Youtube videos spazzing out and freezing

Hi
Sometimes when I have a youtube video in another tab and then go back into that tab, the video will show the same image (as if it were paused, except the sound continues) and/or showing other images spazzing inside of the video (zooming in and out). The latter happens more frequently when I'm on a youtube playlist or have multiple youtube videos opened (not all playing). The latter is quite rare, however, and I had only gotten it twice before I started finding a way to reproduce the former problem. Both can occur independently of each other. I can't remember this happening to me on my old arch linux install (on the same computer), which had the same driver and browser.
I'm on a relatively new arch linux system (about 3 days old) so I barely have anything installed.
This is some of the stuff I have installed that might be relevant:
- Desktop Environment: Cinnamon
- Browser: Chromium
- Video driver: ATI (xf86-video-ati)
- flashplugin 11.2.202.291-1
Reproduction of problem:
1. Open Chromium
2. Open Youtube
3. Open three videos in a new tab from the front page
4. Close Youtube front page window
5. Wait for all videos to start
6. Pause all videos
7. Start video in tab #1
8. Click 'Youtube' in the left corner in tab #1 for home-page
9. Click a video
10. Let the video load and then either pause or let it play.
Now both videos from tab #1 and #3 are frozen (sound is still playing) with a white frame, picture from another website (if I tabbed to it from that website) or a picture from the video. Sometimes it's spazzing out with another video zooming in and out inside of the video frame.

Surculus
PS. the problem can happen in with e.g. two youtube windows open, I just wrote one that always worked for reproducing the problem.

Hi BKLive
My problem is not that flash crashes. The sound is still playing, but the video freezes in place or is replaced by an image from another website in my tabs (that I would then have tabbed out of to get to the Youtube video). I tried the suggestions that were given in those forum posts, but they did not solve the problem. The only thing that 'fixed' it was using gnash. However, I do not want an infurior alternative that will negatively affect my experience watching youtube but rather to solve the problem. Unless of course there's an alternative that functions better than the default youtube flash player.

    Have you ever even used skype on an iphone or ipod?  We tried it and there is no way to type to each other while you are video chatting.  You can do the typing during the video on a COMPUTER, but not on an iphone or ipod.

  • IPhone locks up when Youtube video is paused and phone goes to sleep mode

    When a youtube video starts playing and i pause it for a bit and let the phone go to sleep , it locks up. I cannot wake the phone up by using any of the normal methods. So I have to reset the iPhone to do anything.
    This behavior is reproducible on my iPhone.
    Anyone else experience this?

    That's definitely a situation you should let Apple know about.

  • Hello my MacBook is crashing when I watch Youtube videos. Safari and Flash Player are updated.

    Hello,
    My MacBook is crashing when I watch Youtube videos. Safari and Flash Player are updated.
    What is the problem?
    It will be necessary to take him on a technical assistance?
    thank you

    Have you tried an alternate browser to see if the same issue happens? Try Firefox or Chrome. Chrome has Flash embedded in it, so if it doesn't work, it's probably not a Flash issue. FIrefox is at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and Chrome is at https://www.google.com/chrome .
    Another thing to try is to sign up for HTML5 video from Youtube. See http://www.youtube.com/html5

  • Why isn't Firefox playing any streaming videos anymore?...On youtube or wherever I go the audio keeps going but the actual video just skips and freezes up the computer..

    Any video that is viewable on the internet(youtube, flash, etc.) does not play in Firefox. The video is shown and everything but when I click it the audio begins playing normally and the actual video itself skips horribly and my computer begins to freeze up.
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == After my little brother crashed my computer a few days ago(blue screen and everything).

  • When I play a youtube video in one tab, then scroll up and down in any tab, the audio from the youtube video gets choppy and cuts out for a second. How to fix?

    I just want to be able to go on other websites and scroll while playing music (smoothly) on youtube in another tab.
    I don't think this happened until after I updated my firefox to 13 and my shockwave flash plug-in to 11.3.300.257
    How can I fix this cutting out and choppy-ness in youtube videos when I scroll?
    Thanks so much!

  • Screen blacking out and freezing when phone is charging

    I have noticed sometimes my phone is blacking out and the only way to get the screen to come back up is to remove my battery. It happens about 2 or 3 times a day. Also, when charging my phone I will press an app or phone number and it goes to a completely different app or contact. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    ive had an issue similar to this. my music worked for about a month then kept freezing on me. it wouldnt go back to the main screen or anything in the music player the screen just went black and my phone completely froze. however a hard reset worked for me. when you have an issue like this that can be resolved any other way this fixes it however i would use it as a last resort as a factory direct reset erases everything even backed up information on your sd card because everything is reset to the way when you first bought it out of the store. if you think this will work for you here is the quickest and easiet way i have found to do it:
    turn droid 2 off
    open keyboard and press x while holding the power button
    device will power on
    keep holding until a yello triangle appears
    press the magnifying glass on your keyboard
    use the volume button to select wipe data/ factory reset
    use camera key to confirm
    tap wipe data/factory reset
    then ok
    highlight reboot system now
    then ok

  • My video goes out and comes back on frequently

    Hi,
    I have a mac mini and the video goes out (blue screen) with an error that says "Check video cable."  It will then comb back on without doing anything but it can take several seconds or a minute to do so.  This happens randomly not dependent on doing anything on the computer or not.  It seems to happen consistantly maybe every 20 minutes or an hour apart.  This computer is being used as a cash register so this is quite frustrating when you have customers waiting.
    Anyone have any clues?  I swapped out monitors to rule that out and even replaced the VGA cable.  The only thing I did not replace was the video adaptar.
    Is there a way to reset the video with a keyboard sequence on startup or does anyone have any other ideas?
    Thanks you,
    Barb

    Possibly more important, check this...
    1. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General.  Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
    2. Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
    Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.

  • Youtube videos becoming green and still image?

    I started watching some videos and after 10 minutes, what i could see was a green still image... Thought that this was not something that i should not worry about, but today it happened again! Now, i cannot watch any video.
    P.S. if that helps, i tried to watch a youtube video which was on a webpage with safari. For a couple of moments, everything was fine, but soonly, it turned into a green image, the same that happens now with the youtube app!!!!

    Well, First of all, some of my .PDF files started to disappear without any reason, a year or so ago, a couple of months ago the "message" started to come up everytime I tried to shut it down or re start it. Then, the YouTube videos went "green" on Internet Explorer, and then on Google Chrome too! A couple of weeks ago any video saved on my Laptop, started to go "black", the same pattern, only audio could be heard, no images. It took a little while, I mean, after turning on my Laptop, 30 minutes or 2 hours later, tops, the YT videos would turn green,after watching 2 to 6 six videos on YT. and black, on Windows Media, at the same time, whenever I tried to play any video.
    Then I tried the link that I posted before. And my Laptop is getting slower after that, the display has "blinked", 1 or 2 times this past week. Internet Explorer "crashes", and I have to re-open my "session" to see my previous visited sites. I think this last part, is normal, since everytime IE fails and you have to "close the program", and then open it again, it doesn't scare me.
    What does scare me is to have a virus, or mallware. I have an antivirus, McAfee Security Center. And, I don't know what else to say.
    I use my laptop to record music, I have 2 programs for that, and 1 or 2 more that came with a guitar pedal and a keyboard, and I don't know if I should have just one, instead of 2 programs (DAWs) installed on my laptop, does that affect my Laptop?
    Thanks for replying.

  • IPhone 4s Almost all songs and all videos greyed out and will not play

    I bought the iPhone 4s yesterday and have been beating my head against the wall over this problem all night.  I only have about 2,000 songs on the iPhone and about 10 videos.  Some of the songs will play, but all others are greyed out and all videos are greyed out.  When plugged into iTunes the same problem is there, the same songs that do not play are greyed out while the ones that will play are not grey. 

    I've had this issue before. The greyed songs in iTunes are because the original music files have been moved on your computer and itunes can't find them.  Delete all your grayed out songs (might be easier to select all and delete all) ; then drag them all from your music file/folder back into your itunes... then resync.
    Good Luck

  • Recently when I try to play Youtube videos they start and after about 2 seconds I get "an error occured. Please try again later"

    I have the latest version of Firefox and also the latest flash player.
    Youtube videos play just fine on internet explorer and google chrome.

    There was another security release for Flash today as they are addressing some major security issues this week.
    I would recommend changing your Flash plugin to a click to play status. Go into about:plugins and click "Always Ask to Activate" for your flash player.
    However in your troubleshooting information:
    " numAcceleratedWindowsMessage: [u'tryNewerDriver', u'9.6'] "
    suggests to see this:

  • Watch 3 minutes of any youtube video, phone reboot and drained my battery??? Please help....

    Watch 3 minutes of any youtube video, phone reboot by itself and drained my battery full life??? Please help....
    I have removed all applications, that still did not fix it. Then I did a clean swipe and that still did not fix that problem.

    Good morning Palam001,
    I spend hours a day watching Youtube videos on my phone! It is one of my favorite pastimes! FYI, I don't do it at work though, just in case my boss is reading this! May I ask what device are you watching the Youtube videos on? Is it the blackberry curve that you have stated in your profile? Also, are you watching the videos directly from the website or from an app that was downloaded from blackberry app world? 
    There are a couple of options for you to try to get this issue resolved. If you are using a Youtube app or 3rd party app to watch the videos then I would recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the app onto the device. If it's a 3rd party app then I recommend contacting the developer for additional assistance or to report the error, at the very least.
    Another option is to perform software update/refresh on your blackberry. This can be done from a computer using the blackberry desktop manager. The process takes about 20-30 minutes if you already have the desktop manager installed. If you do not have the desktop manager installed then you can visit the link below to download it from blackberry's website.
    http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
    From the link above, you can download the desktop manager for either PC or Mac. Once you have completed the software refresh, please retry the Youtube videos to see if the performance have improved. If not then please reply to this message for additional options to explore.
    Thank you...

  • I have had my iPad for six months and it has worked great till last week then the video cuts out and goes green

    Question, video cut in and out and goes green?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • Why does my Macbook Pro Suddenly will suddenly black out and freeze I can't do anything and I am always forced to force off my mac.

    This always happens to me but recently it's happens more and more. Sometimes When I use it to game or do work or skype it will eventually black out and forze. I always have to hold my power button down to force off my Macbook pro. What is the caused of the proble and will focing off my macbook constantly spoil my mac?

    In very rare cases resetting SMC has solved this problem.

  • Yet again YouTube videos blacked out in Safari but not in Firefox

    Hello,
    Is anyone else suddenly experiencing the same problem, which is that videos suddenly won't run in YouTube on Safari.   The video frame is just blacked out.
    Copy and past the URL into Firefox and it runs without any problems.  I understand this is a recurring thing with YouTube on Safari, but is there a quick solution or do we just have to wait for YouTube (or Apple) to sort it out?
    Thanks...BC

    One of the following steps should help.
    1. Install Adobe Flash Player.
        http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
        Restart
    2.  Enable Plug-ins
        Safari > Preferences > Security
        Web Content:
        Click in the box for "Enable Plug-ins".
    3. 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".
    4. Reset Safari.
        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".
