Author Topic: Youtube Videos won't load/play  (Read 2234 times)

I've been having this problem for 3 days, I use Chrome. Certain youtube videos won't load like it'll keep with the loading bar, if I click it'll constantly bring up the pause screen and it also won't let me change quality.



This works on IE but it gives me a warning that adobe won't run on this computer.
Any suggestions?

I also might get firefox/waterfox if it won't work.

Firefox is the loving bomb if you are doing not so heavy things

I really need help on this.

Do you have Ghostery or some variant of it/similar add-on?

Or NoScript for that matter/Chrome version of it.

Like an extension to chrome? No, I only have Adblock and Stylish added. When going on Ie to watch some it says adobe flash player is not supported for this type of laptop. Though the video still plays.

I also have this problem on certain videos, and i use Firefox

Some videos will work when i try again later, but some won't work at all unless i view it from a different computer or something

http://www.youtube.com/html5

you could try the html 5 player if you're having issues with flash

as much as i hate chrome. it does run streaming better. for netflix or youtube, and especially lesser sites with stream content.

firefox is bulky ; ;

the thing is chrome opens so many processes of itself, that when I close a tab that's playing audio, it won't stop unless I kill the correct process that's playing audio. and basically that becomes a game of "cut the blue or red wire". this is a problem for watching videos

even though it doesn't happen all the time I've noticed it happens mostly when I have a lot of tabs open (~30 but that's the average amount I have open)

chrome is multiprocess, every extension runs on its own process too i think, so lets say flash or silverlight crashes, that process is the only thing to crash.  i think it's neat.
