no buffering here. love the quality when my gf watch discovery id. so its not the server the bitrate is much higher ~2.5Mbit vs ~0.8Mbit SD.


this is for the kodi users.
try download psycon's advancedsettings.xml if it buffers a very short time setting the 8 secs post buffer up could help, it did for my friend.

you can also copy/paste this and put in /userdata/advancedsettings.xml you will probably have to create the file, notepad is fine. this is what I used for my friend:
Code: 
<advancedsettings>

   <pvr>
      <minvideocachelevel>75</minvideocachelevel>
      <minaudiocachelevel>75</minaudiocachelevel>
      <cacheindvdplayer>true</cacheindvdplayer>
   </pvr>

   <network>
      <readbufferfactor>20.0</readbufferfactor>
   </network>

</advancedsettings>

also try press 'o' while the stream is running and monitor vq: its located after the framerate fr:59.940 and the buffer, keeping 75% data in the buffer does not give it time to reach 0 but only if the buffering is very short like very tiny stops ie the vq/buffer drops to 0 then rises to 99% again fast.
for the guy I know it kept it not falling below 20% and fluctuating up and down which is fine.

the other option has been mentioned, try a vpn.

Try CNN or Fox News...using windows pc Kodi 15.2 Using Stalker Client NFPS 0.84. Using Datho VPN and tried every region in US. Have been buffering since it all came back..Unwatchable
I changed the advanced settings as suggested but did not work.

I just tried 4-5 mins each, works fine here. cnn still running.
if you have longer buffering than half a second to a second the file will not work. :/

EDIT: btw. I am not using any advancedsettings.xml file.

I'm in the north east, been watching for 4 hrs without even a hiccup. Maybe try a different VPN? The server has been running flawless today so there's got to be another issue going on. Also the more people using an ISP provider throughout the day seems to cause issues for people with buffering it seems like.. So maybe that's the issue? Less people were on this morning when you were using it???

OK ...Restarted pc and kodi of course.....deleted cache..only 5 files...but were 131 packages and deleted them and it seems to have corrected the problem some...still having some quick spurts of buffering but very watchable.

thx

Even with VPN it's buffering like crazy the new HD channels on kodi. The SD channels and the Pac 12 channels (HD) are the only that it's fine.

Just checked my Kodi setup.. Running wireless and checked both cnn and fox and both are running without any issues. I have been reading that some have been having issues with buffering on the new HD channels using Kodi.. But I haven't had any issue yet. Running Kodi 16.0 RC3

Well, I already tried everything. I really don't know why channels from other addons here with the same video quality works fine and this new channels from iptv66 don't.

As I said, even the pac 12 channels (and they're 720p) from iptv66 works great, except this new ones.

You can't compare other addons to this service unless they are going to the same server this service is... The addon that you are using that works is most likely hosted in a different part of the world so comparing YouTube or anything else has no bearing on it...

And the Pac 12 channels on this same server? They are 720p too and works great.

What I'm saying is you had said"everything. I really don't know why channels from other addons here with the same video quality works fine and this new channels from iptv66 don't. "
You can't compare others addons or service to this service as they are most likely hosted in different parts of the world. Many of us tested the new HD channels and have zero issues so there has to be something else going on

I understand. I hope it's something on the server. I'm from Brazil, maybe it's something they have to fix for people from some countries.

Same issue, since the maintenance on the 25th of April, all the HD channels are not watchable either audio is not synced or buffering
Ad channels work perfect as before
