Jun 27, 2014 1:39 AM in response to talldave68by MichelPM,YouTube has a pop up or setting for resolution. Have you tried playing YouTube videos at either 320p or 480p or even 720p?
The G5 will , probably, NOT play videos at 1080p, but not certain.

Jun 27, 2014 2:39 AM in response to MichelPMby talldave68,Thanks for the reply, no that is not the problem but think I have finally found a solution:
In Tenfourfox 17 install the quicktime enabler plugin and then instead of watching videos in flash, just right click and open them in Quicktime, no buffering, perfect!

I was going to recommend that method next as this is what I had to do when I used to run an older PowerMac G4!
Glad this has worked for you!

Jun 28, 2014 3:46 AM in response to talldave68by Klaus1,Actually you can.
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
I am using Flash 11.5.502.55 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.

Jun 28, 2014 4:30 AM in response to Klaus1by talldave68,I had actually already done that but still got the buffering so downgraded to version 17 (using the same 'aboutconfig" method) as I was told that the newer versions wont accept the enable quicktime plugin. So now I use version 17 and play the youtube clips through quicktime 7.55. Will try again in the newer version but didn't work last time. cheers.
