mbruno Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Has anybody else been having problems with YouTube lately? Like, videos taking forever to load/buffer, if they ever do at all. I'm hoping that I'm not the only one having this problem and it's on YouTube's end.
floggingmolly22 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 I have that periodically. It's usually on my end though. Have you tried resetting your internet connection (router, modem, etc)?
Javalin Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 I normally only get it when i'm at college or something.-- However, there was some news lately that music videos are getting banned because of massive breach of copyright. I heard this was only to UK Users, but the bad buffer rate your experiencing, maybe caused by this? Try switching to high quality, for some unknown reasons, this speeds up the buffering speed, when in theory, it makes it slower. Kind Regards, Javalin
floggingmolly22 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Could be, but I know that many users in the United States of America are also experiencing removal of most music that is not uploaded either by the artist themself or their record company (Warners, Universal). Most of this is being done by WMG (Warner Music Group ((I think)) ). But yes, switching your resolution/hi-lo def. settings may help.
Thor. Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 I don't know about you but i have no problem accessing music videos here in Canada :biggrin: , maybe its do to your laws in states and the UK.
AzirAphale001 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 A lot of music videos are getting removed for UK users for copyright reasons. If you live in the UK then tough luck.
floggingmolly22 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Or the US.... It sucks, but it's not happening worldwide methinks.
TheTerminator2004 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Yeah, I haven't been able to access any music videos at all from the UK. It is supposedly in breach of copyright (which is tbh questionable, but I'd better not discuss that). As for speed... I get slow speeds for everything these days, so I can't tell if Youtube is having problems as well.
Skree000 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 i live in canada, i see that all the time 'audio has been disabled due to copyright infringement by WMG' or something. total bs. i had a video i posted with completely original sound disabled. They are slightly nazi these days
Thor. Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I guess it depends on your provider, i have not seen anything like that yet. Can some one link me to one that has no audio, curious. I don't usually use youtube anyway, i have my other and better sources for flash music videos and anything else. Google if i wanted to lol.
