nutmeg User ID: 60605776 United States 08/28/2014 08:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was having awful problems playing youtube videos, they wouldn't load and always stalled, just stopped playing and wouldn't restart, also error messages, etc. really getting bad! Quoting: Vision Thing Don't know where I found this SmartVideo add-on for Firefox, which I am using with Pale Moon, probably someone posted it on here or I was searching for the solution. [link to addons.mozilla.org (secure)] It works great, the videos buffer before they start playing, and they don't seem to get hitched up at all once they start. I'm using it on Pale Moon browser. I think I did something with the settings but I don't know what. I was in the settings before I even tried it. Anyway it works, you might give it a shot. Also I will pass along that I has a problem on one machine where youtube videos wouldn't play at all, always got an error, and it was because there were no speakers or headphones hooked up to the computer, I plugged some headphones in and that solved that. I think that can happen when your system is muted too. So keep that in mind (if they haven't fixed that stupid glitch yet). Thank you! |

It's been working for me ever since I installed it - no more freezing up in the middle of videos. You do have to wait a minute for them to load, but after that they play successfully. Nice to get rid of a source of frustration! |
