html5: network error

bedouin

I keep getting this annoying "html: network error" when I'm in the middle of watching a lesson. It's always almost halfway, lol ><". I'm using chrome. Is this something wrong with the site or with my computer? Is anyone else getting these messages?

Getting a tad exasperated. Just when JY gets to the juicy parts...

I'm getting that too with Chrome. I'm assuming it's transient, so not stressing too much. My work-around is to navigate away from the lesson page, then return. When I restart, I fast-forward to where I was. But, yes, annoying.

Sorry guys! We are aware of this issue and are trying to fix it. HTML5 is brand new technology so there are bugs that are hard to work out. That or we're taking stupid pills.

A couple of ways to trigger the error or sure (in other words, avoid doing these):
1. slow internet connection
2. multiple tabs with video loading simultaneously, which contributes to (1)

Meanwhile, you can prevent this from happening (at a trade off):
Go to your "Setting" on the top right.
Check the box that says "Use Flash Player (prevents html5 video errors)"

The flash player is not as good, but it won't give you HTML5 errors.

See if this method works..it does 90% of the time for me...so at the beginning of every lesson, I let the video run for 5 secs and then pause it, it buffers and does not give the error...

The same thing always happened to me using Chrome. Try Firefox, thus far that has not happen.

We just put in a fix that we hope will help with this (only applies to lesson videos right now).

Please try it out and let us know if it helps!
