Ever since I installed Flash Player 11.5.502.136, I cannot view 97% of the videos on YouTube, using Safari. I am on an iMac, OS 10.6.8.

    Does this page show an animation and Flash Player version?

    It doesn't look like this question was ever answered, but was it resolved?    My feeling looking at this is becaues it's only YoutTUbe and not YT videos played on FaceBook, it mght be a preference seting on YouTube.com for only viewing videos in HTML5 and not Flashplayer that is involved somehow.....

    YouTube stopped using Flash Player years ago. This 2012 question is no longer applicable.

    What happens when you try to watch the videos?  If you right click on the video area, do you get a Flash Player context menu to appear?

    No. Nothing happens. It's just a blank, black screen. It happens in Safari on YouTube ever since I installed the latest Flash Player update. I can view about 2 to 3 percent  of YouTube videos.
