Youtube videos randomly won't load
I recently got a new modem, and ever since then I've noticed YouTube videos will randomly stop loading (particularly longer ones, although I have had short videos stop loading too). Switching to HTML5 video player seems to let me play videos without having any loading issues.
- I've tried resetting my router.
- Reinstalling Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.125
- Clearing my recent history
- Flushing my dns
- Turning DASH playback off
- I've tried posting on Adobe Flash Player and Youtube forums for help but nobody replied
- It's been happening for over 2 months now.
- Videos seem to load fine on Chrome
I'm not really sure what else to do, I'm assuming it has something to do with my new modem, but I have no idea how to fix this.
I'll be using Chrome until I find a solution to this.

Hello.
Someone with the same issue got a reply here. If you have any further questions, send me a private message.
I'll give it a try and test it to see if it works
I tried all the instructions suggested in the link, but youtube videos still randomly stop buffering.
Still have a problem if anyone's able to help
it apears to be the flash player ....
and how do you change the setting of youtube to html5 ? cheers
Try Firefox without hardware acceleration is that makes any difference. Click Tools / Options or click menu button in browser then Options. Then Advanced / General.Remove the tick for hardware acceleration where available.
Flash also has hard acceleration,right click on any flash video. Select settings,disable the hardware acceleration option & see if this helps or not.
thank you Cor-el ;)
