Just over the last month, anything on Youtube, Gametrailers etc that is above the normal 360p has started performing very badly. I can't even watch 720p or higher because it freezes up the browser or moves at 5fps. This happens both in Firefox and Chrome so it's not browser related and I have the latest Flash update so I can't understand how this is happening.
Any ideas?
Clear Browser Cache/History/Temp
Re-install Flash
Re-install Browsers
Scratch balls
Try Internet Explorer, AFAIK it uses a different way of installing Flash than virtually everything else. If it's OK then it might be your updated Flash plug-in has issues with your computer configuration (wouldn't be the first time they've released something which knackers weaker hardware).
I had that for years on my old pc, was never able to track down the issue. So fucking annoying!
Ok this is odd, if I load a video at 1080p, it freezes and I just close the window via processes. I decided to leave it and see what happens this time and after about 2 minutes, it unfroze and played the video without any problems.. WTF.
I'll try clearing temp files and reinstalling flash, not much point reinstalling browsers as it's not the issue.
IE? lol I disabled that months ago, I don't know how to get it working again...
Get a new PC.
I didn't even realise you could disable IE... can't you just open it?
Just removed it as default and disabled all active x controls and plugins, I don't trust using it...
Videos started working again fine now without me doing anything.... I don't get it.
