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>

I've been having issues with with the HTML5 player on YouTube<br>
on the past few days' worth of Nightlies. I'm currently on the<br>
latest Nightly as of 10/29/2014, however, I've been having<br>
issues with YouTube where videos will play fine for a few<br>
minutes before the audio cuts out at completely sporadic<br>
moments on completely random videos. Where the audio cuts out<br>
is usually consistent though as long as the video starts at<br>
the same place every time. Strangely, the HTML5 player breaks<br>
around the same time, with the video continuing to play<br>
without audio, and for some reason, if I pause and unpause the<br>
video. I can't pause the video afterwards. The play button is<br>
permanently stuck thinking the video is paused, meaning it<br>
shows the play triangle instead of the pause bars it should<br>
while playing, and the seeker at the bottom keeps going.<br>
Clicking on the player shows the animation for pausing, but<br>
the neither the video nor the seeker pause. Sometimes clicking<br>
on an earlier part of the video will restore audio, other<br>
times, it will go to the proper segment of video, but still no<br>
audio, and sometimes it will restore audio, but will<br>
constantly play back to the spot the audio stopped as if you<br>
never rewinded in the first place. Other videos, in particular<br>
longer videos (the one I had an issue with was 30 minutes<br>
long), downright don't stream properly with the video always<br>
buffering, perhaps playing for a couple of seconds before<br>
buffering again forever, but only if I'm signed into YouTube<br>
and the video attempts to resume from where it last left off.<br>
If I sign out and the video just plays from the beginning, it<br>
works fine. It's not a network issue as not only do I not<br>
encounter the buffering issue on stable Firefox and other<br>
browsers, but the HTML5 player shows that the video is fully<br>
buffered on the seeker.<br>
<br>
Sorry for the extremely long message, but I wanted to be as<br>
specific as possible on what issues I've encountered. I've<br>
tried clearing the cache, deleting YouTube's cookies, using a<br>
different profile, creating a clean profile, resetting<br>
Nightly, enabling/disabling e10s, and Safe Mode. All plugins<br>
and addons are fully updated or disabled. I've only tested<br>
this on Windows 7 x64.<br>

Which system? You're Header to post doesn't show the Mail Client<br>
you are using.<br>
<br>
The above play fine, no hassles - but I am using a Linux distro<br>
(openSUSE). I am also using VLC as my video/sound player and using<br>
a Creative sound card.<br>
<br>
However, there is one thing which I *hate* - most vehemently :-)<br>
(Tm) - and it's not a joke: one needs to exit YouTube after<br>
viewing a file in order to view another file, which is damn<br>
annoying. If one views a file and then tries to follow it up with<br>
another, the second file comes up with "An error has<br>
occurred......" and the second file will not play. Exiting<br>
YouTube, coming back and selecting the second file will then make<br>
the second file play without a problem.<br>

Ooops, sorry, I didn't read the very last sentence in the last paragraph :-( . Mention of the client is because one can get the idea of the system a person is using and follows on from my previous sentence (in my first response).<br>
<br>
I mentioned the video card I am using because whether it is an onboard card or an external one each requires a driver and many problems may be caused by not having up-to-date drivers for the video card or chip.<br>
<br>
Re VLC: shouldn't have mentioned it in this context. I use it to view all videos downloaded from YouTube but Firefox, of course, uses the OpenH264 Video Codec to display YouTube videos.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
