Problem: Video starts and stops (buffers) during playback?  

If you’re experiencing excessive buffering during playback, it’s probably because your Internet connection cannot support continuous playback of the selected video quality. Switch to “Auto” in the quality menu if available.
 This will allow the player to select the best quality video file to stream. If “Auto” is not available, switch to one of the lower quality options. 
You may also want to try one of the following:
  • Close extra browser tabs or other applications that may be using up your bandwidth.
  • Make sure you’re using the latest version of your browser.

Problem: 

A) Video doesn't display, although audio may be playing in the background
B) Severe video pixelation
C) Whites in videos appear as greys

  2. Go to the "Options" menu and then click "Options" again
