What you mean by that, shape?
I know that if there are packet loss on the line, due to crappy ISP, it would causes nightmare on streaming, but I kind of ruled that out since it's onle Youtube and no other streaming sites
traffic-shaping, aka QoS. there was an article out the other day about British ISP's doing some dirty underground deals to block out certain steaming sites in favour of others... i think one of them was the BBC iplayer in favour of youtube.
What the ****?
That's sad.. I have to do some research with other people that have the same ISP as me, there might be something there tho I highly doubt it.
Why are women allowed to answer in the computer category? Both of them give terrible answers.[/chauvinist mode]
And as for me, I'm using Chrome and have no problems. I've only had one long video that froze at two points along the way one time and occasionally Youtube is a bit slow, but I don't remember a time when it actually was fast.
besides this black and white issue.. has anybody else found extremely long loading times when watching videos in 720p? It takes so ****ing long I could have downloaded a full length movie in the time it takes to finish loading one 3min video..
360p/480p or whateva it take about 5/10 seconds to load the whole clip, then switching to 720p seems to take about 10mins
Its all messed up. Sometimes i get 1080p faster than 720, 480, 460 and 240 combine. But mostly 360p is the fastest for me. Others just dont load or meh ... dunno.
I have no idea if this could fix your problems, but since Flash uses the GPU I have noticed many bugs, so it is wise to make sure you have the latest Graphic driver and Flash version...it has fixes 90% of the problems I've seen...
Bah
The worst thing is trying to jump back/forth in videos by clicking on the timeline. Most of the time I do this it makes the video stop loading. What a piece of shit tbh
Just move the red dot a bit forward and it will work again. Known issue and happena lot of times.
Beside that its that Youtube servers are overloaded sometimes and there are other factor at your ISP. ISP makes traffic shaping (I work at big international telecomunication companies and we do traffic shaping as well but it depend how smart you make it), other think might be that certain times your ISP network at some points might be overloaded.
Also DSL lines are known for big share ratio (usually like 1:20-1:50) so it might happen that when all people from same area using DSL at full speed it might go down up to that 1:50 of your full speed. Same for cable connection but they usually have much lower share ration. A lot of factor guys. Always fun with telecomunication and networking.
Good lines for companies still cost still like even 1000Euro for E1 (2048kbit). The quality of service and SLA is completly different
Well, if it gets stuck on my PC - i cant even drop the slider back on the timeline. Its just stuck on the cursor. Might be a bug of flash player, but meh ...
