YouTube fast forward Chrome hang

[zacky1223]

Hi guys not sure if I can ask this question here. I recently have this issue when I watch YouTube and I fast forward the whole chrome hang. It hang around 20-30 sec(browser show not responsive) then have to refresh and continue. Any advise what I should troubleshoot?

I also face quite a similar issue, when opening too many tabs and program. I believe mine is insufficient ram as I only have 4gb.

What's your ram?

haha, usually i use firefox but due to this forum where alot of people mentioned about browser issue so i decided to take a deeper look.

realised my usual firefox 32bit is actually taking up 3 times of ram when compared to chrome 64bit so i decided to change to chrome and try it out.

Guess what, i played a youtube clip and it hangs every now and then despite streaming white bar keeps moving. Opened same clip at firefox, smooth.

then i go download chrome 32bit, no hang...smooth as well. So go try chrome in 32bit.

Edit: Ok, after a while this chrome 32bit also shows green screen in youtube haha..i shall go back to firefox.

Hmmm I tried disable the hardware acceleration but issue still persist though.

I like to use slimjet. hardware video acceleration off by default. all common extensions built in like youtube download, adblock, mouse gestures etc

Try disable Pepperflash in Chrome plugin

Think its hardware acceleration issue.

If not then check ur ram usage when the thing hangs

If all fails try reinstalling flash player

You can always reformat. If still cannot try without graphics card
