Hi there! I see you're experiencing video freezing problems with the Odysee app on your Windows device using a WebKit browser. To help you better, could you tell me a bit more about when this freezing happens? For example:
- Does the video freeze right after starting or after some time?
- Is it only on certain videos or all videos?
- Are you using the Odysee web app through your browser or a standalone Odysee app?
- Have you noticed if your internet connection seems stable while watching?

Meanwhile, I can share some general steps to address video freezing on Odysee:

1. Check Your Internet Connection: Even if your connection is generally good, try pausing and waiting for the video to buffer a bit before playing again, since buffering issues can cause freezing.

2. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: Sometimes cached data can interfere. In your WebKit browser on Windows 10, go to settings and clear browsing data especially cached images and files.

3. Update Your Browser: Make sure your WebKit-based browser is updated to the latest version.

4. Try Lower Video Quality: If Odysee offers quality options, try lowering it to reduce bandwidth use which can help prevent freezing.

5. Disable Browser Extensions: Sometimes extensions can interfere with video playback; try disabling them temporarily to check.

6. Restart Your Device: A simple reboot can sometimes clear up temporary glitches.

If this doesn’t help, there have been reports of Odysee videos freezing with audio continuing to play, where seeking backward briefly unfreezes video—does that match your experience? If yes, that could be a known app/browser compatibility issue that might require an update or alternative playback method4.

Let me know more about your situation, and we can dive deeper! Are you satisfied with what I shared so far?
