Anyone else think the old video player was better? With this new one, it takes like 3 clicks on the play button just to get it to start playing and it also, for me, it takes longer to load videos. With the old one I could press play once and watch a video from start to finish without any buffer hiccups, but with this new one it just seems a lot clunkier and unresponsive. I know it's been "new" for a while now, but it's just gotten to the point of annoyance where I begin to wonder if anyone else is having problem with it.

Yeah, I never had buffer problems with the old one and I do with this one. 
 
Think I like though are double-click=full screen click=play/pause and the outline isn't so FUCKING HUGE.

although i also have the problem with clicking to play i still like the new one better.
 
p.s. hit the streaming button, it will load quicker, the other button is loads the entire video.

I think the new video player is kind of nice but I really don't like the fact that it takes 3 clicks to start the video. I can agree though that the old video player was a lot more responsive.

I agree that the play button needs to be clickier. I'm never sure if I clicked it or not. It runs smooth for me, though, with the old player giving me a lot more trouble.

It doesn't take a few clicks to work for me just wait a few seconds after clicking and it will start.

I like the new one because of the streaming. 
The old one was like sooooo 1997.. 
But I guess if that's all ones internet could handle without any errors then they should put that back in... 
Oh wait, they have

I like this new one better due to the option of Streaming, and, because of my resolution, I could never make the progress bar go away fully on the old player. Now I can watch my vids in true full-screen!

My only issue is having to click play twice.  I prefer the new one because I like being able to stream videos.

*Pro-Tip: You only have to click the play button one time. It will start eventually, just takes a second. (At least for me...)

Well, not having to wait for the video to buffer is kind of awesome, and it outweighs the annoyance of a half second wait for the play button to work, so I'm good.

I have yet to have a problem with the steaming. Though it does take two clicks, which is kind of odd but I got used to it.

The fact that I can pick where I want to start playing in the video makes it a better video player. It's making my re watch of the Endurance Run FAR more tolerable.

i don't really care about the look of it or being able to click anywhere to play/pause, but videos seem to be loading slower than before and lately i've been getting the player's seek bar filling up though the video hasn't loaded. this used to happen on the old one too but very rarely. i'm hoping it's just my internet, so we'll see.

i don't like the fact that i have to load the video from scratch when i wanna watch it again. I load these videos up from work and watch it when i get home. bummer when i have to load it all up over when i just want to see it one more time.
