Help Extremely Agrravating Derpy Video Player

When I try and watch videos online, I get the 'sorry, this video cannot be played message' several times during e.g a 24 minute anime episode... This is extremely annoying for several reasons.
a) The message itself is completely wrong, I can watch the video because I was just watching it... And I'll be able to watch it again once I restart the app (if Im lucky...)
b) I have to constantly track time of video so i know when to play from when it does happen
c) It often crashes the browser (whether default browser or opera mobile) so I have to spend another 5 minutes just to watch the next 1 minute of the episode when it will eventually crash again for no apparent reason at all.

Additionally, often for some reason the video just pauses, and if i try resume i can play for 0.5 seconds then it auto pauses again;as if it was buffering. However since I can watch hq youtube videos via the app perfectly well I dont think its my internet. When it does do the pause thing I have to exit the browser, wait for the page to load again, skip to the time I memorised then rage in anger as the app crashes again, purely because i touched the screen.

Finally, when the sorry video cannot be played message pops up at the very beginning when i press play on the video, then I cant watch it at all until I force close all my apps and re open....

This all leads me to fruitless efforts taking 30 mins, to watch a total of 3 minutes of one episode.

I have searched about this problem a bit, but the only answer ive found is 'reboot your phone' which doesnt help at all....I have also tried using wondershare but I cant even seem to press the play button on the video...

I am looking for a permanent, free fix, whether it's by doing something to the player or downloading a different app or using a different site I don't mind. Please help. Thanks.

Details; using Samsung Galaxy Ace (the i version)
Site Im using to (try) and watch the videos Anime List| AnimeOnHand
 
There are several different video players and internet browsers available in the market, you can try different apps, maybe the app you are using is having a problem and it keeps crashing somehow.
 
Thanks for the reply!
Okee for now Ill just continue scouting apps but if anyone has suggestions for ones that work for them Id appreciate it if you could tell me, thanks
 
Personally i never had this problem when i used the default apps, but i never tried hd videos, and i don't think this phone supports hd videos, correct me if i am wrong, also if you are having problems then you should definitely try other apps.
If this happens on other apps too then the problem is with your phone.
 
I have no idea whether the video im trying to watch is hd or not o.O if it is Ill try making it lower res then thanks :3
And so far the only other app ive used that is a dif video player online doesnt even work at all :S
But Im off to browse the store now thanks xD
