Why do my videos stop playing every five seconds?

[AC Question]

Videos stop playing every five seconds

I used to be able to watch videos just fine on my galaxy tab s 10.5 tablet. About two weeks ago the videos started freezing after about 5 seconds. I don't think it's buffering because it doesn't start playing again and the only way to get it to play is to fast forward, even if only a second, at which point it'll freeze again after 5 seconds. Rinse, repeat. Does anyone know what could be the problem?

I've had that once in a while - on my desktop. The solution was to wait a while (like a day or two). Sometimes the problem really is on the other end.

But it does that for all videos, from different websites. And I was out of state last week, using a different WiFi and still same thing

Edit: sorry, it was my question, for some reason it didn't sign me in first time
