Increase Flash Player Video cache

[PhilipHutson]

When playing flash videos the video will stop and then load more, multiple
times. I want to increase the initial size of the cache before it starts
downloading so I can watch a video to completion without it stopping. Even
after the video finishes when I move the progress bar back to an all ready
played section it will reload that section and then freeze at points and load
more.
I've set my browser temp files usage size to 1gig and the local and global
storage of the flash player to 10mb and it didn't help. I cleaned out the temp
files without any help. The machine with the problem is running xp with ie 7
and a dsl connection. Is there a connection type detect that is reporting a
speed that is faster than it really is or is there a place I can increase the
cache size?

Generally this isn't something you can control from the Flash Player end. It's
a function of the way the developer creates the video (the compression they
use, if they're using Flash Media Server streaming, buffer size, etc..)

But that doesn't rule out some type of system issue effecting the download.

Is this videos from many different sites?

I cannot believe so many people out there are having this issue and there is no
solution from the user end. I have searched the entire internet and cannot
believe there is nothing we can do. This is happening to me on many different
web sites.:confused;

Hello,
I have the same problem for a very very .... long time.
Whenever I try to watch a video on youtube or google video or sites like
these, the video plays only for two seconds and then picture freezes. On the
other I always notice that the video loads normally and completely 100%. I can
even move to another part of the video and then it just plays again for two
seconds and freezes again. I tried playing with the global and site memory
setting that flash player use to store content but I didn't manage to get over
this problem (even gave unlimited memory storage). The important thing is that
it happens on major sites that use flash technology for video, like youtube,
google video, netcafe.

I appreciate your support.

Each of you should open Flash Player support cases via [url]http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer[/url]. Mention my name and if the agent tries to close the case let me know..

This start and stop thing on UTube is driving me nuts. I would like so much
to watch/listen but I just get frustrated and dont bother. I have asked and
asked many computer geeks and they all say it wont work. Cant believe as
others mentioned, that this has not been 'fixed'. There are other great
videos out there that load just fine and are great. Unfortunately most are
UTube and they suck!
