Youtube Quality changer

[benj149]

Hi,

 

 In the passed few days my youtube has started acting weird. It refuses to let my change the video quality and if I do change it the video crashes.

 

Is this a comman bug?

 

Please Help.

It could be a bug. Post a screen shot and label what the problem is

Also what browser are you using? Chrome Firefox IE

What is your preferred video quality

[benj149]

Not really anything to screen shot as soon as I change the quality the video just goes black

 

Im using IE

 

My preferred quality is 1080p and I know my internet handels it cause it worked till a few days ago but it wont let me change it to anything not even to lower ones

There's one of your problems , no but in all seriousness try going into the internet options on IE and go to the advanced tab, press the restore your settings button then press the reset button. If that doesn't work, try a different web browser like Chrome or opera

I'm having similar problems on YT with FF at the moment. Guess it's time to give Chrome another chance.

with me on firefox I sometimes have to restart the video after changing the resolution, else it continues at same resolution.

 

ie is better behaved.

it mostly has to do with youtube being a lil biotch, and not so much your browser. I've had the same problems on IE, firefox and chrome (my main browser)... I got sick of it so I downloaded an extension called smartvideo. It also allows me to buffer the whole video (like in the old days), so I can watch the video even when i'm offline later or so that I don't have to wait.

well,

 

after using chrome I can confirm that it was IE's fault.

 

Thanks for the help as always.
