Youtube 1080p buffering issue

My iPad mini retina always buffers when playing a 1080p video on youtube but my nexus 7 2013 plays videos just fine in 1080p how do I fix this?

Yes I get the same issue on my iPad air with the YouTube app.
I'll be watching a YouTube video and every 30 seconds or so it will degrade to a lower quality for a few seconds, then the HD will come back on.
I have 160 Mbit internet and this does not happen on the desktop PC.
I loaded an alternative YouTube player onto my iPad and there was no such issue, so the problem is the official ipad app - its fantastic, but playback is poor recently, for some reason.
What I have noticed is that the video does not seam to load ahead at all, there is no grey bar loading the video ahead of playback anymore.
I think the app needs fixed.

Youtube app Buffering issues

Not entirely sure if this is the right place to ask this but....
So when I watch youtubes videos that longer than 5 minutes or so the youtube app is constantly trying to buffer. I have fast enough wifi I just did the ookla speedtest and my download speed is 56.84 mbps and my upload is 10.01 mbps so I don't think that's the issue.
The symptoms:
Whenever I watch average length youtube videos through the app (haven't tried through chrome or anything) the video is constantly combatting itself for video quality. I can watch a 10 minute youtube video and the video quality will hop around 240p to 1080p to 720p to 480p down 144p in a matter of seconds. The video will not pause but the quality jumps all the over the place throughout the entire video.
Kind of ruining the experience.
Also when I pause you can watch the buffer bar jump back and forth. Not buffered to ~30 seconds and back like bouncing back for instantly.
Hopefully I'm not crazy and this is happening to other people.
I have an ipad air 64gb version. Most updated version of youtoube app from May 8,2014

My ISP is cox. I just did another Ookla test through my desktop. Speed is still the same. I had a problem with a teaching website awhile back so I called their support and they had me run some other connection tests and they said that my signal was sporadic and that I wasn't my connection it was the signal coming from my ISP.
Youtube.com works fine through my ipad but the app is still buggy. The hard resest I did earlier brought everything back to normal for about a day then it jumped right back into the same routine. Netflix streams without any issues vimeo is fine too. I'm really starting to think it's just the app and people who are having trouble need to make it a known issue.
Also just read my original post and my grammar is ****...

Youtube App buffering issue?

Hello, my iPad Air (Wi-Fi only Model) has been having issues with the Youtube app recently, and I want to see if anyone else is having any issues. My issue comes down to the iPad Youtube app being unable to buffer certain videos. It's a really strange problem. This problem started about when 7.1.1 came out, I believe.
I will watch a 30 minute "Let's Play Minecraft" video from Rooster Teeth/Achievement Hunter at 720p without any issues. Then, watch a four (4) minute music video and throughout that short video, the quality will change from 720p to 240p and keeping changing throughout the video till it's over, but the video never stops playing.
I ran a speed test with the OOKLA speed test app. My ping is 21, with a Downoad rate of 39Mbps, and an Upload rate of 11.5Mbps.
Strange thing is, my iPhone 5 will play the videos that I have an issue with on my iPad, just fine.
So, is this an issue with the iPad Youtube app, or could something else be happening?
Thank you in advance!

Buffering issue with Youtube.

I'm having buffering issues with YouTube. I've cleared the cache in browser, cleared history, done a factory reset.
It's frustrating. Any insight would be appreciated.

Thank you for replying. I have a brand new router my connection is strong video grade connection. I've tried wifi at home at work,at my folks house same thing. It seemed to be happening after the update we recieved a month ago. I'm not sure though.

Apple TV buffering issues with iPhone 4s and iPad 2

Hi all,
I just got me an Apple TV 2nd gen (yeah, I know, ordered 2 days before the presentation of the new one). So far so good, the device is up and running, connects just fine to my Airport Express router and all.
However, if I try to stream a video from my iPad (2) or my iPhone (4S), the results are quite horriffic. The iPad videos would buffer for a very long time before they start and then quite fast after that the buffering problems restart. It's pretty impossible to play a video fluently of more than 20 seconds. If I'd try from my iPhone it's even worse with videos being 1080p, the thing just never plays, eventually the preloading process stops on the mirroring mode is cut.
I have to point out, all my devices are in the same room (WiFi) so the signal is the best it can be.
This is honestly quite surprising AND disappointing to be honest, given I bought the device mostly for that, so I can stream videos from my phone and pad.
Tell me, am I doing something wrong, or the video streaming over those devices is just a marketing gimmick with nothing real behind it?
Would it matter if I change my router from Airport express to Airport extreme?
Thanks!

I have the same issue with ATV3 and iPhone 4S. Everything works properly, no buffering issues when watching netflix, vimeo, youtube BUT when I try mirroring even a small 15sec iPhone movie it stutters and buffers and results to a choppy playback..same with larger mp4 files such as 1-1.5GB, buffers forever and never plays, I just re-encoded the same movie to 700MB and plays perfectly..
Why Apple, why?..so close..I can accept the bigger movie files issue, but not being able to playback properly an iPhone movie is funny..I recorded a movie with lower bitrate through Filmic Pro (Economy mode, up to 16Mbps)
and plays properly.
Is there an upcoming software update going to solve the problem or is it hardware related and therefore not fixable.
Please don't reply with a network related answer, by 2012 we know how to set up our networks and everything else runs flawlessly.
I'll apreciate a fast answer, we love Apple, but if it can't play an iphone movie (or a high quality movie from iTunes) it's just not up to my standards.
Thanks again.

Slow/choppy playback - cache buffering issue

On playback, PP6 randomly slows down and plays back choppy on visually complex shots. It takes repeated stops and starts to clear it out. I have troubleshot the life out of this, read every relevant thread, and tried everything imaginable to fix it. Windows 7 pro is fully optimized. There are no software conflicts (installed a drive with only windows and CS6) I’ve got plenty of horsepower - 3930K in an asusp9x79pro, gtx 670 w/4mb, 32mb ram, OC to 4.5. Eric Bowen at ADK has personally tuned the system and done a manual overclock. Memtest confirms the ram is fine. There are no hardware issues. Dropped frame indicator stays green, no dropped frames. Switching from hardware to software mercury playback does nothing. Rendering has no effect, nor do any playback settings. It happens with AVCHD and h.264 mp4’s as well, on short clips, not just long ones. It does not happen outside of ppro. Since I have eliminated hardware and software issues, all this leaves is Premiere.
As Eric explains it, it is a cache buffering issue, related to how the nvidia card and ppro interact, and he sees it frequently enough. I can't do his explanation justice, but he has offered to jump in and provide more detail if need be.
Whatever it is, it’s ridiculous. It is totally unacceptable to play down a sequence and have it intermittently slow down on a system with this much power that has been properly set up by a pro. It’s a shame, because it’s the only thing from keeping ppro/cs6 from being the best platform I’ve edited on in my 12 years as an editor.
I’ve filed a bug report, but gotten no response. If others are seeing it, and can file a bug report, maybe it will be publicly acknowledged and resolved.

Hi,
I think I have similair problem. First of all my current specs is:
Asus Sabertooth z77 mainboard with intel i7 2700K processor
32 gb (8*4) ram
120 gb ssd sata3 drive for OS and CS6
500 gb sata3 7200rpm hd for cache files
1 tb sata3 7200rpm hd for source video and audio
and finally Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti with 2gb of memory
Blackmagic shuttle io card etc
This system were combined specially for my endless highend compositing needs and it works like a charm with all applications other than Premiere Pro.
Yesterday I barley finished editing a short (approx 2 minutes) 1080p project that shot with Canon 5D MKII. Without using mercury playback engine application
works fine but once I activate it all playback became really slow and laggy and sometime it freeze if I move playhead quickly.
I only use one video and one audio track in timeline so we can say this editing scenario is a fundamental for production grade NLE application.
My graphic processor has a lot of cuda power but Adobe doesn't support it natively so I have to edit the famous text file.
On CS5 and CS5.5 I done lots of 1080p project with my old gtx 480 card and I never encountered any similair problem.
I hope my favorite and trusted software company Adobe will find the problem and will fix it soon...
Thanks

Apple TV (2nd gen) - Very Specific Buffering Issue

I have been watching the threads regularly for a situation similar to mine but I can't see one so I am starting a new one.
I have Four (4) Apple TVs in the house and a large library of movies, TV shows and personal movies loaded into iTunes on a Window 7 64 bit system with an Intel i7 processor, 12 GB of memory and 2TB of disk space. Everything seemed to work OK until I got the third Apple TV but that was a year ago and several software upgrades in the past.
My problem is that when all four (4) Apple TVs are plugged into power, even if the ones I am not using are asleep, I have horrible buffering delays when watching vidoes from iTunes on the Windows PC. I do not have any trouble streaming video from Netflix or the iTunes store directly. When the Apple TV stops to fill buffers it seems to lock up trying and never comes back (I have waited up to 30 minutes). However, if I exit out of the movie as soon as the buffering issue starts, and go back into the video where I left off - it starts playing again within 3 seconds and will carry on for another random period of time in the range of 2 minutes to 10 minutes.
Before anyone starts responding with the basic stock suggestions, I am a retired IT guy who has put a lot of time and technical effort into trying to find the root cause of this problem. I am very familiar with networking, Windows 7, firewalls, etc.
The work around is that when I want to watch videos from iTunes on my Windows PC I have to unplug the other three Apple TVs, restart my router and reboot my Windows PC. These three steps together work consistently but omitting any one step may or may not improve the situation. This means that I can't just decide to watch a video from iTunes without 10 minutes of advance prep work - and watching two different videos on two different Apple TVs at the same time only works about 30% of the time.
Here is some more background information:
I have two (2) iPhones, one (1) iPad, another Windows 7 64 bit PC, a MacBook Air, and stand alone Internet radio on my network. The problem persists even when all the other devices have been powered off.
All devices, including the Apple TVs, are running the most current version of software and have ALL patches installed.
I have upgraded my router (twice) and now have an ASUS RT-N56U dual band router with the Windows PCs both cable connected and the Apple TVs and all the other stuff running wireless.
I have used netstumbler to detect other networks and have tried various different channels on the router. I am in a low density area and only see two other neighbours with wireless networks.
I have a 20 MB Internet service connection via cable modem and have no problems watching videos on the Apple TVs from the Internet
I have relocated the router away from any other elecrical equipment (Apple TVs all show a full strength signal)
I have tried disabling my MacAfee Security Center virus and personal firewall software (the problem persists), then removing it entirely (the problem persists), then reinstalling only the virus protection component and enabling Windows Firewall (the problem persists).
I have removed all software from the Windows computer that brand name commercial software - I use Microsoft Office 2010 and Google Chrome as my browser (the problem persists).
Important - I have moved the complete iTunes library to a 2TB USB hard drive and run iTunes on my MacBook Air with the Windows PCs turned off (the problem persists).
There is one issue that seems relevant, but might just be a bug in the router management interface. I have set up reserved DHCP addresses for the Apple TVs and the computers to make it easier to identify devices when I am troubleshooting. The DHCP log shows the correct IP addresses being assigned to the correct MAC addresses but the network map screen frequently displays two or more Apple TVs with duplicate MAC addresses. It only happens with the Apple TVs and has never happened with anything else. This is what gave me the idea to turn off all Apple TVs except the one I want to watch and reset the router to clear the other addresses - which seems to be the only consistent way to watch an iTunes video without buffering problems.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have invested a lot of time and money in Apple technologies and setting up this home video strategy. It's very frustrating that it doesn't work reliably.
Thanks
Bob T

I too am having this issue were two of my Apple TVs are showing duplicate MAC Addresses. I have varrified this by looking at the arp -a cache on multiple machines. I believe this is a major bug in the Apple TV software. Can we please get a fix.

10.5.3: Clamshell mode and 1080p display issues fixed?

Has the clamshell mode issue and 1080p display issue been fixed in 10.5.3? Are you able to shut your laptop and use 1080p on an external monitor without the **** thing freaking out?

Me and hundreds like had the issue when we upgraded to 10.5.2. It is a known but bug that when you start up the system an external display wouldn't be recognized in calibrated profiles (only at 1440x900). A work around was to start up then close the door immediately or boot up without external display connected and connect when completed booted.
I was told by support in Jan that there would be a fix in the next release (10.5.3 I presumed), but after installing it I have the same problem and the release notes don't mention it as repaired.

Apple TV 3 Buffering Issues using Ethernet

I have an ATV3 that is connected via Ethernet with Comcast Xfinity. I have 30+ dl speeds but am constantly having problems with buffering It seems to be only movies bought through Apple. HBO, Showtime, ESPN, Netflx, etc. all seem to work with minimum buffering issues. I reset it, restored it, brought it in to Apple and received a new one and nothing seems to help. It is set on automatic for IP address, for DNS, and for video playback. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank, Tony

Those other services use adaptive streaming, iTunes content is fixed rate and needs to load a portion before playback begins. Comcast have been known to throttle iTunes/ATV traffic. Try testing on another network (preferably a controlled one like Apple's)

I'm having the same buffering issues that other users are having when I try to send a short video from my Iphone 4S to my Apple TV. Has anyone heard back from Apple on this bug ?

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

Apple tv serious buffering issues w/netflex shows

I'm trying to figure how to resolve buffering issues with netflex on my apple tv. I have checked my uploand/download speed and it's running at 35/35 and can watch netflex on my computer that is wireless. I have 1 apple tv that is wireless and the other is plugged into network and still have the same problem that it is buffering every few minutes. Then sometimes it does'nt have to buffer at all and runs like a champ. Please help! this is very frustrating.

Use Google’s Public DNS Server To Fix Apple TV Streaming Problems
1. Navigate to Settings >> General >> Network and select Configure TCP/IP.
2. Select “Manually” next to Configure IP.
3. Dont change the IP address or the Subnet Mask and Router Address. Just click "Done".
4. Set the DNS Address screen with the following: 008.008.008.008 and click “Done.”
You should now be able to stream more smoothly on your Apple TV.
If this works for you, please buy a cup of coffee for a complete stranger or some other selfless, random act of kindness.

How is it my Mac computer next to my apple tv gets 25 Mbps and my apple tv has buffering issues?

Does anyone have a problem where their Mac and Apple are co-located and the computer, via WiFi, receives 25 Mbps and the Apple TV has HUGE buffering problems?
I like Apple products, but am frankly tired of the buffering issues with the Apple TV. When I test the network in the Apple TV, I never see, or don't know where to look, what the Apple TV streaming rate is at the time, just says "done".
Appreciate anyone thoughts; hate to go to Ruku, but am just about done with the Apple TV's that we've purchased.
Thanks.

Was the speed verified using speedtest.net?
Is the issue occuring on specific content? At specific times?
The network test is useless, if you want to see a report of your network and check for interference use istumbler.net
Make sure your DNS is set to the ISPs (settings - general - network - configure DNS - automatic)

Still Getting Buffering Issues and Slow Web Page L...

Since I suspect this issue hasn't gone away - and I/we have been asked to post issues individually rather than clumping into a single tread.
I just got back from Spain and after quizzing family it seems we are still getting Stream Buffering Issues (again) (requires a refresh restart << I suspect lost packets rather than speed decrease) and webpages sometimes don't load correctly and require a refresh to load all page elements.
Just before I left there was an Openreach engineer working on the CAB and my noise margin doubled (but given my distance from the CAB and no speed issues I think the higher margin is a bonus not a negative << so hard to get uncontradictary posts or guidance on the web about Noise Margins - speeds still ok atm according to BTW but havent been back long enough to monitor thru the day/night.
I can only assume there are still backhaul issues ongoing.
I notice other ISP forums eg Plusnet noting capacity contention issues but BT remains Silent.
It's such a shame BT aren't more forthcoming to their customers and I feel really cheated/mis-sold by the whole Infinity 2 product 'never have to buffer again' - advertising hype. This has been a problem here since mid December - so we're talking a month worth of connection issues.
Since someone will probably ask me for HH stats - here you go - apologies to all those more than 20m from the CAB who are struggling on much slower speeds (I feel for you honest) and in terms of the available speeds etc feel this HAS TO BE a BTW backhaul issue - be it from exchange or in the core.
I'm all open to comment/solutions

Short answer Ray - nope I only use WiFi on the phone.
Well for the benefit of others as much as myself I am still having issues and gave up on an iPlayer (live stream) due several bursts of buffering again tonight which made me miss the bits I was really interested in.
So...
Eliminating anything in the home the following tests are done directly into the HH5s Gb port. I normally use a switch in this port to seperate my PC's from iThings and anything else on WiFi (the kids)(BTFon/X) - never had any issues with my switch tho and it will push pull files to/from my NAS or transfer files around my three PCs at full speed << so no concerns there, but NOT used in these tests.
All wired with industry Grade CAT6 << even ran a checker tool on it and no probs << yip I have such things available.
Following Stats are after a complete shut down :
PC Restarted without Firewall or any AntiVirus - no other network connections active and HH5 WiFi Dissabled. HH5 Power Off and Factory Reset (I've tried previously as suggested by other posters using the Openreach modem but since it didnt solve anything just went back to the HH5 to save a power socket and my HH5 can stay up for 13 or so days without issues so I don't suffer in disconnection issues dept). Ok i could buy another router but I doubt its the problem and im just **bleep** away cash for what would then be a replacement for 'not fit for purpose' supplied equipment.
Quiet Line test = clear << tested master socket with wired phone.
My Cabinet :
BTWholesale Speed Test :
Interestingly i'm getting way lower UPLOAD than the minimum even on an impaired line (I'm only about 20m from the cabinet as the cable runs - less if I want to kick it) << this does seem to fluctate a lot.
TBB Speedtest :
I'm open to suggestions but have just about had enuff...
I still maintain this is a congeston issue but that BT are in total denial to customers about what traffic shaping occurs to maintain the QoS for their YouView and BTSports Customers at the expense of other data under 'abnormal conditions' like lack of capacity.
So unless a MOD wants to jump in and resolve this quickly, I have several letters ready to go to various parts of BT - Customer Complaints/Sales(for misleading claims)/and Legal Dept. Just need the stamps + a cc copy to Ofcom. This is the last phase of having done ALL I CAN BE REASONABLY EXPECTED TO DO through the BTs compaints proceedures. so that I can send a breach of contract notification to escape this madness.
Yours xx, a very dissatisfied customer.

UWL Columns Lay Out - Buffering Issue

Hi All.
I have a weird buffering issue in UWL.
I removed non required UWL tabs and UWL features. My UWL now looks very slim.
It's only contains single "Tasks" tab without any fancy WF features.
In terms of column, it's have: subject, from, sent, priority, attachment and completed date
When user login into UWL, columns displayed as: subject, priority, Recipients, attachment and alerttitle.
It is different from what I configured.
To get into required columns, user have to click on "Show", select "Completed Tasks" and back, select "New and In Progress Tasks". Once user perform this sequence then the columns layout displayed as per UWL configuration.
Sounds like buffering issue for me.
Any body out there have similar issue and know how to solve it?
Thanks

Hi,
Clear the cache
>UWL> UWL admin> cache admin
then try the same.
Hopefully it should work
Thanks

Flv player buffering issue

Hi Everyone....!
In my flv player,all the functionalities are well.But,one thing is,when player buffering the video,it will automatically taggled into paused state.After buffered full video completely,then only start playing.I was given buffering time=0.1.
My solution::::;
By using the setInterval,Every minutes monitoring the loadedBytes.If loaded bytes increased 300Kb(hardcode) compared to previous loaded bytes,I will play() the video manually.
videoMc.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PAUSED_STATE_ENTERED,pausedEntered);
function pausedEntered(Evt:VideoEvent):void {
var setInter=setInterval(checkBytestLoaded,1000)
function checkBytestLoaded():void {
var cl:Number=videoMc.bytesLoaded/1000
if (cl>(CurrLoading+300)) {
videoMc.play();
preLoadMc.visible=false;
CurrLoading=videoMc.bytesLoaded/1000;
/==================================
It was Ok for buffering issues.But,i cannot differentiate for both(Manually pressed the pause button and automatically paused due to buffering issue).If manually pressed the pause button ,video did'nt play due to above coding.
Now i m waiting for ur solution.Atleast any one!!!
whether the buffering issues or how to find manually pause button pressed "pause state".?.
thanks in advance...............(sorry for poor English)

Is that the net stream class using actionscript to assign the source? or import fl.video.*? All i did was import the video into flash and used action script to stop playing the video when a button is clicked. As far as video control that is. Is there an entire method of assigning the source of the video that i am unaware? If so can you point me in the direction and I'll learn it. Thanks again you have been very helpful.
