Videos keep stopping

[Lawnsiong]

My videos, you tube and downloaded, stop constantly. I have to keep clicking the start buttons constantly! How to fix?

Most videos stop when they reach the end.

Maybe the videos are not fully supported by the phone. Are they HD or something? Samsung Galaxy S is an eight year old phone now.

Do you mean they buffer? (Show a loading circle)

I have a tablet which is about 3 years old. videos don't buffer.....they just stop about every minute. They work fine on my other tablet and my laptop, so internet connection isn't problem. Thanks!

As you're posting in a Tab S thread, and as @mikedt referred to that's a very dated model (2010), most likely running Gingerbread so along with the OS itself, all its apps will most likely be out of date and unsupported too, creating a situation where doing anything online, browsing or streaming content. will be problematic.
But if you are using a three year old tablet, please clarify just what model it is and which version of Android it's running.

 

[Lawnsiong]

It is model number SM-T705W, Android version 5.0.2 Kernel version 3.4.39-4989511
Knox version 2.3

Ahhh, that makes things a lot clearer (despite Samsung's sometimes silly naming standard)

So is this problem occurring when using WiFi or mobile data, or both? Assuming you're using the Youtube app as opposed to the Youtube site via a browser, on a whim have you tried using your browser just to see if the same problem is happening?
Also, have tried clearing the cache for the Youtube app?

Yes, I've done all that. I think I will do a factory reset......
