I just encountered this error when attempting to watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUSAl4f4RVw. Upon retrying after getting the error, the video loaded properly.

The crash log however was slightly different than what the OP encountered, so I'll be posting it here if it's needed for any reason.
