wierd youtube issue
I've had this weird Youtube issue where when I try to change the video quality it just stops working, is this Google screwing things over or is it something in my end?

Re: wierd youtube issue
The new Flash update seems to be causing the problem because it's the only thing I've changed and now my daily "pound leftovers while watching Starcraft 2 replays" lunch time has shit like "going full screen causes the video to stop playing, forcing me to manually click play again." I assume it's Flash because it's been Flash before, it's always been Flash, and Flash has gone to shit. I may have to rollback like I did last time.
Re: wierd youtube issue
The new youtube player is shit as well. When you watch videos in a series, it forgets the quality setting when exiting fullscreen and reverts to auto. Which is stupid.

Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'?

Re: wierd youtube issue
I had this problem using Firefox. I switched back to Chrome and HD works without breaking.
I wish it stays in HD when I tab videos to watch.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Re: wierd youtube issue
A few days ago I picked up an add-on for Firefox called Youtube High Definition which makes youtube videos start playing in high definition. I haven't noticed any of the problems I had when manually changing the video resolution, except on embedded videos where the extension fails to work for some reason.
Does Chrome have a similar extension ?

Ah, yes Chrome indeed does and it works. Thanks.

Re: wierd youtube issue
To be fair I had this problem quite awhile ago, when it seemed to disappear of its own accord (no Flash update, and YouTube didn't make any changes I could visually see, though that says nothing about under the hood, of course).TheFeniX wrote:The new Flash update seems to be causing the problem because it's the only thing I've changed and now my daily "pound leftovers while watching Starcraft 2 replays" lunch time has shit like "going full screen causes the video to stop playing, forcing me to manually click play again."

Not saying it can't also be Flash but it wouldn't surprise me if it's YouTube fucking up somewhere as well.

Re: wierd youtube issue
So in a related issue, it seems that I can't see YouTube comments anymore. This is generally a good thing and I hope it stays that way.
Still, anyone else having this happen? Any word on what might be causing it?
