I do remember coming here for help with youtube before. Once again youtube decided to fuck me over time after time lol. The problem is simple: watching a video requires buffering, which works perfectly for every video while watching (or having it paused). But when I watch a video that is around 30minutes long youtube just refuses to buffer (either while playing or having it paused). I googled around and tried a few of those options (like cleaning cookies and temp files and what not) but nothing worked so far. It's happening both in my dorm and at my parents so it's not the connection. It's either youtube that's having a problem or my laptop that is blocking the data or what ever.

I'm pretty much lost now as to why this is happening on just videos of around 30minutes, if anyone can give any insight as to why and how to solve it I would be most gratefull =] Due to this I'm far behind on a few shows xD

do you mean long videos or just videos around 30minutes

because i have noticed something similar about youtube recently,
youtube no longer loads all the way anymore only a section of the video at a time... so in a 10 minute video the first 2 minutes are loaded and then it stops.... until i watch some more and the amount i watched seems to start to stream....

does anyone else get this either?

Well I've been watching 2 hours videos just fine, even one hour ones. But around that 30minute mark it just refuses to buffer, even from the start.

right click youtube video - settings - set to unlimited.

Might help

uh... for chrome?

it's flash, will work no matter the browser.

I assumed you meant the amount of data it can store on my pc from what ever site was listed there? Put it too unlimited atm, not seeing that much of a difference so far. I did remove realplayers download option because that was interfering with the latest flashplayer making it impossible to watch videos at all. Could that be it?

Also I use firefox, always forget to mention that ._.

Gotta do what I gotta do ;]

try a different browser, see if it makes a difference.

When I come back I'll give Chrome a shot I guess. Going on IE did not help much with buffering, just added a shitload of ads ._.
