Laaaaggyy stream.

[iDactyl]

So for the past few days I've been intensely watching the TLN stream. Only problem is that it is super choppy and laggy for me. It'll play for 3 seconds, pause for a second, play for another 3, and then keep pausing. It's almost as if it has to keep buffering. I know this isn't my internet connection, I have 11 down and 2 up.

I'm using Firefox on Windows 7.

Have you tried clearing your browser's cookies and resetting your router?

[boneill92]

I get the the same thing and I don't think its my connect because I have a way above average connection plus streams on jtv run fine for me so idk what it is

[Justin21]

fine for me, try clearing cookies, if not then you isp is whats wrong.

[SaucyNomad]

I have been having the same experience. Every other stream I view on the internet is fine, except for TLN's, which is very laggy for me. I switched to Google Crome and it helped somewhat, not much.

Same issue here. Never had an issue with TLN stream but the past two LANs have had the stream pause every 5 or so seconds. Cleaned cookies, everything else runs fine, ran speedtest.net, and tried other browsers. Open to any other ideas.

[boneill92]

ya ive also cleared everything and reseted router. i dont know

[iDactyl]

Yeah same ^^. Nothing seems to work.

[MidKnight]

check touter or use a different website browser

[boneill92]

Tried all man, my guess is my connection with tln cause I can run streams on jtv just fine

[boneill92]

I get smoother play from my phone lol and I doubt its my comp since I've tried the other 2 in the house and get same thing

You guys have to make sure that you can pull about 2-3Mbit/s from your internet connection if you watch camera and POV at the same time.

You can test your internet connection on speedtest.net but make sure you selected Chicago, IL as your test server. Then do pingtest.net and share both results here.

I am having the same exact problem and I have tried just about everything I can think of.

Ah, my wonderful internet.
And to think people thought I was lying about how bad it is.
This is why I can't watch any kind of streams.

[gazurk]

Maybe your computer is slow?

[Teamwe]

Reset router, clear cache and use chrome. Thats what i do to watch any stream MLG or TLN.

[Crinkly Duke]

Definitely not my connection unless the upload is the issue.

Okay I figured out the problem, you need to download the latest flash player plugin and then it sure work fine.

Like just update adobe?

[Sinstar94]

It's a little choppy for me, but overall it's not too bad. It doesn't happen as frequently to me as some other people on here apparently.

[iHade]

This is the only stream i have problems watching everything else runs fine>:(

I installed this and now my stream works fine, I suggest trying it.

[iDestiny]

I've found that after about a minute it stops cutting out for me, but if I open the interactive fantasy or change POV it lags again, so I have to do that on a different computer.

[Crinkly Duke]

Just for anyone looking, if you click the link below you will see your current flash player version. Make sure you update. I was way out of date, but either way this didn't help. Going to check out that thing from evilryu.

EDIT: Nevermind his link is just the flash player update. Oh well off to find more things to check. Can't believe something like this just starts happening. Stream has always been fine for me until last LAN I believe.

EDIT 2: Seems the media videos do this for me as well. Anyone else check those to see if you are getting the same kind of thing? On those though it throws the loading circle in the middle. Site also seems to be taking forever to just load a page. All other sites are loading fine. Maybe it'll be better in the morning.

Noticed that during the tournament, now that there are only two available streams, I have no issues with the stream. I haven't messed with anything since the last time I posted.

[HEA7]

if it was the finals, that is why...
I thought that the reason the stream had become so laggy was due to the fact that so many more people were watching the stream then usual
