flash videos only play for 2 seconds in youtube, google video
 |
Hello,
I have this problem a very long time. Whenever I try to watch a video on youtube or google video or sites like these, the video plays only for two seconds and then picture freezes. On the other I always notice that the video loads normally and completely 100%. I can even move to another part of the video and then it just plays again for two seconds and freezes again. I tried playing with the global and site memory setting that flash player use to store content but I didn't manage to get over this problem (even gave unlimited memory storage).
Does anyone know about this problem?
Thanks.

This sounds like a setting.
Or it may be that you have a hobbled trial version of the player (in which case, you have to BUY the full version).

Another possibility is that your ISP has lawsuitophobia and is blocking full content of what might be "pirated copyrighted material".

Posting Whiz in Training
I reinstalled the latest version of the Adobe Flash player and then restarted the computer. Problem went away after that when I had the same issue last week.
It is very important to read this: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
hey guys, same problem, no solution, as for the "assume you've got the latest pc" my pc is spankin... 8800gts, 2GB low latency ram... yada yada yada... all the twizzles.
the problem is this, youtube is the main culprit i've seen, the videos load for two seconds, wait for a minute thirty seconds, load another two seconds, wait for another minute... it's rediculous. it's not download speeds, because i could open a new tab with another video, and have it play no problem... and i do mean that, it will play without the need to buffer... i'm on 1 meg,and it's slow at the best of times, but i've heard of people in my area on 8meg, with the same problem... loading two seconds, loading two seconds...
youtube dont seem to want to know, and it's not in any FAQ's.
it's always exactly 2 seconds. and if i come back tomorrow, the same video may not be affected. 'm getting only aprox a 45% hit rate with the video's i want to watch, (on youtube)
other websites are not affected.
i've heard reports of people finding faults on ISP's AOL VIRGIN, TISCALI,
I.E, firefox, and AOL, browsers.
if anyone has the fix... POST POST POST!!!

Check your internet cache size. If it is smaller than the video, the video will be presented in spurts.
It also might be your ISP that is limiting the packet size to two seconds. Maybe the ISP is overloaded with traffic.
It is also possible that the internet trunk lines between your ISP and the rest of the internet are too small for the demanded traffic.
One final possibility is that too many people are requesting the same video.
