Recently, online cinemas have become widespread, in which even the latest cinema novelties can be watched for free and in decent quality. In particular, there are many completely official services that offer viewing in exchange for 20-25 seconds of advertising.
And everything would be great, if not for the fact that it slows down online video in some cases, it's just awful. Watching your favorite movie in fits and starts for 5-10 seconds is simply impossible, and waiting for the download is sometimes useless, since it still hangs in the middle of the process.
What can be done with this? It’s most offensive when the speed of the Internet connection is more than decent, but it affects the situation weakly.
To try to deal with the problem, you need to update the flash player installed in the system. Typically, he does this on his own, but many users disable this feature in their browser. If this does not help you and slows down the video online even on the new version of the plugin, you will have to look for other ways to solve the problem.
First of all, you need to check the configuration of your computer. Broadcasting streaming video is quite a resource-intensive process, and therefore some weak machines cannot handle it just physically. Try disabling unnecessary background programs, reducing the load on the processor. If there is such an opportunity in the online player, you need to lower the content quality settings.
In the case when the
video online
slows down after these events, you can use another method.
So, quite often such slowdowns of reproduction can be observed at insufficient size of browser disk cache. Here is an example to increase it in Firefox and Google Chrome. In case of «gelis ’, click on the Firefox button, find the“ Settings-settings ”item there, select the“ Advanced ”item, the“ Network ”tab.
Check the box "Disable automatic cache management", set the value to 1000 MB in a special field and click on the "OK" button. If you are lucky, then you will forget about how online video slows down.
With Chrome, everything is somewhat more complicated. In the official settings there is no possibility of increasing, so you have to trick. You need to find the Chrome directory, find the executable file (chrome.exe) there, right-click on it with the right mouse button. In the menu that you open, select the "Create Shortcut" item.
Having performed this action, right-
click the mouse to call the
context menu, look for "Properties" in it, select the tab "Shortcut". Now attention! In the tab we find the line "Object" and insert the following line there: "c: \ program files \ google chrome \ chrome.exe" --disk-cache-dir = "c: \\\\\\\\ chromecache" - disk-cache-size = 1073741800. Click on the "OK" button. Given that, due to a lack of cache, it often slows down online video, Chrome should become a bit “faster.”
And finally. If none of the above helped, and the speed of your connection is really high, we recommend looking for another resource with movies. The fact is that some sites are heavily "sagging" at the time of the influx of users, and therefore can not provide normal speed for downloading content.
By the way, the player often helps to solve the problem to watch videos online (the same VLC, for example). Having understood the settings, you can watch movies without even opening a browser window.
