I get the same issue some times. I've never known why the issue starts at all. If anyone has info I would also appreciate it! :)

Mine is like that only during peak hours though so it could just be our areas of just because youtube is recieving a much higher load at those times.

Is your space button broken or did you just not proof-read this?

I'm here to learn and help others!

Not really sure if this will help but I've been having a similar issue with YT on firefox lately. It seems that when the video is windowed it sometimes defaults to 480p for me and will get stuck buffering. When I manually select 720p for quality it starts playing right away and I no longer have any buffering.

YouTube does anything for no reason lol, but it has been doing weird things lately.

Are you using HTML5?

The stars died for you to be here today.
