That doesn't seem to explain why they don't make it work,though.

Awesome, will check that out.
That doesn't explain why they constantly dump the cache completely and start over, though.

It's not a bug it's a feature.

The annoying thing is it wants to try to play flash videos sometimes even though I don't have it and use html5. Sometimes it will download the .flv file as it tries to play flash. Embeds or full screen links are the worst offenders for this. and then some videos don't even support html5 for some reason.

@thecreativeone91 ah no way is that the worst offender. My vote goes to websites with auto-play video/audio. It's my instant hate trigger.

Okay. Yeah auto play sucks. I hate it.

With features like that, who needs bugs.

LIterally , every time I let it cache a bit and hit play again so that it can go longer than two words without stopping..... Google erases everything cached and makes it start over.

Tried that but YouTube Extensions don't work anymore.

Perhaps your dropping packets like a laxative poop fest and the page keeps refreshing (or just parts of it)

Why would Google make it do that? That's just more of a YouTube bug!!
