YouTube on iPhone/iPod Touch.

Loading videos is aggrevating me at the moment. When I search for videos, the searches are fast, as are the Most Viewed pages etc. But when I want to watch a video, it plays about the first 5 seconds, and then stops. It takes a painfully long time for videos to load after that.

I'm using the App and on a good Wifi connection. It's happening quite a lot. A few days a week infact.

Is it happening for you lot too?

[NerveAgent]

Nope. Works fine on 3G too.

[North West Tom]

Hmm, strange. It's so fking annoying.

OK, don't shoot me down on this - but..... have you tried resetting your iphone?
The cache can get built up and will slow the connections.

Turn off completely, make a five-barred gate from some string (preferably your shoe laces,) admire, then turn your iphone back on.

It might also be worth while installing a free app called Scan.
This cleans out your memory usage.

Sometimes putting your iphone into aeroplane mode (yes, the correct spelling is used!) Leave it in until your carrier details vanish, then turn it off.
Once reconnected, try loading YouTube.

I have an iPod Touch.

It seems to be working fine now. When I tried it yesterday, my brother was on the xbox/xbox live. Now, there's nobody on it. Do you think this is affecting it?

[wizbit]

:-D Definitely!
He'll have the xbox wired into the router, which eats the bandwidth!

General web browsing will also slow down when that damn xbox live is turned on.
Log onto the router, and kick him off :-)
