Admin: Note on YouTube Vids

Not sure if this is happening to anyone else, but I'm noticing that once I start a video, if I do not move my mouse it stops loading and once the video reaches the last part loaded it hangs until I move my mouse again - you can see the little grey load progress bar stop and start based on your mouse movement. Anyway, I just thought I'd throw this out there in case anyone else was seeing the same.

  1. yeah, i've also been having more and more problems with youtube flash players, especially when there's more than one on a single page.

  2. Haven't had that particular problem, but the Youtube vids have been a little wonky here.

    Sometimes, but not always, if I click over to another application, the video freezes. Like if I'm watching one at work and have to switch quickly to a spreadsheet to *ahem* 'do some work' when the boss walks by. Then it starts up again when I focus back to my browser.

    I always figured it was Firefox's fault. But I have no clue.

  3. Yeah, I noticed that too. I think that one might be by design as it's actually useful for videos. Not for audio though. As for the original problem in the post, I notice that if I press any keys on my keyboard like the up and down arrow it continues loading. It's almost like YouTube wrote some code that allows streaming from external sites only if you are watching it. It's like you have to move the mouse or press a key on the keyboard to say, "I'm still here, keep streaming." It could be a smart although annoying thing to do to control bandwidth and perf. The idea is you are at work and click pay but then have to rush off for something. If you aren't there then why spend the bandwidth and perf.
