Is Java the reason my video playback is very choppy?
@aac9929fa29b0ee1bdb21956447d40fb:disqus There could be many reasons for choppy video playback! Try the following:
1. Try disabling unnecessary plug-ins/add-ons.
2. Update the Java plug-in and Adobe flash player to latest version
2. Switch to a different web browser( may be Google Chrome?) and check if the issue persists.
Verry, very, very, very, very, VERY little chance that it is caused by it.
Thanks for sharing this information and guidelines for disabling Java, just one question will i be able to watch online videos?
@jacob0russell:disqus Adobe Flash Player is what you usually need in order to watch online videos on most of the video streaming websites, such as YouTube, Hulu, etc.
Now, if only I could stop my mom from freaking out everytime she sees javaSCRIPT…
Yes, I know it sounds the same. So do ‘butter’ and ‘gutter’, but I wouldn’t put the latter on a sandwich!
In the same way, when cybercriminals discovered the security flaw in Java plug-ins, they started exploiting it to infect computers and fulfill their malicious intents.
Amazing submit admin thank you. I located what i used to be in search of here. I’ll review entire of posts on this evening
