    Weird streaming buffer issues.

     
    Alot of the time when I watch videos, the buffer line will be much higher then the actual play line, but the video would still frequintly pause to buffer even though it obviously doesnt need to. Any way to fix this?

    If you right click on the player, and look at the settings, are there options for a buffer size, or the amount of local storage it can use?

    30mb+ Fiberoptic cable internet. Charter ISP.
    . I've messed with the buffer settings and everything. Didn't seem to affect the video at all.

    could be other stuff in the background running, interfering with the video player.


    How much RAM are your running? What CPU?

    are you running any other background apps beyond the OS, Antivirus, and any other typical necessary software?

    Nothing else was running in the background. I'm highly familiar with computers. This is the first I really had to outsource my questions.

    8Gig Corsair DDR3 RAM
    Sapphire HD5870
    1090T AMD BE
    Windows 7 Ultimate x64

    Windows Security Essentials

    Only other thing running was Windows Live.
    Yes got the latest flash version. Latest updates. My stuffs always up-to date :3

    could be a bad modem, should be easy enough to replace and if you do make sure you swap out the power supply.

    Blah so weird. lol Interesting facts. I've been through 3 modems, all brand new. 2 different ISPs. service chances ect. 2 Routers. Even reinstalled operating systems twice. Both Win7Ult 64bit though. using chrome actually. ill see if the problem persists with firefox or IE. dont like those browsers but it would just be for video watching.

    *PC's motherboard died about a month ago. had to buy new hardware, reason for the noted changes*

    well its obviously a hardware issue. i havent had any problems with anything else though. blah guess its not a huge deal. ill stick with videos from putlucker and netflix i guess lol

    Youtube is fine. Netflix works. Doesnt have the random buffer issues. Putlocker and Sockshare dont have the issue either. Just random videos, like the one in the op post.

    Nice feature bigbonehead. ty. usually use freemake for downloading or i dig into the code via Chrome F12 and download the flv manually.

    It's ok guys. I'll just deal. Can close the thread. Thank you for all your insight and help anyway
