Common Video Playback Errors
Here are some common issues students face when watching videos on BananaThai School:
Video not loading or buffering continuously
Error messages such as "Video playback error"
Low-quality video streaming
No sound or muted video
Follow the steps below to troubleshoot these issues.
1. Check Your Internet Connection
A slow or unstable internet connection is one of the most common reasons for video playback issues.
Solution:
Ensure that your device is connected to a stable internet connection.
For the best experience, we recommend a minimum download speed of 5 Mbps for standard definition and 15 Mbps for high-definition videos.
Test your internet speed by searching "internet speed test" on Google.
2. Refresh or Restart Your Browser
Sometimes, refreshing the browser or restarting it can resolve temporary issues.
Solution:
Try refreshing the page.
Close your browser completely and reopen it, then log back into your account.
Clear your browser's cache and cookies. This helps get rid of any stored data that might be interfering with video playback.
3. Use a Different Browser
Certain browser settings or extensions can interfere with video playback.
Solution:
Recommended browsers: Use the latest versions of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari.
Try watching the video in Incognito mode or Private browsing mode to disable extensions that might be causing the issue.
Disable ad blockers or privacy extensions as they can prevent videos from playing correctly.
4. Check for Device or Browser Updates
An outdated browser or operating system can also cause playback problems.
Solution:
Make sure your browser and operating system are up to date. Install any pending updates for your browser or device.
If you’re using a mobile device, ensure that you’re running the latest version of your device's operating system.
5. Adjust Video Quality Settings
If videos are buffering, adjusting the quality settings may help.
Solution:
In the video player, click the gear icon (⚙️) in the lower-right corner and select a lower quality (e.g., 720p or 480p).
Reducing the quality can help improve performance on slower connections.
6. Try a Different Device
If you continue to experience issues, it could be related to your device's compatibility.
Solution:
Try watching the video on a different device, such as a tablet, smartphone, or another computer.
7. Disable VPN or Proxy
If you are using a VPN or proxy, it may affect video playback by slowing down your connection.
Solution:
Temporarily disable any VPN or proxy services and try watching the video again.
8. Contact Support
If none of the above solutions work, there may be an issue with the video itself or the platform. Contact the BananaThai School support team for further assistance.
