- exprL 12y agoThe Flash-based player would do exactly the same (with a slight delay) even if it wasn't as obvious from the UI. To prevent YouTube from switching sources when resizing the content, select a specific quality first (it defaults to “Auto”). I wouldn't be surprised if there were browser extensions that automatically do this (e.g. always choose the highest quality).
- Ntrails 12y agoI think the flash player doesn't change quality on resize and thus was able to keep using buffered quality? I switched to forcing HTML a while ago so can't test. Either way, I'll try that - thank you :)
