You can try choosing a lower quality setting from the bottom of the video screen on the right. change it to it's lowest setting of 360 and see how you go?

Clean browser cache.

What streaming service are you using?

[LukeB]

vodlocker which always works perfectly until now

[Calderyon]

Also have you tested your internet speed with the Ookla website?

Also have you tested your internet speed with the Ookla website?

yeah 1.56mbps download speed
0.93mbps upload speed

[Smithy]

that isn't good internet boo

[Calderyon]

That´s fairly good imo.

Do you have many browser tabs open at the same time?

[LukeB]

only this and vodlocker

[Calderyon]

Have you tried closing and restarting your browser? A computer restart might be a good idea too.

yeah so many times :worry: done everything... it'll be fine tomorrow but today it wants to play up. I could have finished an episode by now but been waiting for the load bar(why can't it just be simple and be like a downloaded video with no load bar)

[Calderyon]

Do you have a shared internet or ADSL/VDSL?

[LukeB]

nope :worry:

[Calderyon]

You could try use a video downloader and/or some other streaming service than vodlocker?

IMO Vodlocker has always had buffering problems.

[Calderyon]

nope :worry:

What kind of connection do you have? Is it via mobile, via cable modem or via ADSL/VDSL modem, that has WiFi?
