    Just wondering if anyone else is having any issues with watching videos on youtube with OWB1.17?

    My problems is the video's start fine and then plays to about 20seconds and then I lose video but still recieve audio, done this to all videos I watch. (html5).

    I've also noticed some graphic garbling on ambient (above the icons) and launching some games shogo,hereticII (pink,green and blue pixels) since upgrading to mos3 so maybe an issue with this mini mac.

    About Youtube, which format are you using? WebM, mpeg4 or Flv (yea, this one is surprising) ? In HTML5 mode, Youtube can serve these 3 (see prefs->media).

    well, what would be the best settings to use? I for example have all but fast seeking in prefs/media unselected.

    @TGR

    Well, that's possible. I know another user encountered this, but in rather weird conditions: only if facebook is connected or so, according to him. I would still blame cosmic rays instead. ;)

    @RMS

    I would leave FLV unchecked. As for WebM/H264, H264 used to be faster than WebM in ffmpeg at some point, but now it's about the same, and WebM offers some 540p resolutions while H264 are only served as 360p or 720p.

    Fast seeking should always be enabled, as it allows you to seek to any place in the movie even if it hasn't been downloaded yet.
