Videos keeps buffering?

resting commented 9 years ago

Anyone experiencing Youtube videos going into a infinite buffering mode after playing for like 10 secs or less?

Aslan11 commented 9 years ago

Yes. I can't even get it to play a video, just stuck infinitely buffering. Video is loading snappy in chrome though? :confused:

This seems to be an issue with WebView in general, I experienced it while trying to use it for youtube videos in a different project.

Edit: Macbook Air 13", 2014, OS X 10.10.3

I also get this, youtube video keeps forever buffering, while the browsers load the video flawlessly.

Yosemite 10.10.3 Macbook Pro Late 2014 15inch 512GB HD

Same here, defeats the purpose of this app for me to be honest. :( Edit: I'm running on the latest Yosemite 10.10.3 with access granted through the firewall on the latest MacBook Pro 2015 13 inch model.

It would be interesting to know what software/hardware you all are running. I've been unable to reproduce the issue.

jorenmartijn commented 9 years ago

@JadenGeller I've updated my post with my hardware and software info. Hope you'll be able to find a solution.

Same problem here, on Yosemite 10.10.3 Macbook Pro 13'' 2015. (thx for the app !) Oh, and Flash is not installed Safari...

I had the same issue, and it seems to be related to the HTML5 player. After installing Flash, the videos play perfectly without buffer-freeze.

I'm on OS X 10.10.3 too. iMac 27" late 2012. Just downloaded Helium 1.6 and the video still gets stuck after like 10 secs.

@martihag How do you force it to play with Flash? I have Flash installed by Youtube always plays using HTML5.

martihag commented 9 years ago

@resting I dont think I did anything in particular. I did install Flash from Homebrew though.

$ brew cask install flash

And after that it seemed to prefer Flash over HTML5 in Helium. Still HTML5 in Safari.

jorenmartijn commented 9 years ago

@martihag Tried that, by the way, cask doesn't work but brew install Caskroom/cask/flash does. It doesn't seem to detect flash at all. Tried brew install Caskroom/cask/flash-player for good measure as well and still no dice.

@martihag That seems to have done the trick for me; using OSX Yosemite on a MacBook Pro Retina 2014.

brew install Caskroom/cask/flash worked on my Macbook Air, but not on the iMac. Why? It was able to play YT videos in flash in my Macbook but not the iMac.

wfalkwallace commented 9 years ago

it seems to continue to work if you adjust the time-scrubber or quality (even if you set it to the same value). It seems like it's just not reacting properly if it reaches the end of its buffered content (if it never does this, it seems to work fine). Is there any way to retrigger a "start buffering" or something?
