iPad freezing when playing video.

Any time I play a video I can count on it freezing if it is html5. YouTube plays longer but if I have a video that's about 6 or 7 minutes it will freeze and playing a stored video will always freeze after about the same amount of time. In order to get out of it I have to do a hard reset! Anyone else having this problem?

Same problem, bought a new 3 and it will not play any video except for a few seconds at a time. This is really frustrating.

Joleen, unless it does it in the videos app, it is a network issue. If it is a network issue, then it is not Apple's problem to fix, but rather yours or your service provider's.

This is a 6.5 year old question... at the time there was only 1 iPad and I believe 1 version of the operating system... iOS 3.2...
