This is what I see on the console screen (picture attached). I have Adblock Plus and a Youtube video downloader extension installed but disabling them doesn't fix the problem. Logging out of my Youtube account fixes the problem, but when I log back in the problem returns.

I also get these (see picture). I just don't understand why videos play fine when I'm not logged in, but have problems when I am.
