Problems with streaming videos randomly restarting using Chrome

Has anyone else had problems with videos randomly stopping during playback and returning to the beginning? I'm using Chrome on a PC and have had this problem for maybe 1/3 of all the videos I've watched. Normally, I'm aware of where I am in the video so finding my place again isn't difficult, it's just annoying to have to do it so often. There have been a few times when I returned to where I was to finish the video, but wasn't given credit for watching it in my track.

I've cleared my cache and done the usual stupid browser tricks but I'm still having the error.

I haven't tried another browser yet, but if it keeps happening I might have to.

Thanks!

I'm having the same issue here - turned off extensions, updated Chrome etc...nothing works. About to try Firefox and see how that goes.

Same problem here. And it almost always happens if I pause a video for let's say 2 minutes or so and then want to let it play further. It will then play for 5 - 10 seconds and restart from the beginning. Also randomly. But that happened only like 1/4 to 1/5 of the videos I have watched

It's happening to me as well. I temporarily disabled Ad Block and it's doing the same thing. I'll try Firefox as well and see if that clears it up.
