The video stops or freezes during playback.
Most likely the problem is occurring due to network congestion, I have noticed this same
problem at different times of the day, other times the videos play fine. It is due to
bandwidth limitations of the internet, and when this occurs it is called "buffering",
what happens is the stream is interrupted because there is not enough "space" between our
server, and your internet connection for the video to stream through un-interrupted. It is
normal for this to occur, however hi speed DSL, cable and faster internet connections
experience this less frequently. My experience has been that the stream/video will
continue to play once the stream finds enough space to resume. Usually on my end when
this occurs it only lasts for 10-20 seconds and then the video continues. When this occurs, do not click on stop and try to restart, wait for a few minutes to see if the video resumes.
