Youtube videos load slow in FF & Chrome, but fine in IE.

So my problem is that Youtube videos load in a very choppy way in Firefox and Chrome, first 15 seconds load, then there's a long pause, before next 15 or so seconds are loaded. However, they load smoothly on Internet Explorer. I've reinstalled browsers and Flash, tried disabling HW acceleration, all to no avail.

It seems to me that you should not need padding if the bottom image is 'pasted' to the bottom of the menu. If the bottom div is the same size as the image, you also don't need to say "background-position: bottom;" You know that it is the 'bottom' of the menu visually. The div doesn't care where it is...it's probable that the padding is pushing the image right out of the picture (so to speak).
I don't see the bottom padding on the markup, anyway. Are the image you are presenting corresponding to the code you pasted in? By the way, seeing code pasted in is not as good as seeing the page and code in situ...by getting a link for it.

Before I updated to Lion I could wacth videos on YouTube on HD quality with no problems, but since I updated some video take forever to load when on HD and I have to lower the quality for them to play witout stopping every couple of seconds. Any body else have this problem or know a fix for it? I ran disk ultity permission check and it found no problems with my HD.

Embedded youtube videos load on all other browsers but not Firefox

I have embedded youtube videos into a website...
They work on ALL OTHER BROWSERS but not on Mozilla Firefox.
I have tried:
1. Clearing cache & cookies and using Safe Mode.
2. 18 different computers running Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac OSX, Linux Ubuntu 12.10 and Fedora 16.
3. Using old embed code instead of iframe.
4. Loading HTML5 works but Firefox cannot fullscreen (still under youtube development)
5. Redoing site from scratch.
Code is as follows, note middle video is old youtube code: http://pastebin.com/T3w09bqW
Picture of problem: http://i.stack.imgur.com/rJjyu.png

Good point. When I insert that snippet of code in a new page, it runs for me. (Except that the first one says the frame is too small.) Does this work for you? http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/yt/941211.html

.flv videos load slow. Can it be sped up?

I have four videos on a page that two of them load
imediately. The other two take about five minutes to load. Is there
a way to make them all load at the same time?
By the way. The videos all load faster in FireFox. The videos
load slow IE, which I think is what most people tend to use.
http://www.liquidfirefishing.com/videos.html
Also, if anyone can tell me how enable a full screen button.
Thanks in advance.

there is no way to control the 'speed' of the DL - however
you may be able to 'stream' the video - in this way it will only
pause until properly buffered and then begin playback.

YouTube videos load so slow compared to other browsers

YouTube videos are completely downloading in memory from the start, slowing down the PC a great deal.
So if I try to watch a 20-min 1080p video, I have to wait ~20-30 secs to load completely in the memory. Only after that can I watch it without the PC freezing completely.
How can I get back to the original functionality, where the videos were downloaded incrementally as you watched them?
My setup is: Intel Core2Duo 2.2, 3.2 GB RAM 800MHz, ATI Radeon HD 5670 w/1GB memory, 100Mbit broadband (~8-10 MB/s with youtube servers)
However, Chrome for example loads flawlessly with almost no lag. But I love Firefox and don't want to switch to anything else...
Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks in advance,
Nicolae

Hello,
Thanks jscher2000 and cor-el for the support.
I disabled all the plugins beside Shockwave Flash, still the YouTube videos freeze the PC until completely loaded, eating 100% of my CPU.
My only Add-ons now (when I re-enabled them) are:
* Shockwave Flash
* Adobe PDF
* Google Update
* JRE 7u7
* App Button Color
* Firebug
* Live HTTP Headers
However, I noticed a few more things:
* The Firefox PC-freezing occurs mostly on high-resolution videos (1080p)
* Chrome puts his video download/processing thread on a lower priority somehow, so the CPU is at 100% too, but the other programs (including the video stream itself) are not affected
* Putting Firefox and Chrome side-by-side with the same video stream, 1 real-life minute will allow Firefox to play ~1:02 min of YouTube video, while Chrome remains at ~0:58.
I also attached a screenshot of my PC streaming on both browsers, maybe that will help anyone.
Thanks again for all your support,
Nicolae

Why are YouTube videos so slow to load?

Hi Gang,
I've been greatly enjoying the Pismo I totally revamped with help from JPL and Cornelius. It's now faster than my G4 12". But Youtube videos are painfully slow to load. If they finally do load, the motion is usually quite jerky and out of sync. Just tried three different videos on the Salon site and none of them would load. This is not the case with other videos (QuickTime or RealPlayer). Is this a hardware, software or site problem, and is there anything I can do about it? Thanks for any insight you can give.

GB:
I am able to watch streaming video on my Pismo, but I can't be doing much else on the computer. However, I don't do YouTube and I don't know how that will work. But I do watch news clips or streaming video from CNN, for example. I watch it the default size, and it is fine, with a little problem with video/sound synchronization. Streaming video works a lot better for me with Real Play, though. Almost perfect even with their max size. That is true even on my wife's Pismo with a regular 500 MHz processor and 640 MB of RAM.
I agree with Jon and jpl on the video card limitation. To the best of my knowledge it can not be upgraded.
Cheers
cornelius

Youtube videos VERY slow to load

Has any one else out there had a problem with getting youtube videos to load. My desktop downloads youtube videos in Miliseconds, while the apple tv takes two minutes to download the same thing! We are all wired up, so no wireless problems. Podcasts and movies stream very quickly, just a problem with youtube. Does any one know if the videos are directly downloaded from youtube or do they go through apple servers of some type? I am flustered. Already returned one unit to the store for an exchange.
HELP!

I worked with fuji master on this issue and have resolved it, sort of... Fuji's original 160GB AppleTV exhibited the symptom he described on several different WAN connections, although all were Portland Comcast.
Surprisingly, every 160GB (shipped with take 2) unit we tried had the same symptom but the 40GB models operated perfectly (on the same LAN and WAN). The 40GB was running the same version of the take 2 firmware as the 160GBs and all had been restored prior to testing. I am at a loss to explain how this could be a hardware-specific issue with YouTube, but my best guess is that some incompatibility existed between 160GB AppleTVs and YouTube.
Today, we configured and tested a new 160GB AppleTV (a firmware update occurred since previous testing) on the same network and YouTube loaded and operated normally.

Youtube videos load slowly

hello I have a 13inch macbook pro running 10.8 and youtube videos buffer very slowly. I have an 18mb Internet connection and netflix, vimeo, and all other downloads happen at that speed. I have tried changeimg my dns server multiple times but still no luck. I have also uninstalled flash and reinstalled flash. It has been doing this for 3 or 4 months. Any suggestions?

Same here. My iPad connects fine with any WiFi I use it on and speed is pretty good. But the Youtube app seems to either have some issues or just not take full advantage of the available speed. I often have videos stall.
The Netflix app work flawless, never had any slow connection issues. The Youtube app in general could use a makeover. It still uses the old rating system that isn't even supported by Youtube any more. It also doesn't show all my subscriptions.

Why won't youtube videos load on my mac?

I recently purchased a macbook pro with retina and i can't seem to be able to watch youtube videos. The problem is not all the plug ins and everything, I have all of those, the problem is that they won't load. Maybe a few seconds of the video will load and then it will stop to buffer. My internet connection is perfectly fine considering I just watched several movies streaming on Netflix and websites have no trouble loading. Sometimes putting videos in their lowest resolution works but I have this nice and fancy retina display and I'd sure like to utilize it. Any help?

1. Enable Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Internet Plug-ins > "Allow all other plug-ins
2. Check whether you are currently in YouTube HTML 5 trial.
     http://www.youtube.com/html5
    At the bottom left of the page uncheck the box for
   "You are currently in the HTML5 trial".
3. Reset Safari / delete cookies.
    Click Safari in the menu bar.
    From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
    Uncheck the boxes next to all items.
    Check the box next to "Remove all website data".
    Click "Reset".

Videos load slower than in the past

Since upgrading to Firefox/3.6.13, videos load much slower. I have run speed test on system and that is not the problem. I have DSL. The later in the day, the slower the down load.

Hello Paul,
Least likely is Malware.
Check the S.M.A.R.T. status of the drive in Disk Utilty by highlighting the Drive & looking at the bottom of the window.
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

Problem with Youtube videos loading...

I have had problems with Youtube since I have gotten my new Mac in November. (My old Mac would play them fine.) The videos will start loading and then stop. If I want to continue trying to watch a video I have to move the button around on the bottom to the right, and then back to the left. This does not always work though. The thing is, though, that it works at my school's campus. Just not at my house. However, I can watch Youtube videos on my mom's Sony Vaio. What can I do?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
YouTube streams some video content using the Flash Player plugin. Try uninstalling then reinstalling a new copy of the plugin.
Uninstall Flash
Install Flash
Then Disk Permissions
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and *restart your Mac.*
