YouTube Videos Not Playing Properly in Google Chrome and Firefox
Author: Raymond7 Mar
Here’s another computer problem that abhiram was experiencing in his Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browser. When trying to view a video in YouTube, the video wouldn’t play properly. It’d either have no sound or completely stop after playing for a few seconds. It could only be 2 possibility and that is his unstable internet connection or flash player since YouTube uses flash player to stream videos. He confirmed that the problem on appears in Chrome and Firefox but worked perfectly in Internet Explorer browser.
Immediately this tells us that his flash player is either corrupted or he is using an outdated version of flash which doesn’t support YouTube or not compatible with Chrome/Firefox. The solution to fix this problem is to uninstall the currently installed flash player, download the latest version and then install it.
Instead of uninstalling flash player from Control Panel, I’d suggest you to use the official uninstaller provided by Adobe. There are four versions of Adobe Flash Player uninstaller, each designed for the appropriate operating system. Before running the uninstaller, make sure you’ve closed all your web browsers and also instant messengers such as Yahoo Messenger and Windows Live Messenger because the uninstaller cannot remove files currently in use. Click Yes when asked to confirm if you want to uninstall Adobe Flash Player and click Close.
Windows: uninstall_flash_player.exe Mac OS X, version 10.3 and above: uninstall_flash_player_osx.dmg Mac OS X, version 10.2 and below: uninstall_flash_player_osx_10.2.dmg Mac OS 8.x, 9.x: uninstall_flash_player.hqx
Once you’ve finished uninstalling Adobe Flash Player, now download the latest version of Flash Player from the link below.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
This page will automatically detect what operating system are you on and what browser are you trying to install the latest Flash Player. When the download has completed, again close any web browser and instant messenger that is running, then only run the installer.
Now you should have no problems in viewing videos that requires Flash Player. If it still didn’t work, just restart your computer after the flash update.

Great Tip
Thanks
Good news for youtube, I believe it was a plug-in issue that should be fixed with the latest version of Google Chrome. If people were running something earlier than 0.3.154.6, then they were asked to please update.
If you want to see which Flash Player is installed, visit this site:

I have once get that problem. My solution is to skip few seconds ahead, and the video will play well.
i remember this! thanks, only instead of Google Chrome, it was IE. instead of downloading it from the adobe page after it detected my OS and current browser, i just clicked on IE. thanks again.
thanx for the tip !!!
And for Linux, it’s as simple as opening Synaptic and using that
Thank you Ray
nice tip
Hi Raymond. I frequently have the same problem but I have the latest in Flash, Firefox version, etc. installed.
As sometimes I don´t have time or I don´t want to restart Firefox (which fixes the problem), what I do is to load the Youtube video in an Internet Explorer tab using the “IE TAB” plugin and that fixes it. I can hear and play the video without problems.
Hope it helps somebody

I too have faced this problem on Ubuntu. Definitely this problem is with ubuntu network manager. I mainly faced this type of loss of connection for sometime like 1-2 minutes or so on ADSL+ type of connection. After sometime it\’ll reconnect again. This will be irritating. What we can do is to disconnect and reconnect again and check whether Ubuntu is well connected to internet. This worked for me.
everything i hav tried doesnt work it stops every 45 seconds no matter what i do , i have tried every possible thing to do my youtube clip just pauses even if you skip ahead it wont play the rest of the clip, it was working fine until a couple months back and now it pauses time after time
