<div dir="ltr">I mentioned my system at the end: "I've only tested this on Windows 7 x64", if that's what you meant. As for my mail client, I'm not sure why that's relevant, but I'm currently just using the web interface of Gmail in Nightly. If you mean system specs, I'm running it off the onboard Realtek ALC 888b chipset of my GA-Z68XP-UD3. I'm not sure how you're using VLC to play YouTube videos as I thought VLC was only for standalone media files.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 30, 2014 at 1:37 AM, Basil Chupin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:blchupin@iinet.net.au" target="_blank">blchupin@iinet.net.au</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">On 30/10/14 15:05, Vincent Zhao wrote:<br>

I've been having issues with with the HTML5 player on YouTube on the past few days' worth of Nightlies. I'm currently on the latest Nightly as of 10/29/2014, however, I've been having issues with YouTube where videos will play fine for a few minutes before the audio cuts out at completely sporadic moments on completely random videos. Where the audio cuts out is usually consistent though as long as the video starts at the same place every time. Strangely, the HTML5 player breaks around the same time, with the video continuing to play without audio, and for some reason, if I pause and unpause the video. I can't pause the video afterwards. The play button is permanently stuck thinking the video is paused, meaning it shows the play triangle instead of the pause bars it should while playing, and the seeker at the bottom keeps going. Clicking on the player shows the animation for pausing, but the neither the video nor the seeker pause. Sometimes clicking on an earlier part of the video will restore audio, other times, it will go to the proper segment of video, but still no audio, and sometimes it will restore audio, but will constantly play back to the spot the audio stopped as if you never rewinded in the first place. Other videos, in particular longer videos (the one I had an issue with was 30 minutes long), downright don't stream properly with the video always buffering, perhaps playing for a couple of seconds before buffering again forever, but only if I'm signed into YouTube and the video attempts to resume from where it last left off. If I sign out and the video just plays from the beginning, it works fine. It's not a network issue as not only do I not encounter the buffering issue on stable Firefox and other browsers, but the HTML5 player shows that the video is fully buffered on the seeker.<br>

Sorry for the extremely long message, but I wanted to be as specific as possible on what issues I've encountered. I've tried clearing the cache, deleting YouTube's cookies, using a different profile, creating a clean profile, resetting Nightly, enabling/disabling e10s, and Safe Mode. All plugins and addons are fully updated or disabled. I've only tested this on Windows 7 x64.<br>

Which system? You're Header to post doesn't show the Mail Client you are using.<br>

The above play fine, no hassles - but I am using a Linux distro (openSUSE). I am also using VLC as my video/sound player and using a Creative sound card.<br>
<br>
However, there is one thing which I *hate* - most vehemently :-) (Tm) - and it's not a joke: one needs to exit YouTube after viewing a file in order to view another file, which is damn annoying. If one views a file and then tries to follow it up with another, the second file comes up with "An error has occurred......" and the second file will not play. Exiting YouTube, coming back and selecting the second file will then make the second file play without a problem.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
