what is the problem?
We are experiencing the same issue. Looks like it's a fault at YouTube's end as it also fails on their demo pages when using the AS3 Chromeless player (https://developers.google.com/youtube/youtube_player_demo).
We have not discovered a workaround yet.
Same problem here - all youtube videos can not be played with JW player.
Did youtube.com changed something?
Youtube had hang I suppose, just right now everything got back to normal
youtube videos are not playable using jwplayer, tested and restested with 3 different versions of jwplayer no way, also not working here:

seems to work again....
Something must have changed on YouTube’s end, looks like they have fixed it.

@Ethan:
Looks like Youtube renamed the apiplayer ...

How to fix it !
Same problem. My guess is that youtube did something for the cookie law in Europe. I solved the problem for now with:
jwplayer('container').setup({
height:'250',
width:'444',
modes: [
{ type: 'flash', src: 'http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/E8Z_CyiewTo?version=3&hl=nl_NL&rel=0;&autoplay=1"' },
{ type: 'html5'}
], file: 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8Z_CyiewTo'
});
working now!
Seems to work as normal again - although I see an HD toggle button now in the upper right corner.
YouTube updated something on their end, and they fixed it, it seems…
I experienced this problem as well (on 29th November) and wasted a lot of time trying to find what I had done wrong until I spotted that the Long Tail demo also failed to work. However I was able to make my page work again by adding a parameter to the file specification
'file': 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxx,
became
'file': 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxx&feature=player_embedded',
and it all worked again. It is possible that this was coincidence and that youtube fixed something while I was struggling with the problem but I am fairly sure that the problem still existed for links without the &feature=player_embedded parameter. I have checked today and my player works with and without the extra value. I will leave it there in case it happens again.
It looks like Youtube did this, thanks for sharing, though.
