Youtube video freezes at 11 seconds

Before the latest update of Firefix (I now have 15), YouTube & other sites played videos fine. Now, these videos only play 3-11 seconds before freezing l) i update all my plugins also tried re install real player also not work

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
[[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
[[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
[[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

Youtube videos freeze after a certain amount of time, but audio continues.

As it says in the title, most Youtube videos freeze after a certain amount of time for me, but the audio continues.
Happens on Firefox, IE and Chrome

This happens mostly because of obsolate drivers.

I updated ipod.. videos freeze at 30 seconds! i return my ipod.. i do well?

i have a 60gb 5 generation ipod! and when i updated to the evrsion, the large videos freeze at 30 seconds! i restore the older updated and now works fine! anyway, my ipod is on warranty and i return the ipod ton the service centre for repair or send me one new!
my question is.... i do well? i mean, will send my ipod to apple and send me one new, or mine reapired make my ipod go worst than now? :-s!

Apple won't send you a new iPod since (as you said in your post), the iPod now works fine.
It seems you've fallen victim to the 'bug' that afflicts some 60GB iPods after updating to software version 1.1. The cure, as reported here many times on the boards, is to revert to version 1.0 (as you have done), and await a newer updater that contains a fix.
Aside from that, there's nothing more you can do.

Youtube videos stop at 14 seconds?

Hi, whenever I try to play a youtube video in Firefox, it plays fine then just freezes at 14 seconds. This only happens in Firefox. I have the latest Flash Player.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Video freezes every few seconds

My new iPad video playback freezes every few seconds. I have a decentish Internet speed (2.3MB) and have turned all apps off and even reset. Any ideas?

Does it always take a long time to buffer the video? Can take several minutes for a video of the same length.

Why do youtube videos freeze

I upgraded My PC HP D530 mtc To 4GB Corsair Memory Ram & also upgraded from Win Xp Pro To Win 7 Ultimate And Last Of All I Upgraded My Graphic's Card To 512mb Nvidia Geforce 6200. I Have Defraged My Pc Etc,But My Pc Seems To Take Ages To Open Next Page & Also Youtube Video's Keep Buffering And Also Freeze. I Would Be Highly Greatful If You Can Help Me Pls. Thank You

Hello Promusicman,
You specifically mention Youtube videos is that the only website that freezes. What if you watch videos on other websites such as break.com do they freeze there as well.
Youtube also sometimes defaults itself to high definition videos which does take more bandwith to watch, if you watch in a lower quality does it still take a long time?

Youtube videos freeze, audio keeps playing. As long as I keep moving my cursor, it play ok. What's wrong?

This seems to happen on all Youtube video's I play. I don't know about other videos because I seldom view any others. When the video freeze happens the download bar is always ahead of the play bar so I don't think download is the problem. However, when the freeze happens, the download bar stops moving. When the play bar catches up to the download bar, the audio stops also. If I move my cursor, the video and audio start playing again. As long as I keep my cursor moving, the video plays fine. I am using Firefox 18.0.1. Computer is an HP dv6-1350us with dual processors. OS is Windows 7. I also use Chrome at times and the freeze doesn't happen on Chrome.

hello vearlbible, maybe it's an issue with the protected mode in the flash plugin - please go trough the troubleshooting steps provided in the following help document by adobe: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071
or as an alternative you could try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-crashes#w_solution-2-downgrade-to-flash-10-3 downgrading to flash 10.3] (which is still supported) & see if this solves the issue.

Update your iPod with the latest iPod Updater. This is a widely known glitch, and has been fixed with that updater.

Youtube videos freezing when trying to watch, hibernate problem. Brand new Lion install

Hello,
I have just reinstalled Lion from the recovery partition, straight Lion install so no Snow Leopard to Lion upgrade.
I have carried out all software updates etc. However, when I attempt to watch videos on youtube the player freezes my page and it fails to load. I have also experienced problems going fullscreen. I use safari and not a third party browser.
I have a 2.4ghz Core i5, with 4gb ram and a 10mbps broadband connection, so can't really see this being a performance issue.
The laptop should still be under Applecare so if needs be it is an option, but if I can get this is something quick and easy to fix then that would be ideal.
Also it might be worth to note that sometimes the laptop has problems coming out of a sleeping state, the keyboard will light up and I can see a very dark picture on my screen if I concentrate, the only way I can recover from this is to hold the power button to turn it off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, these problems have been driving me insane!

Most YouTube videos require the Flash plugin. Try troubleshooting ..
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin first before re installing.
Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
Also it might be worth to note that sometimes the laptop has problems coming out of a sleeping state, the keyboard will light up and I can see a very dark picture on my screen
Try resetting the Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Doubtful the Flash issue is related to sleep mode.

Youtube videos freezing

My older MAcbook Air has been having problems seeing Youtube videos and others. They start normally, but hang after about 2 minutes. Not just buffering. They spontaneously unfreeze after about 4 minutes. Thanks!

reinstall your Adobe flashplayer plugin

If conventional videos show FINE on Quicktime and VLC the issue is either your connection or flash plugin, or corrupt browser

Flash-Based BBC h264 Videos Freeze After 8 Seconds

Hello,
I like to view BBC news videos since March on my new Desktop Windows 7 64 bit Pro system. For about 2 weeks now, I've been having trouble viewing about half of these videos. Half play all the way through fine and the other half freeze after 8-10 seconds. I have a CAT 5e 7 mbit cable modem connection so speed is not an issue. My Wi-Fi connected Windows 7 Home Premium laptop uses the same router and can play the same videos with no problems.
On my Desktop, this freezing happens on both FireFox 12 and Internet Explorer 9. I did all the usual things to try to fix the problem. I cleared the caches on both FF12 and IE9. Yesterday, I uninstalled both the Adobe Flash FF12 plug-in and IE9 Active-X versions and reinstalled with the latest version, 11,3,300,262. Today, I upgraded to the latest version, 11,3,300,265. Nothing has solved the problem.
Here are the specs for the BBC Flash-based player:
Problem Videos:

The only difference I noticed was the initial screen size of the video. On the problem videos, the size is bigger than the OK one. I assume the BBC videos are h264 encoded. On both my Desktop and my laptop, I have 2 msmpeg2vdec.dll files. 1 in C:\Windows\System32 and another in C:\Windows\SysWOW64. They are both v6.1.7140.0. On both my Desktop and laptop, the sizes are different, 2.52 MB & 2.03 MB.
I am using the latest nVidia driver v301.42 which I installed 5/30/2012, over a month ago. The only recent change which happened to my system on 7/4/2012 was my Norton Internet Security 2012 subscription expired. NIS2012 then disabled itself and activated the built-in Windows firewall. 3 days ago I uninstalled NIS2012. I also used the Norton Removal Tool. I then installed a new NIS2012 with a new legitimate key. However, I am still getting this freezing and I don't remember if I got this freezing before 7/4/2012.
On both FF12 and IE9, I can play Hulu, YouTube, Yahoo!, and Amazon videos with no problems. When you right-click on any of these other flash players, nowhere does it say "h264."
My questions are:
1) does the Adobe Flash Player, for both the FF12 plug-in and IE9 ax players, use the Windows7 CODEC?
2) Which file is the h264 CODEC, is it msmpeg2vdec.dll or something else?
3) Will installing a new CODEC pack fix this problem?
4) Is there anything else I have overlooked? Is there anything else I can do to fix this problem?
Thanks.

Interestingly, the advertisement plays correctly. When you right-click on the ad, it does not say h264. I have 2 video cards and several monitors on my Desktop. It might have something to do with that. Otherwise, perhaps one of my other apps did something to the Flash Player h264 playback.
I'm thinking maybe if I upgraded the h264 CODEC, maybe it will play correctly again. CODEC GUIDE has a codec package which I already downloaded but haven't installed yet. I downloaded the "Basic." Unless you really need to, I don't recommend anyone install it. If you want to install a CODEC package, just install the "Basic" package and not one of the bigger packages. I think they make changes to your system. Before installing it, be sure to make a full backup of your Windows system.

Youtube videos freeze after a certain point and can't be played

Every time I get on Youtube I can watch up to like 30 seconds of a video and then it freezes and I can't play. I've cleared my cache, I've checked for updates, I've restarted the computer etc. Its not my computer I know because when I use Chrome the videos work.

Youtube videos freeze on iphone 4

When I try to view videos using the built-in YouTube app they play for a few seconds and then freeze, repeatedly. I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.3. Any suggestions?

Thanks, I don't know why I didn't think of resetting it--that usually helps with problems like this. and it worked for this one too.
