- To watch youtube videos you need a faster web browser like for example google chrome. You can also use firefox but it's not as fast. Then you need adobe flash player if you don't already have it.
- Since web browsers and adobe flash player use to much cpu usage, a alternative is to download vlc player -> copy youtube internet url -> go to vlc player and go to media tab -> open network stream -> paste url and hit play. (If it's buffering because of your internet connection, make sure no one else is using the internet, also you can click show more options and increase the catching). (If cpu usage is too high, you can use vlc bonus gpu hardware decoding and some other settings).
