utube video keeps pausing

[keratos]

running sidux:

xfce4.4.2
kernel siduxbox 2.6.26-6.slh.1-sidux-686

no utube video!!

downloaded libflashplayer.so and placed into .mozilla/plugins

flash video from utube now plays but every so often it pauses , sometimes for a second, sometimes for minutes, then resumes.

the problem does not occur on my fedora 8 installation on the same HDD on the same machine, when i dual boot into fedora.

ping of utube ...

daz@siduxbox:~$ ping uk.youtube.com

I noticed this would happen to me when I would have something like Audacious running and/or playing a song. Same thing with having a video open in Totem, gxine, and/or VLC. Make sure you're exited out of all other media-related programs such as those. Exit Firefox and reopen it.

I only had one browser window open.
nothing else
???

I get this too.
I'm on AMD Hardy 64,
Latest flash install courtesy of Vivek's (http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/install-flash-10-ubuntu-linux-64bit.html) script. still pausing at the 5%-10% playback mark, sometimes 50% if I'm lucky.
No other processes running in Gnome.

same behaviour vimeo, utube

I also share this problem, Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) Kernel: 2.6.24-21-generic

*sometimes* youtube vids play for 2sec then pauses (or freezes i suppose is a better term).

I have installed the same fixes you have libflashplayer, etc. No other programs running. It is interesting to note that I've had this happen in WinXP also, although it was rare.

okay for me in WinXP and indeed other distros I'm using (Fedora8, Arch 5, RHEL 5)
