http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi everyone. Setup: HP Pavilion g6, i3, Intel chipset, 6GB memory (Laptop.. The red one.) Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Opera 12.00 Problem: All streamed videos/music buffer way too often unless I turn the quality right down onto the sh*ttiest resolution possible (even then the buffering speed is not great). Even when video is loaded fair bit ahead, it gets laggy every now and then. Examined and diagnosed so far: It cannot be my connection speed (everything else runs rapid). It's not about my HW neither, 'cause in Windows, using Opera 12.00 and the same internet connection, youtube vid (Hardware)

YouTube app and buffering 13 weeks 4 days ago

I have had this problem since the beginning, and was hoping upgrading to JDQ39 would fix it, but it didn't.

Whenever I try and watch videos in the YouTube app, they will stop and buffer from what ranges to about every 20-30 seconds, to every 5 seconds. It is absolutely maddening, especially when I'm on a 20Mb connection and have zero issues playing YouTube videos on any computer.

I'm using Android Youtube API and I was wondering if there is a way to control video buffering. I'm specifically interested in the possibility of pausing the buffering and resuming it later on with the idea to download video gradually by chunks.

Any kind of help or workarounds highly appreciated.

Anyone else have issues using the Youtube App in relation to an endless amount of buffering? If i try to watch a HQ video thru the App it has to buffer every 5 seconds or so.....making it pretty much impossible to use. I can however load youtube in a browser, and stream just fine.....leading me to believe the App is the problem.

I am using YouTube API to show a video in portrait mode. Upon playing the video and turning the device into landscape mode, the video continues from the spot left off but re-buffers. I am looking for a solution as to how avoid the re-buffering.

I know for a fact its possible since Google provides an example here, and it works flawlessly except I can't seem to make it work with my application.

At first, I thought it was just the youtube app, but today has made me realise that the S3 really is struggling with video on all formats.

I've been experiencing really slow data speeds today. Typically I can watch a YouTube video in HD with no buffering, but today its buffering on SD (standard def) and super slow at that. Just wondering if its a national, regional, local, or my phone issue. Anyone else noticing speed troubles?
