How to Identify

1. Set Deafault Streaming Media policy to allow every option and only block 'generic site streams' 2. Save the settings 3. Open a browser and access www.youtube.com 4. Select a video 5. Videos shows without problem, while it should not be showing

Workaround / Fix Details

For the time being block the 'Streaming media' category. It will block the entire page, not only the video. This is due to changes in Youtube and is not something that can be changed.
