youtube slows down and jams

Something Else · 22 May 2012 at 20:51

just today we have had bt infinity installed and its working (duh) but it seems to have had some effect on youtube.

when i watch a vid (so far only in full screen) the video stops and the sound becomes really slow until it stops too, it also completely jams up my system and wont do anything for about 30seconds or so.

also ive updated the driver for my wireless adaptor today.

has anyone else had this issue?

have you tried it using a different web browser?
flashplayer etc... upto date?

as far as i know its all up to date.

it did started doing this not long after i got a new keyboard and mouse but we also had bt infinity installed and it started after that too.

ill post a vid of what happens

the keyboard and mouse become un responsive and the hard drive shows no sign of activity according to the front panel led which usually flickers every now and again. the macro keys wont work, it basically shuts down except for the led illumination button

Thread hijack!

I've had a similar problem that started in the last couple of weeks. YT vids aren't cachiing properly. When I open a YT page the vid will cache so far and just stop. Once the play point reaches where the vid stopped caching it will just stop playing. I then have to hit F5 to cache another chunk of vid - rinse and repeat.

I'm using Win7 64 and Firefox, both up to date. I've tried reinstalling flash player, but it made no difference.

Any ideas?

my wireless card is a tp-link item but windows tries to install somthing called atheros drivers? ive ditched those and im using the official tp-link drivers off their website and it seems to have cured the issue so far. maybe its a youtube problem that is antagonized by certain hardware/software.

Same behaviour in Chrome? Have you changed the local Flash settings?
