Occasional problem with YouTube on desktop Windows (sound, app, loading)

On some videos, the image will be all black but the sound will be normal. Never seen that happen before.
If I play some other videos normally and go back to the problem one, it will be okay.

It only seems to happen with videos posted by this one place:

Have you seen this happen? Reload doesn't help. I have to watch the other videos and then go back to the first one.

I have Windows 7 and the latest Chrome. And I just updated Chrome.

Wait, it just happened with this one:

This time I resolved it just by reloading it.

I found the solution. I turned off AdBlock for youtube.

But why would Adblock do that in the first place?

Try uBlock Origin to block Youtube ads. It's easier on system resources and doesn't have the type of behavior your are dealing with. I had the same issue with ABP.
