Youtube issues

[blair]

Anyone getting issues with youtube when watching a video it randomly stops and you have to keep refreshing the page to get it to work again it does it on multiple browsers and on 4 different PC's i have in my house.

I have the same issue. I have no idea why that happens, but it is not your fault. It is just poor programming and whatnot from youtube. I also have the problem that some vids do not load at all. I have about 1,5MB/s download and sometimes the video does not start playing, even on 240p.

Nothing you can do about that really..

Its freaking annoying trying to watch reviews and stuff it been going on for over a week thought google would have sorted it.

No issues for me. You can probably right-click stop download and click play again to avoid refreshing.

does not work for me because the vid still does not load at all. if i then check my network usage it says 1,5 kb/s down.

Only happens to me on my 32bit laptop when it is using a wireless connection. Probably a coincidence as well, but it seems fine when I use opera as opposed to my normal browser (firefox).

I'd go with the poor programing explanation.

Seems to be something that comes and goes,one week its fine,the next its buggered.

Buffering is fine for me, but I had a problem where I couldn't seek when watching the video in HD. There is a command prompt floating somewhere on the internet that adds a Firewall exception that I did, made buffering much faster.

Like this?

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Slow_YT_Servers" dir=out action=block remoteip=173.194.55.0/24,206.111.0.0/16 enable=yes

Open the Command Prompt with Admin rights,
paste it in and hit enter

To reverse, use this:

netsh advfirewall firewall delete rule name="Slow_YT_Server"
