Yes, It is YouTube - Hey Shona-Saif Ali Khan,Rani Mukherjee~High Definition Video.
It used to play fine but since i updated to latest MP version, i am seeing the same issue happening to many of the videos.

Sorry didn't really have the time to test this, I made many changes with Youtube and the plugin in general. So if you can still reproduce the error in the upcoming 0.18, I'll commit myself to figure this out.

Those errors are from the HTPCInfo plugin, aren't they? Have a look at https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...7/htpcinfo-plugin-mediaportal-v0-9-1-a-68791/ and see if you can't get rid of them (or just disable it as a test).

Looks like this error is the culprit.
2010-03-20 15:07:57.046875 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: d3dapp: An error occured in OnResize - System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Or format=35 is the problem. I think it is a new format.
http://youtube.com/get_video?video_...2jrbsF7fA141ovLCxiUBpr6oKLLU=&fmt=35&ext=.flv media:Video
Nevermind guys i think i go it to play. My bad.. I had disabled the H.264 codec in FFDshow. After enabling, able to play.....
Testing more and will mark this Fix.
Ok i see what was happening. When i tried to play High quality or HD videos from youtube, it was using FFdshow H.264 filter. It doesn't seem to use GPU HW acceleration (on NVidia 8400 GTS). So it ends up using my CPU which is Sempron and causes the glitchy video playback. So i disabled H.264 in ffdshow and tried playing (not sure which codec being used though). It did played back couple of videos (All with format=34) and always stop on Format=35. It does identify Audio and enabled decoder which i could see from my receiver signals.
I have been successfully using HW acceleration for local H.264 videos using MPC-HC. I think i need some expert feedback how to enable either
1. ffdShow to use Graphics HW acceleration for H.264 Or
2. any other codec for you tube video playback which uses Graphics HW acceleration.
