Youtube muting Music Videos - SESAC dispute

Noticed last night that some music videos (originating from Youtube) went mute while playing.

Youtube users will likely see a black screen with error message, or simply the loss of sound.

If video plays but sound is lost, try just a "quick" rewind or fast forward to restore sound. (workaround, for now, until discovered).

Looks like this stems from a Youtube - SESAC dispute and some copyright haggling.

There is nothing wrong with your Roku. Just Youtube being Youtube.

Of course, only the United States is subject to SESAC, so users outside the United States should not be affected.
