Default Streaming Videos help..
most times the video keeps buffering because of the load bar taking forever to load fully... is there a way to make it load faster

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?

That´s fairly good imo.

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

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

yeah so many times 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)

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

IMO Vodlocker has always had buffering problems.
