I am using Ubuntu 18.04, I am not able to stream any video in the browser from youtube, udemy or any other site, I have tried chrome and firefox. Although the video is loading the only issue is with streaming.

    Can you please explain what do you mean by "the video is loading but not streaming"? In my mind they're the same thing. Dec 12, 2018 at 12:31
  • @spacelander: I mean it's downloading the data but not able to stream it. I can see data loaded (buffered) on progress bar but it is always loading icon on video.I am not able to play. Dec 13, 2018 at 13:34

  • Also it would be wise to point out that clicking at any point on the timeline of the video shows the picture of the video with no actuall video playing. In my case all that have to be streammed does not work, video, audio.

Install the ubuntu-restricted-extras. It contains the necessary codecs.
