Youtube videos stopping some way in

**wonboodoo** · June 18th, 2012, 12:14 PM

I'm noticing that some Youtube videos are stopping some minutes in. For example anything about 20 minutes or longer by the ChessNetwork user (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KG92_...feature=relmfu ) seem to stop about 17 minutes in. I remember in the early days of the Box's existence there was a bug that caused this to happen regularly (something to do with running out of temp space on the box), but that was fixed a while back. I tried finding the JIRA but was unable to. Anyway, now I'm starting to see this behavior again.

Will see if I get resolution here and if not I'll enter a new JIRA.

Thanks.

This happens to me often. I have to quit the browser and restart it and seek ahead in the video to get it playing again.

for me; the boxee screen comes up after 10 min or so, while the video is playing ?!

I`v got the same problem.
On IE YT vids runs smoothly, you can see the grey progressbar fill up a lot faster than de playposition of the video.
On the BB you don`t see a progressbar (is it called that way?) at all, and most video`s hang after a couple of minutes.
Sometimes if you go navigate a page back an then forth again (which is very annoying), it plays ok again.
But a lot of times not.
also , In IE you can click on another place in the progressbar to wake YT up if needed, but that does not work on the BB.

I added a JIRA: http://jira.boxee.tv/browse/BOXEE-12943

This sounds like a different issue to mine. Mine just hangs, without the usual Youtube buffering graphic coming up (indicating it's not a buffering/latency issue). I don't get the Boxee Screen (?), just a hung video. I basically have to exit the video & if I go back in to restart it it would recur at around the same point again.
