Default Video on the Web

Hello, someone can watch videos on this page? http://www.eatyourkimchi.com/kpopcharts/
Is a site with music videos from youtube. With the default browser z2, I can see them but go soo slow, and rarely if I go to youtube I can not see anything. Download skyfire and can not be played directly.
Any ideas? with opera I can not see them.

Unless you have a dual core or quad core device (ie Tablets preferably and most likely the ONLY devices to do so) or at least a better A8 or A9 processor (which the z2 has the cheapest, crappiest A8 on the market), you aren't going to see smooth video playback period on the youtube website or most websites in general on the z2 due to the crappy hardware inside and/or buggy firmware. I can't advise a video download software either on the z2 as any software (tubemate/adownloader in particular) rips the video through the broken default video player [streams] for some odd reason.

My only advice I can give you is download the youtube app off the Play store and play it off there as it's optimized for video playback no matter how crappy the internals of the z2 or any device are (not kidding, my wifi alarm clock - the Sony Dash - has youtube videos running fine through the youtube app and I know it's using really outdated hardware).

In particualar, I don't bother with video on my z2, I generally use my Quad core tablet (Asus Transformer series) which has no problems with any video streaming/downloading or any video I throw at it in general. The z2 in my opinion is great at only audio streaming/downloading, audio files playback in general, social features, and some bit of web surfing and news consumption (and a game or two). Cell phones and PMP's with much better tech for less money than the z2 have better odds at anything video playback currently sad to say ...

That ugly read this. With what you pay for it, in my country I just could buy a asus transformer or S2.
I know youtube with the application of the store you can see, but I can not get used.
Thanks for the reply, I did not want to read xD
sorry for my English.

I second on the fact that using the Youtube app from the Google Play market. I can't imagine using anything else to watch videos. Using the default internet browser to do anything else only results in "Cannot stream video" error.
