How do I stop video from crashing?

Most times I start a video, the video starts, then stops after a couple seconds. I'm on a pc running windows in chrome. I can resolve the problem by disconnecting from my wireless internet access, then reconnect it, and refresh the screen and everything works normal, until I start the next video.

Quite odd, if you 've figured out the problem gets solved once you disconnect/reconnect your wireless connection, It might be indeed a problem with it.

Might sound stupid as question but do you have similar troubles when trying to view videos on other websites such as youtube ?

How good/bad the receiving is with your wifi router ? Sometimes we get disconnected because we hardly receive the waves from where we are... In fact It's just because you are mostly out of scope in this case, or you might be next to the router and have some difficulties to connect just because there are intereferences with others devices, in this case, changing the canal of the router might help as well.

Lastly, but maybe you should try it at first, try another web browser such as Firefox, we never know...

Hope you'll find a solution.
