ClareQuilty Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I always get this problem on my computer - when I play youtube videos, they have very slight 'catches' in the play - tiny pauses that interrupt the song. It isn't noticeable when when watching non-music vids. Terribly annoying and seemingly unfixable. It wasn't always this way.. Anyone else have this problem, and/or any advice? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crabdog Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 If it's an older computer I'd suggest checking your background processes/programs and close any that are not essential. Windows gets cluttered and messy after long time use as well so it may just need some tlc to get it back into shape. Try updating your video drivers too.

Xircal Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 If you're using Google Chrome, ignore the following because Flash updates itself automatically. For IE or another plugin based browser continue: Download the Flash uninstaller from the following link: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html After uninstalling Flash, download the latest manual installation EXE file from here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html If you're using Internet Explorer, choose "Run" to install immediately. If you're using another browser like Firefox or Opera, save tbe file, close the browser and then run it. Another reason you might be experiencing the problem is your security software scanning the YT video while it's playing. Most AV has an option to disable the scanner temporarily and it's worth a try to see if that's the culprit. The following site explains how to temporarily disable most AV: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/114351/how-to-temporarily-disable-your-anti-virus-firewall-and-anti-malware-programs/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AA I use Firefox, but whenever I've had those downloaders they slow everything down terribly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
