Whenever I watch a 1080p video, it runs smoothly and never buffers, the gray bar leaving the red bar in the dust.

But as soon as I switch to 1440p or higher, only recently, ive been stuck in buffering hell.

My problem though, is that, about 3/8's of the video is already loaded (according to the gray bar)

Here's an example: http://prntscr.com/d6y1re

It didn't work, it stops at a point and seems to buffer endlessly.

Also, I was already using the html5 player, I did it anyway just to make sure though.
