Whenever I try to watch a video on youtube it'll play the first minut or two perfectly and then it will freeze the video with the little bar at the bottom still moving without it, after a few minutes it MIGHT unfreeze itself and when it does, it automatically fast forwards at rapid speed to wherever the bar happens to be at the time which causes me to have to miss a great deal of the video I happen to be watching, why does it do this, flash on my laptop works perfectly so it's definitely not my wifi, and even when the flash does happen to freeze and/or buffer it always retains my exact spot in the video. I haven't been able to watch a full, uninterrupted video on my iPad since I got it 6 months ago, I tried to watch the D8 video of Steve Jobs and James Cameron on the All things digital website but since it was using Quicktime, I ended up having to watch it on my laptop in flash instead. :mad: And I hate flash, but quicktime on the ipad is just awful to have to deal with!
 
Calm down. I don't have any issues with my Quick time player on iPad...
 
Well, unfortunately 4.2 won't be available for the iPad for another month or so :rolleyes: Apple better make it worth the wait....

A stable 4.2 build has been out for 2 weeks now. Doesn't require having a developer account (if you update.)

If you want a problem fixed, fix it.
 
I havent had this problem at all. All my YouTube videos play just fine. Some of them were quite long at 10+ minutes. I also watch videos from All Things Digital website. No problems at all on 4.2 betas or 3.2.2. Maybe try restoring it?
