What would cause this problem - videos not playing correctly

[jbrown]

I am having trouble with viewing video content.

This happens with embedded videos - or watching Youtube directly.

The video starts to load - I have a black video window with a spinning progress circle in the middle.

The time counter on the bottom bar will count the seconds " 1, 2 , 3 ,4 ..."

And when it gets to around 4 it will snap back to zero.

Then repeat.


Any ideas?

As far as I know I have the latest version of Flash installed.

Many thanks

What browser are you using? Disable the plugins and try it again. Or try a different browser.

I'm using Safari.

I've never used plug-ins...and as far as I know don't have any....

Here is what I see:

For Flash-related issues:

• Find your Flash version and make sure it's the latest version available. Never install or update Flash from a pop-up on a website. Always go to Adobe's site to get Flash or updates.
• Install ClickToFlash (Safari), Flashblock (Firefox) or FlashBlock (Chrome) to control which Flash content plays on websites.
• Try using the YouTube HTML5 Video Player to watch YouTube videos, when available. (May impact fullscreen viewing. See link for details.) As far as performance impact, YMMV.

Also, you may have better success in attracting responses to your thread, and you'll make your thread easier to find for those browsing the forum for the same answers, if you change your thread title to something more descriptive. To do so, click the "Edit" button on your original post, then click "Go Advanced" and you will see where to edit the thread title.

Did you try the HTML5 trial?

Try a different browser. Basic troubleshooting step #1...

Works fine in Firefox and also in Chrome.

So whats the fix - I don't really want to switch browsers if possible.


" Did you try the HTML5 trial? "

Didn't seem to work
