缓存损坏会导致问题。只需(Simply)清除DNS缓存即可解决此问题。
- 过时的驱动程序和插件(Outdated drivers and plugins)：据报道，某些驱动程序，尤其是音频驱动程序在播放YouTube视频时会导致错误。确保(Make)它们是最新的。您的浏览器也可能受到某些已过期或与YouTube不兼容的插件的影响。
如果您不知道导致播放错误消息的原因，让我们来看看上面的每个问题。您将在下面找到几个可以解决此问题的修复程序。
尝试不同的浏览器
错误是否发生在不同的浏览器上？尝试(Try)在新安装的Firefox、Edge、Safari或Chrome浏览器上播放YouTube视频，看看是否弹出相同的错误消息。
如果没有，您只需删除并重新安装您当前的浏览器即可(remove and reinstall your current browser)。这将清除您的 cookie、历史记录、缓存、插件以及可能导致错误的任何其他内容。
清除 DNS 缓存
当您使用的每个浏览器上都出现错误消息时，您的DNS缓存可能是问题所在。您只需清除DNS缓存即可修复许多浏览器错误。
要清除它，请以管理员(Administrator)身份打开命令提示符(Command Prompt)并键入以下命令：
ipconfig /flushdns
这将删除DNS缓存中的所有数据，强制系统获取新数据。如果这没有帮助，下一步是更改DNS提供商。
更改您的 DNS
您的域名服务器通常由您的互联网服务提供商自动设置。在某些情况下，某些DNS会阻止您播放YouTube视频。要绕过它，您可以将其更改为您想要的任何公共DNS。最值得信赖的之一是 Google 的公共DNS。但是，还有更多可供选择，因此请务必查看我们关于最佳免费公共 DNS 服务器(best free public DNS servers)的文章。
1. 要更改您的 DNS，请转到设置(Settings)>网络和设置(Network & Settings)>网络连接(Network Connections)，然后单击更改适配器选项(Change adapter options)。
2. 右键单击您的活动网络连接，选择Properties，您将看到网络适配器列表。
3. 选择Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)并单击属性(Properties)。这将打开一个窗口，您可以在其中更改DNS服务器。
4. 选择使用以下 DNS 服务器地址(Use the following DNS server addresses)选项并键入新的DNS服务器地址。
如果您想使用 Google 的免费公共DNS服务器，请在首选和备用(DNS)DNS服务器字段中输入以下地址：
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
您可以使用其中任何一个作为首选地址。此外，您可以以相同的方式设置公共 DNS IPv6 地址(Public DNS IPv6 addresses)。
步骤相同，只是您需要从网络适配器列表中选择Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)DNS服务器键入以下地址：
2001:4860:4860::8888
001:4860:4860::8844
清除浏览数据
您可以通过清除浏览数据来修复大多数与浏览器相关的问题。清除缓存数据很简单，我们将向您展示如何使用Firefox来完成。本质上，无论您使用的是Firefox、Chrome、Safari还是Edge ，这些步骤都是相同的。如果您在浏览器方面需要帮助，请查看我们关于如何清除任何网络浏览器缓存的(how to clear the cache of any web browser)详细文章。
首先，打开Firefox浏览器，单击屏幕右上角的三行菜单图标，然后选择(three-line menu icon)Settings。
进入“设置”(Settings)面板后，选择“隐私和安全”(Privacy & Security)。向下滚动直到找到Cookie 和站点数据(Cookies and Site Data)部分，然后单击清除数据(Clear Data)按钮。
这将打开一个新窗口，让您可以选择清除所有Cookie 和站点数据(Cookies and Site Data)以及缓存的 Web 内容(Cached Web Content)。选择两者以删除各个站点存储在系统上的所有代码和临时文件。
现在您可以重新启动浏览器并尝试观看YouTube视频。如果错误仍然存在，请继续进行下一个修复。
禁用和启用 YouTube 的自动播放(Autoplay)
据一些报道称，YouTube 的自动播放功能导致“发生错误，请稍后重试”错误。为确保不是这种情况，请尝试禁用并启用自动播放功能。
转到YouTube并播放您想要的任何视频。您会在视频右下角的控制栏中找到自动播放功能。默认情况下，它设置为On。
如果已启用，请将其禁用并刷新YouTube页面。如果它被禁用，请改为启用它。接下来(Next)，关闭您的网络浏览器并再次打开它。重复前面的启用/禁用步骤。检查是否发生错误。
禁用浏览器扩展
某些(Certain)扩展程序可能会阻止YouTube正常工作。要了解您的浏览器插件之一是否阻止视频播放，请禁用所有扩展程序。
我们将使用Firefox作为禁用浏览器扩展的示例，但您可以使用其他浏览器应用相同的步骤。选项的名称可能不同，因此请查找 Extensions 或 Add-ons。
启动Firefox并转到浏览器菜单，您将在其中找到Add-ons 和 Themes(Add-ons and Themes)。
单击左侧面板中的扩展选项，您将在已(Extensions)启用(Enabled)列标题下看到所有活动扩展。要禁用任何或全部，只需单击开/关开关。
如果您禁用了所有这些并且YouTube开始正常工作，您应该开始一一启用扩展，直到错误再次开始出现。这样，您将找出问题所在并将其永久删除。
检查您的广告拦截器
您是否使用广告拦截(ad-blocker)器来阻止广告播放？如果是，它可能会阻止 YouTube 的一项功能，从而导致错误。测试这一点的最简单方法是采取上述步骤并禁用广告拦截器扩展。
如果广告拦截软件是罪魁祸首，您可以将其删除并安装其他软件或将 YouTube 添加到其白名单中。每个广告拦截器都有一个“排除”部分，用于输入您要列入白名单的网站网址。但是，其中一些，例如 uBlock Origin，甚至更简单，您只需在访问特定站点时按“禁用”按钮即可。
检查您的防病毒软件
如果您使用除Windows Defender之外的防病毒软件，您应该禁用它以查看它是否会导致YouTube出现问题。这很少是问题，但值得研究。
如果防病毒软件导致问题，请尝试使用其“修复”功能或将其卸载。
重新安装您的网络浏览器
如果您尝试了所有方法，但在YouTube 上(YouTube)仍然出现错误，那么是时候重新安装您的浏览器了。无论您使用的是Firefox、Chrome、Edge还是其他任何工具，重新安装过程都会清除任何可能导致错误的内容。
要卸载浏览器，请转到控制面板(Control Panel)>程序(Programs )>程序和功能(Programs and Features)，然后在程序列表中查找您的浏览器。右键单击它并选择Uninstall。
该过程完成后，从官方网站下载并重新安装浏览器。或者，您可以尝试使用其他网络浏览器(try a different web browser)。
我们希望这些解决方案之一解决了“发生错误，请稍后再试”错误。在评论中让我们知道哪个修复对您有用！
How to Fix “An Error Occurred Please Try Again Later” on YouTube
YouTube is immensely popular, with many of us watching a video at least once a day, so we’re bound to encounter some type of error eventually. The most common one is the “an error occurred, please try again later” error message.
Videos don’t play when this error pops up, but there are several ways to fix it.
The error message usually appears when you try to play any YouTube video because what’s causing it affects the entire platform. In some cases, you might encounter it only when playing specific videos. Either way, you’re probably dealing with corrupt browser files, a faulty DNS cache, or an ad blocker going haywire.
In this article, we’re going to explore the most common issues that cause “an error occurred, please try again later” on YouTube and show you how to fix them.
What Can Cause “An Error Occurred Please Try Again Later” on YouTube
Most of these error messages are caused by a handful of issues:
- Corrupted browser files: The error can be caused by missing or corrupted browser files resulting from badly cached data or a computer virus. The best solution is to reinstall your browser.
- ISP assigned the wrong DNS: Your internet service provider automatically gives you a DNS, but sometimes this prevents YouTube videos from working. To fix this, we can use a public DNS instead.
- Ad Blocker interference: Many of us are using ad blockers to get rid of those pesky ads placed throughout YouTube videos. Sometimes, an ad blocker will prevent the entire video from playing instead of just the ads. To test this, disable your ad blocker and restart your browser.
- Broken DNS cache: DNS data affects your browser, and a bad cache causes issues. Simply clearing the DNS cache should fix this.
- Outdated drivers and plugins: Some drivers, especially the audio ones, have been reported to cause errors when playing YouTube videos. Make sure they’re up to date. Your browser can also be affected by certain plugins that are out of date or incompatible with YouTube.
If you don’t know what’s causing the playback error message, let’s look into each of the issues above. Below you will find several fixes that can solve this issue.
Try a Different Browser
Does the error occur on a different browser? Try playing YouTube videos on a freshly installed Firefox, Edge, Safari, or Chrome browser to see if the same error message pops up.
If it doesn’t, you should simply remove and reinstall your current browser. This will clear your cookies, history, cache, plugins, and anything else that was probably causing the error.
Clear the DNS Cache
When the error message appears on every browser you use, your DNS cache might be the problem. You can fix many browser errors by simply clearing your DNS cache.
To clear it, open the Command Prompt as Administrator and type the following command:
ipconfig /flushdns
This will remove all the data inside the DNS cache, forcing the system to get new data. If this doesn’t help, the next step is to change the DNS provider.
Change Your DNS
Your domain name server is usually set automatically by your internet service provider. In some cases, that certain DNS will prevent you from playing YouTube videos. To go around it, you change it to any public DNS you want. One of the most trustworthy ones is Google’s public DNS. However, there are many more to choose from, so make sure to check our article on the best free public DNS servers.
1. To change your DNS, go to Settings > Network & Settings > Network Connections and click on Change adapter options.
2. Right-click on your active network connection, select Properties, and you’ll see a list of network adapters.
3. Choose Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on Properties. This opens the window where you can change the DNS server.
4. Select the Use the following DNS server addresses option and type the new DNS server addresses.
If you want to use Google’s free public DNS servers, type the following addresses in the preferred and alternate DNS server fields:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
You can use either one as your preferred address. Additionally, you can set the Public DNS IPv6 addresses the same way.
The steps are the same, except you need to select Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) from the list of network adapters and type the following addresses for Google’s free public DNS servers:
2001:4860:4860::8888
001:4860:4860::8844
Clear Browsing Data
You can fix most browser-related issues by clearing browsing data. Clearing cache data is simple, and we’ll show you how to do it using Firefox. In essence, the steps are the same whether you’re using Firefox, Chrome, Safari, or Edge. If you need help with your browser, check out our detailed article on how to clear the cache of any web browser.
To get started, open your Firefox browser, click on the three-line menu icon in the top right corner of your screen, and choose Settings.
Once you’re in the Settings panel, choose Privacy & Security. Scroll down until you find the Cookies and Site Data section and click on the Clear Data button.
This opens a new window that gives you the option to clear all your Cookies and Site Data and Cached Web Content. Select both to remove all the code and temporary files that various sites stored on your system.
Now you can restart your browser and try watching a YouTube video. If the error still occurs, proceed to the next fix.
Disable and Enable YouTube’s Autoplay
According to some reports, YouTube’s autoplay feature leads to the “an error occurred, please try again later” error. To make sure this isn’t the case, try disabling and enabling the autoplay feature.
Go to YouTube and play any video you want. You’ll find the autoplay feature in the video’s controls bar in the bottom right corner. By default, it’s set to On.
If it’s enabled, disable it and refresh the YouTube page. If it’s disabled, enable it instead. Next, close your web browser and open it once again. Repeat the previous enable/disable step. Check if the error occurs.
Disable Browser Extensions
Certain extensions can prevent YouTube from working properly. To find out if one of your browser add ons is preventing videos from playing, disable all extensions.
We will use Firefox as an example of disabling browser extensions, but you can apply the same steps using other browsers. The names of the options might be different, so look for Extensions or Add-ons.
Launch Firefox and go to the browser menu, where you will find Add-ons and Themes.
Click on the Extensions option in the left panel, and you will see all your active extensions under the Enabled column header. To disable any or all of them, simply click on the on/off switch.
If you disabled all of them and YouTube starts working fine, you should begin enabling the extensions one by one until the error starts showing up again. This way, you’ll find out which extension is the problem and remove it permanently.
Check Your Ad-Blocker
Are you using an ad-blocker to prevent ads from playing? If yes, it could be blocking one of YouTube’s features, and that causes the error. The easiest way to test this is by taking the step described above and disabling the ad-blocker extension.
If the ad-blocking software is the culprit, you can remove it and install a different one or add YouTube to its whitelist. Every ad-blocker has an “Exclude” section to type the site’s web address you want to whitelist. However, some of them, like uBlock Origin, are even simpler and all you need to do is press the “Disable” button while visiting a specific site.
Check Your Antivirus
If you’re using antivirus software in addition to Windows Defender, you should disable it to see if it’s causing the problem on YouTube. This is rarely the issue, but it’s worth looking into it.
If the antivirus is causing the problem, try using its “Repair” function or uninstall it.
Reinstall Your Web Browser
If you tried everything and you’re still getting the error on YouTube, it’s time to reinstall your browser. Whether you’re using Firefox, Chrome, Edge, or any other, the reinstallation process will purge anything that could cause the error.
To uninstall your browser, go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features, and look for your browser in the list of programs. Right-click it and choose Uninstall.
Once the process is complete, download and reinstall the browser from the official website. Alternatively, you can try a different web browser.
We hope that one of these solutions solved the “an error occurred, please try again later” error. Let us know in the comments which fix worked for you!
