  • Every video or podcast stops and starts every second

    Any help would be appreiciated, using Chrome, Windows XP Pro with SP3, Pentium 4 2.4GHz, with 2GB Ram, with Nvidia Gforce 5200 video card! Too old a system??

    hi, all three are pretty much the same, and its not a buffering issue. I hav Verizon Fios and had a WUGNET speed test show download speed being 11.3 Mbps and upload of 1.24. It was possible the Html was slightly better but not by much.

    That should be fine for system specs.  My first guess would be network bandwidth issues.  Does it seem like the video/audio buffers fast enough or does the buffer continue to run out when the item is played? Try these two links out, do either of them play better? HTML5 videoNon-HTML5 video Thanks,Chris

  • When I watch youtube videos, it always stop and start. Very  annoying. Any good apps that we can use.

    YouTube videos always stop and start . Is there an apps that we can download to stabilize the video.

    Are you trying to watch YouTube from a web browser on iPad or from the YouTube app?
    Should be running fine from the YouTube app on the iPad unless you have a slow connection.
    Our family uses DSL (4-5 Mbps) and we stream video both with iPads, computers and TV with,mostly, no issues like buffering or data degradation/pixellation. It all depends on how much traffic there is on the Internet at any one specific time.
    Heavy Internet traffic on different days at different hours of the day, from your ISP, can also be a factor in slowing down your Internet connection.

  • While watching videos they keep stopping and starting

    Videos stop every 2-3seconds and may not start for 5 minutes

    I understand that on Firefox for Android that when playing videos, they stop and start.
    #Does this happen when you clear the cache and restart the browser?
    #What version of Android does this happen on?
    #Are there certain video files that this will happen for or a specific site?

  • Videos run intermitently; stop and start

    Videos do not run continuously. They stop and then start every few seconds. The same videos play fine on Internet Explorer.

    Reload the webpage while bypassing the cache

  • Why does my video's always stop and start?

    Can't listen or watch a movie because it keeps stopping & starting. Hoping to find a solution.

     Hi Trisha,
    You're welcome
    Try the following.
    First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
    Flash Player Uninstaller.
    When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller.  After this has completed, restart the notebook.
    Next, download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.  Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
    Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
    Launch Firefox and see if videos play Ok in this browser - if they do, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component.  When done, restart Internet Explorer.
    If you still get the loading problem, run a check on the speed of your internet connection using a site like the one on the link below, in case this is what's causing the problem.

  • Videos on YouTube stop and start

    Why do the videos I'm watching on YouTube pause every few seconds?

    Possibly because your local Internet connection isn't fast enough to download the video to your computer for real-time viewing. Does this happen at all times of the day and night, or only in the evening hours when Internet usage is heaviest?
    Or possibly because your computer is doing lots of other things at the same time. Does it happen when no apps are open besides your browser, and no other browser tabs or windows are open?

  • Safari video streaming constant stops and starts

    I don't remember having this problem in earlier versions of Safari. There is no smooth streaming. I have to wait and wait for bits of video to load. Any suggestions? Thx.

    It could be that your G4 is just too underpowered to view some "modern" Web pages.
    Many pages now display very large video files and they take a long time to download. If you have a very fast connection you may be getting the data fast enough but your CPU just can't properly display the content without some "hiccups".
    Wait until the entire file downloads (pause playback if it begins) to have a better viewing experience.

  • Why can I not watch a video all the way thru without it stopping and starting, & freezing?

    I like to go to abc or cbs pbs etc. and watch their videos but they do
    not run all the way thru. They stop and start and stop and start and
    freeze and start and quit.

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
    Some have reported that increasing the session store saving interval worked for them.<br />

  • TS4223 Why does video I downloaded from itunes keep stopping and starting?

    Why do the tv episodes I downloaded keep stopping and starting during playback?  I have downloaded tv shows from itunes before and had no problems?  What can I do to clear this up?

    How fast of a PC are you tryng to view these on?

  • Stops and starts in video streaming from iphone to tv using apple tv and airplay.Both devices have latest software and are capable.

    When try to stream content (specifically, videos from Acorn.com) to my TV through my apple TV from my iphone 5,The video  freezes, stops and starts continually, even though it is playing smoothly on the screen of my iphone.  both iphone, Apple TV  are capable models and have latest software updates.
    What's wrong here?

    Not necessarily, but right now you don't have a stable network and there are a lot of factors that can compromise that. I didn't say ethernet was the only option, again you can get a report of your network to see the status.  Would have to change things in order to strengthen the wifi signal (i.e. router location, channel,placement of ATV etc). I am running on wireless without issue, same as most users, and if you took it to a controlled environment (like Apple) you would see similar results.

  • Video playback stops and starts

    I've never had this problem before but since I wiped my 5th Gen (late 2006) iPod Video and put new content on it the video playback keeps freezing for a second and then continuing. Most of the time the audio keeps going but sometimes they both stop and start again. It's very annoying. I don't see anyone else in this forum complaining about this. Am I the only one?
    Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this?

  • Videos stopping and starting.

    YYou tube and sky go stopped working properly from one day to the next. The videos stop and start every two minutes. There is a spinning icon next to the wifi icon when this happens. Why?

    Well, ipad 1 has not got the best wifi. Your iPad may be lagging (because it's old) and can't cope with video playback. maybe it's time for a better ipad?
