Impossible to watch videos

kihawo Blog Last Activity 7 years ago 737 views 16 comments

Hi everyone,


I have an issue with the videos on this particular website: I see the "circle" waving in the middle of the player, like when the video is loading, except that it never ends...


This issue is the same with Explorer, Mozilla and Chrome. Flash Player is up to date.


 


Do you know what it could be ?


 


Thank you very much,


 


K.

I get the same problem on my old MAC and I've been told that there is likely an internal hardware problem. Apparently, my '08 desktop can not be repaired by those nit-wits at Apple and they keep suggesting it would be cheaper to buy new that to have the machine re-built. I'm seriously considering video taping the damn thing as I drop it off a nearby 10 story building. Now that little beach-ball appears everywhere I go and for every file I wish to open! Good luck.

I have the same issue. Just recently started to happen. Everything is up to date. When I tried to download the video I get an "The download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred. Please try again."

I have the same issue often and its isolated to just this site, generally I do what Robbie does, download it and watch later, I am have also experienced this on a desktop and 3 different laptops.

Connexion is great, every other website works perfectly. It's only here, the 'circle' keeps turning.... (meaning that flash works well, the video is just never loading.)

The 'circle' indicates 'buffering' is taking place. We have experienced this phenomenon as well. It is a technical issue, with interacting factors occurring. It's not easy to definitely pin the problem down to one cause. As a result, finger pointing (blame shifting) all too often results. Whatever the underlying cause(s), the end result for the viewer is frustration, which is a boner-killer. My solution to this vexing situation is to download the video to my PC, then stream it, at my leisure, to my Roku TV, kick back on my sofa, and wank my brains out! ;-)

It could be the internet service provider. Have you recently switched?

Could be a slow connection. Has it been raining? Mine slows when it rains a lot
