Sometimes buffering of youtube videos stop !
As written in the title I have some serious issues with the combination of Opera, flash, and youtube.It happens quite often that while video is being downloaded (buffered) then it suddenly stops just as if I had right clicked flash plugin and chosen "Stop download". The only thing I can then do is to refresh the page, but it often happens again and again. When I look at the same videos in Firefox I discover that (I'm no codec guy) something seems broken in the video stream, in that Firefox, while not updating the frame, it keeps buffering the stream and updating the seek bar and eventually within some seconds the seemingly "non-broken" frames are shown and updated.
This problem in Opera have been ongoing for a few years for me now. I'm not sure how Opera deals with the same NP API and physical flash plugin that Firefox do in a more failure prone way (within this context), but I don't like this problem I've experienced for some years now, which has succeeded giving me cold feet when it comes to youtube, forcing me to avoid Opera on that site at all costs.
Does anyone else have the same problems ? I'd like to know.
