They've been "aware of the issue" for months. I wouldn't listen to any of the crap they come out with. Working on the VM forums has got to be the most soul destroying job in the world, listening to complaint after complaint and knowing that the fix date you're posting is likely to come and go without the issue being fixed.

I will point out youtube have made some changes in the last few weeks, which seems to have broken their site somewhat.
First of all if you use the auto bitrate option, its buggy full stop. eg if try to skip forwards on auto it often then sits there doing nothing until you set a specific bitrate.
If you leave it on eg never play videos in high quality which stops it starting on auto but starts on 360p usually and then can manually switch to 720p, this used to work fine everytime, but now sometimes it tries to switch to 720p whilst still playing 360p (so seamless switch), when its doing this you see the clog icon spinning round and its buggy as well. Also when it does this 720p no longer buffers all the way to the end full speed like it used to. google cant stop messing around with youtube and as a result bugs happen. I dont know how bad youtube is on VM atm but its buggy currently on its own side, which might explain some of what people are seeing lately.
