Topic: u-tube video freeze

Often when i'm watching music videos of fellow Chordieans, the video will stop or freeze and then start again. I have two computers and it happens to both. Anyone else have this happen?    Any suggestions. Thanks,  bob.

Usually when I am going to watch a video I will pause it and let it load up for a few minutes. That way I can watch it as it loads the rest of the way. No stopping and starting. Hope that helps.

Keep Rockin!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: u-tube video freeze

Sounds like a speed issue with your ISP - I have cable internet and rarely have this problem.  But... you can do what zguitar says, should work perfectly for you.

Have this problem all the time. My cure is to pause everything and let it download - then I can watch everything with any interuptions.

Re: u-tube video freeze

I have the same problem sometimes.  I think it has a lot to do with the big glut of information on YouTube and customer traffic at different times of the day.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: u-tube video freeze

Thanks folks, I think you all are right to a degree, I tried pausing and letting it load and it worked 2 of three times. I have high speed ISP, or so they say and I pay for. Any way Pete is also right I'm sure, so much going on on u-tube. Oh well, just a blip in the road of life i suppose. i sure do like watching the videos y'all put up, good singers and players, some day maybe I'll figure it out and give it a try.  bob

Re: u-tube video freeze

May be there are some problems with the server where the videos are stored so the the speed of the channel is low... And that's why the advice of zguitar works.
