streaming video problems: keeps buffering

Are you using the latest version of Flash?

Adobe Flash Player gets installed in Macintosh HD>Library>Internet Plug-ins folder. If other site are working well then it just may be that particular site. Post the url and we'll all check it out.

I had no problem.

Yes, I am having serious problems with this site (and its sister site www.colbertnation.com). My problems is a little bit different though.
I can repeat the errors several times and here is how to do it:

1. visit www.thedailyshow.com and click to view a full episode with either Firefox or Safari
2. in the middle of an episode, click on another episode in the episode picker or choose to click on Colbert Report.

80% of the time, either Firefox or Safari will freeze. If you are not quick enough to terminate the web browser with Command-Option-Escape, the cpu will fail to respond and you are forced to restart the computer.

These two sites are the only two that I have this problem with. It started in September and I never had any problems before.

First you should start a new post with your issue. However, I tried to duplicate what you said to do and 10 of 10 times I had no problem you described. Tried with both Safari and Firefox. Make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. I have version 10.0 r12.

I have the same problem, this happens across many wireless accounts. The computer hard drive seems to be churning when it freezes.

Read my post prior to yours.

I just a bought a new MBP (2.5) from Amazon and I'm trying to watch some streaming content and I keep getting interrupted... seemingly buffering just as you described....

What's the solution???

Thanks,

I am having the same problems (dailyshow and colbert report) with my new unibody macbook (both in safari and firefox). I've also had some problems streaming from NBC's site -- but not hulu lately... With the ram and processor speed, I assume (deeply hope) its not a problem with the hardware. I have the newest flash so is there something I do in settings or something. Help.

I am having the same problems - extremely frustrating - tv.adobe.com and various other tutorial sites. I have emptied cache - etc to no avail - would love a solution if anyone has one. Thanks

I am also having the same problems. Did you find a solution?

I'm having similar issues, though it appears to be with any site for streaming; Hulu, Crunchyroll, Fox's website. Even YouTube for a few full length videos. I even just installed Flash again, made sure it was in the Internet Plug-ins and I still have these issues.

No problems here in Australia with this site on any of our six current Macs (variously running Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard and running over airport to an ADSL net connection), lingualect .

It is next to impossible to diagnose these sorts of issues in situations where we have no idea what country you are based in (and therefore what local internet infrastructure issues may be involved), what sort of local network is involved, what sort of connection you have to the net, etc etc. Your problem may lie with your own Mac set-up, but it is at least equally likely to be due to problems with your own network, your ISP, or even an international data transmission issue.

Until you provide some more substantial information about all of the above all we would be doing is guessing.
