Watching Video

[RUBICON52]

I watch a lot of vids on youtube, mostly diy etc.

Over the last week I have had problems with vids pausing. No not buffering, it is like someone hitting the pause button.

As the vid plays, it suddenly stops and the paused button (triangle pointing right appears) press the that and the play button appears and nothing happens.

Anyone experienced this or anyone have any advice/suggestions?

Just something to consider.
If you inadvertently click your mouse button in the video window it will pause / un-pause. the space bar also does this.
Maybe a script is running, try viewing the video in an alternative web browser (like firefox), to see if the problem persists.

dont forget to disk clean or defrag
disk clean every week or so defrag every month or so
plus if you press ctrl+alt+delete at the same time then performance check your cpu usage

Your net connection speed varies continuously , if the speed drops below that required to stream it will pause video as you describe.
