Where's my NASCAR...
Come on Guys...
First race of the year !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Capt.Kangaroo]

#TheClash is postponed because of rain at Daytona International Speedway. Will be run Sunday at 11 a.m. and televised live on FS1.

 

[Farmer1]

The rain really sucks for nascar. In nov 2015 we where at nascar in sunny Phoenix AZ, they dried the track 5 times before the race raced finely started at 7pm only to get rained out before the end

BUFFERING = FREEZING EVERY OTHER SECOND, UNWATCHABLE

SOME FREEZING= EVERY 10 SECONDS OR SO

OK = HARDLY ANY IF ANY FREEZING AT ALL

SPINNING WHEEL = WON'T EVEN LOAD WHEN CLICKED ON TWICE

GREAT = NOT ANY FREEZING AT ALL.

TESTED FIRST 100 CHANNELS, THEN SOME RANDOM ENGLISH ONES THEN FOREIGN LANGUAGE ONES I NEVER USE.

BEEN LIKE THIS FOR A FEW HOURS.

RUNNING KODI 16.1 ON NVIDIA SHEILD ON A WIRED CONNECTION. IPTV66 DONATION. NOBODY ELSE USING MY WIFI CONNECTION, ONLY ME.

PEOPLE SAY WATCH SOMETHING ELSE BUT WHEN I CAN'T GET ALMOST 100 CHANNELS TO WORK. THAT'S NOT RIGHT.

I'M WATCHING DRAGONS DEN NOW ON BBC2, FILMON. NOT A FREEZE OR BUFFER IN SIGHT. PICTURE QUALITY 480. WHO CARES? IT WORKS

PLEASE PLEASE IMPROVE YOUR SERVICE. MY LIST SHOWS HD CHANNELS DON'T WORK WHEN IT'S BUSY TIMES.

 

[greg]

most channels you mention working fine here no buffering

 

[Freed]

What set up do you have?

 

[crazed 9.6]

no buffering is seen here either, especially not what you have listed.
You are making the server look like chit with this kinda posting.
Channels do not buffer as this list shows, not for me and I check often most channels.

mag254

 

[Freed]

You asked me to list the channels that I have a problem with so I have. It's was fine until about 4 hours ago. It took me an hour to go through them.

Strange how the higher number foreign channels work OK.

Is a mag better than an nvidia shield?
I use the built in stalker client in kodi.

This kind of posting is what I have been asked to do. Seems like I can't win.

What can I do?
What are your suggestions?

 

[tonyi1000]

I just checked a few of what was posted. It looks as though most were repaired and working.
Excellent Job IKS66!!!!!

 

[Freed]

Actually agreed, some have sparked into life.

Still I better learn Spanish as a back up.

Adios

 

[Freed]

I was hoping to get some responses saying either:

Yes I am experiencing something similar

Or

No, it must be my problem

 

[crazed 9.6]

this is how it goes thou Freed.
Members post on how all their channels are freezing or not working. Not just a few but all of them.
This happens everyday that someone posts this. In actuallity the server is only responsible for freezing a low percentage f the time.
But the posts come and people are adamant that it is server issue. Some even so that they will diminish the server with their posts and comments in such a way that others see that and flee the site and the service.
I see that happen lots.

So if you understand where I am coming from, you will see that I am protecting our services from unfair reports.

Report your troubles , but reporting every channel as others do too... and continuously do while it is seen everyday that the channels are working fine, with some excepptions.
Really, every channel ?

See what I mean?

have you seen all the possible fixes for freezing ?
Acceleration and the many other ideas about the issue ?

 

[ilan]

I just went through 10, chosen at random from those listed as buffering, and gave them each a 5 minute viewing. None buffered at all during the testing period.

E4
Lieftime
Cooking
SYFY
A&E
Oxygen
ESPN US
Bravo
National Geo Wild
ID

 

[Freed]

I have seen all the fixes. I have played with the acceleration settings. I have tweaked the cache size and read buffer factor settings. Fresh installs, resets. Sometimes a little improvement.

I have been with you guys two years and I can say without a doubt, I personally see a decline in the way the channels freeze in the last two months. Not all the time. Definitely peak times. I don't want to repeat myself about offering these HD channels in the older SD quality. Is it even been considered?

I would guess that most of the people that use this good service are English speaking, either UK, USA or Canadian, wouldn't it be preduent to keep them on your side by offering the old SD channels along with the HD ones?

I run three businesses and never have I seen something that makes more business sense.

For $80 I don't expect HD, glorious as it is. I just want to watch a little Fast N Loud, I need to know how much little grandma's 19th century figurine on Cash in the attic is worth, I want to rejoice in people discovering forgotten treasures in Storage wars then laugh when it's worthless tat, I need to go on the journey with Hoffman crew, who sometimes come across as a little deluded and listen to Tony Beets swear every other word in Gold Rush. These are the things in life that we ask, with a minor buffer here and there.

131 AMC Dark

Another week and again AMC is dark....

 

[1sikguy]

Here we go again!!!

With the upcoming UFC fight on Sunday....Stalker fails to deliver again... BOTH UFC Network Channels[155 and 861] are buffering again. These channels always fail at fight time!
This has been happening every week for months

 

[ilan]

I just watched UFC Network HD 155 (in Spanish) for 6 minutes. There was no buffering during that period. I can't say what will happen at fight time, but it was streaming without issue after you posted your message.

 

[juan_vale]

I just checked ilan's list and this is what I get, I have dsl @ 5Mb... my findings are in red...
DNL = DID NOT LOAD
SB = SLIGHT BUFFERING
B = BUFFERING

I just went through 10, chosen at random from those listed as buffering, and gave them each a 5 minute viewing. None buffered at all during the testing period.

E4 OK
Lieftime DNL
Cooking SB
SYFY B
A&E SB
Oxygen OK
ESPN US OK
Bravo OK
National Geo Wild OK
ID = OK
