Problem: I can see
the video on the Flixxy site, but there is no audio. When I go to YouTube
directly, the audio works. Possible Cause: Corrupted or damaged flash content preventing audio streaming from working correctly. Solution: Run CC Cleaner to delete cached Flash content. It is a free program, available at: http://www.ccleaner.com Install and run it to clean up the cache files. PS: If
this does not resolve it, there are more possible causes described in the Adobe

Problem: No video. The QuickTime logo appears but
nothing else happens.
Explanation:
Most videos on the Flixxy site use Flash.
It looks like QuickTime has taken over Flash players privileges.
2. Open the QuickTime Control Panel 3. Select "Browser Plug-in" from the dropdown menu 4. Open up the MIME Settings dialog 5. Make sure "Flash file" is not selected. This is listed under Miscellaneous. 6. Click OK, and close the QuickTime Control Panel 7. Remove the file pluginreg.dat from your Profile Folder. This file will be recreated next time you start Mozilla 8. Remove npqt*.dll from your Mozilla or Firefox plugins folder. These files are not required, and can cause problems when QuickTime is upgraded After doing this, you may need to reinstall Macromedia Flash Player. These instructions should be the same for both Windows and MacOS X, with the exception of the last step. |

Problem: Video loading slowly or not playing
smoothly. Possible Cause: Occasionally there are slowdowns of the YouTube (Dailymotion, etc.) servers. If the problem occurs all the time, it could be that your Internet connection is slow. If you are using broadband it is possible that some of the settings on your computer need to be optimized. Solution: If you are using XP, the first thing you can do is run the "Tweak Test" to make sure the MTU and RWin settings on your system are optimized (this isn't necessary on Vista because the new TCP stack tunes the receive window dynamically). http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks If this doesn't help, there's a free tool that can help, called SpeedBit Video Accelerator. It pre-buffers videos and makes them play back more reliably. You can get it here: http://www.videoaccelerator.com/ Here is an explanation of how Video Accelerator works: http://www.videoaccelerator.com/help/ And here is another explanation and suggestion from YouTube Help Check your actual download speed at: www.speedtest.net |
