I think it is a Youtube problem... I beginning to have that or that illusion it is loaded when it is not.

I noticed recently problems with their 720p and 480p

if you use youtube with HD video, you should start the video and then immediately pause it, while it buffers into your pc....then when its finished buffering in, resume the video....a small hassle but much better for HD videos...

I got this suggestion from somebody on some other thread...not my idea...

the problem is, it does not finish buffering, it stops.

Same here, none of the scripts I have tired for auto buffering work any more.

Seems google is not sending the complete file anymore. You have to play part of the video for the video to continue to download it seems. :(

i would think its a youtube problem, the way to test is go to some other video streaming site if theres works fine its YOUTUBE which is no big suprise youtubes got some real issues at times.
