U2K Tha Greate$t Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I go to watch a video, it stops about 5 seconds in the video, so i go to reload the page and the video plays at 144p or 240p, i change to 720 HD and the video stops loading, and eventually goes back to 144p. i was recently over at dailymotion because it had a better design and video play back was faster , but dailymotion seems dead, my guess because of the yahoo deal that didn't work out, kinda made the site dead. So i went back to using youtube and their crappy one channel design , lets face it Yt is the only site that is really popular, but what is up with the stupid video playback?Do i have to go back to using a old flash version or something. this is really annoying.

COKid Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Working just fine here. I think the problem is only affecting people in the Beverly Hills area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick H. Supervisor Posted August 20, 2013 Supervisor Share Posted August 20, 2013 Can't say that I'm noticing anything here. I just started playing a 10 minute video at 720p and it didn't stop at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACTIONpack Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The bottom of the bar on the flash video does not pop up when I rollover all the time. Don't know why it doing it. Sometime it stop playing after 90% of the video is finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But location is not the issue lol Intrinsica can you tell me your specs, and os and browser? If you are at hotel or one of the restaurants/bars, then it could be the problem because there are too many people are connecting to the hotspot wifi. If you are at home or at one of your friends, then it is your PC ... make sure to update your flash, graphic card driver, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corrosive23 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Your isp could be throttling YouTube. If other video sites worry k that could be why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phouchg Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Have had such problems with (what I think may have been the cause) unpopular (not much views or likes) videos. I remember reading that Youtube's CDNs show a preferential treatment for more popular stuff when under heavy load. Edit: perhaps I fixed it somehow in between, but basically I threw up papers in the air and waited it out. djdanster 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi-Wan Kenobi Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Mine has been stopping too...I'll be into a video, and it'll just stop playing, or freeze, forcing me to either run the video backwards using the slider bar near the play button area at the bottom of the video, or forcing me to refresh the page. VERY annoying, and it just started a few days ago. (Latest stable Chrome, which is updating now, hopefully fixes it...Windows 7 64-Bit, 4GB Ram, C2D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BajiRav Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I get a similar problem with Firefox + Flash on HD videos. Firefox just can't handle HD videos for some reason. IE11 works just fine. (Windows 8 at work and Windows 8.1 at home). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protocol7 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 It started for me a while back. Not sure if it was a Firefox or Flash player update. It keeps switching quality and the video jumps as a result unless I set a resolution at the start. Might be worth dropping back to an earlier Flash player (maybe 11.6 or earlier).

neufuse Veteran Posted August 20, 2013 Veteran Share Posted August 20, 2013 if your location doesn't match where you are, your ISP probably can't match you to the closest CDN (Content delivery network) that has an interconnect point with them... when this happens you get slow responses, harder to stream high bandwidth items... I've seen this a lot on Comcast when it thinks you are somewhere you aren't... has nothing to do with ISP throttleing usually, it's usually a bad peering point or CDN problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2K Tha Greate$t Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'm at home, using seamonkey, q6600 550 4gb ddr2 memory and win7 64. I'm just going to deal with it, the problem seems to be with youtube , ever since google took over the site has gone to crap anyway. , so i will just watch videos in 480 and 720 when i can. I'm not going back to daily motion because like i mention the site seem to have went dead within the past 2 months, even tho they do have the best quality and play back and design.

If you are at home in Las Vegas, then you should update your location under your display picture... which is why the users thought you live in Beverly Hills. Why don't you try Firefox, IE, Safari.. and see if the videos work well for you... if so, you can use one of those browsers for videos ... and you can use Seamonkey for everything else.
