Sorry this web filter profile

Not sure what you have in the Destination Address 'Allow_youtube' but what I'd do is create a copy of your default policy, then create a custom Web Filter profile for the one user with a static URL filter set to allow *.youtube.com. Possibly also an Application Control filter doing the same thing.

FWIW

 

You could use a ID-policy and give the users access for whatever sites. In the long run this approach is better than trying to bind to ipv4 address or hostnames.

I'm pretty sure my suggestion above would work for the one user or even a group of users if you needed to add more. If I'm reading it correctly, emnoc's suggestion is very similar. Basically create a new policy for the user and allow Youtube as a domain or application, it may use many IP's which is why you aren't seeing videos play even though you have access to the site itself.
