Viewing on Tablet with ICS?
I'm having trouble viewing videos using my Android tablet with ICS. The video starts and immediately ends as if the video was watched in its entirety. I'm using the Chrome browser. Any suggestions?

Hi Chris,
I cleared the Chrome cache but nothing changed. I also rebooted the tablet, still no luck.
What I see: when I click a video in the "Watch" page, I see the viewer start, the screen shows the fuzzy grey image of the play icon (2 actually, one overlayed above the other) and then immediately the "Play next video" dialogue appears. From here I have tried various things:
If I touch "replay" the dialogue disappears and immediately reappears.
If I return to the "Watch" page, it shows that the video has been viewed.
If there's any additional info I can send you, please let me know.

Hi Bob,
We just discovered an issue with a few of the videos that might have been causing this problem. Would you mind clearing your caches and giving it another try? If there's still an issue, would you mind taking a screenshot and sending it my way?
Thank you!
Chris
HI Bob,
I don't currently have an ICS device to test with, but I did test on a Nexus tablet with Jelly Bean (4.1) and it seems to be working good. If the interface works properly and it's just that the video is super short, it could be that Chrome has caches partial versions of the videos, and you might solve the problem by clearing the browser's caches.
If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll see if I can get my hands on a device with ICS.
Thank you!
Chris
