        probably "youtube.com" is not enough for watching the videos. There are probably otgher servers which offer the content/videos. Check the access.log of squid when access the youtube.com web site and watching videos. Then add these URLs to your whitelist.

          Hi,

          First of all thanks for your replies, my problem is solved, it was following two lines in config http://fpaste.org/wKm7/

          request_body_max_size 20 KB
          reply_body_max_size 51200 deny all

          i changed this two lines & now youtube is working correctly.

          Thank You.
