Google is testing a new experimental desktop player for YouTube. The HTML5 player features a transparent control bar that hides when you're not using it.
Here's how you can try it out yourself.
● While using Chrome, click here to open YouTube to a video. Don't forget to subscribe to iClarified's channel while you're there :)
● Right-Click or Control-Click on the webpage and choose Inspect Element from the popup.
● Choose Console from the inspector window that appears.
● Enter the following command into the console document.cookie="VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=Q06SngRDTGA";
● Refresh the page

What they need to do is fix the playback. Since yesterday, I didn't receive a bad update but after being on the latest version for a while, I try to make video play but is stuck buffering, yes I got good wifi signal and quality support, but wtf is happening?
While browing in a private window, I got the new transparent player in Safari, however when I was watching the same video on the normal window i got the old player and I can't understand why..
