YouTube Issues - Opera Fixed It!

Post by Cyberpunk »

To all gentlemen and scholars:

When I click for a YouTube video in my browser (stock or Dolphin Mini) it initializes the video and then immediately the video goes to the end without playing and just shows the multiple video thumbnails. If I use the YouTube app it either buffers forever or it barely plays, choppy and buffers every 5 seconds or so. This shouldn't happen since I have an old 7it Home Tablet v2 and two 5it's that play YouTube fine in the YouTube app. Any thoughts?

Ok, I just tried Opera Browser (not Mini) and what a difference! Plays YouTube videos in the browser with no issues just like my laptop. Must be a browser thing, not a 70b thing. However, I would have expected at least the stock browser that Archos sticks in it to work with YouTube properly. I've always favored Dolphin Mini but Opera is good.
