Slo-mo videos will take much longer than regular video to buffer, are you sure you have given them enough time. Also because they are more demanding on your network, network problems may prohibit playback of slo-mo material when it doesn't other content.

Thanks. Slo-mo videos show first frame (not initial 'normal speed' frames) but do not appear to progress beyond this even after several (10) minutes. I would have expected that if buffering was the problem then it would play until the 'slo-mo' section. I don't have problems with other videos on the network. How can I investigate network interaction?
