NFPS / Private Too Much buffering at peak times - Very poor Service

IPTV Private Server (NFPS)
absolutely no buffering on 2ø'nd half in any of the 3 mathes, got the whole half on video. oh well i'm switching every now and then between the 3 but focusing on fox sport 1. it was the best match imh no football knowledge opinion.

it almost makes me more annoyed now I could not replicate it lol.

So I finally uploaded the videos I recorded yesterday here it is:
------------------
Video 1: Channel 150 FS1 5 Minute long video, buffered 10 times!
Code:

-----------------
Video 2: Performed Speed Test before this video on the 15mbps connection, then played FS2 for 5 mins and FS1 for 5 Mins, Buffered 12 Times within that 10 minutes!
Code:
 https://vid.me/H31y
--------------
Video 3: Here is where it gets interesting, first 5 minutes of this video is of Free Sports Devil Link of exact same channel FS1 with "ZERO" Buffer, the last 5 minutes of video are of same exact channel but on NFPS with 7 Buffers. ???????
Code:

--------------
Video 4: FS1 - 10 Minute video again with 17 Buffers......
Code:
 https://vid.me/2TmJ
--------------
with this buffer rate the channels I would say were still watchable but ruins the experience of the match.
After the game FS1 and other channels worked buffer-free!

So again why does it only buffer for me with live events? and why only on nfps and not Sports Devil free link showing the same match on the same channel at the same time ? This is where I stand currently, The buffering in these videos was not as bad as I experienced with couple other live events prior to this so imagine if the channel is watchable or not with more buffering than this...

Again I opened this thread to compare this with others, hopefully something is done to cope with this, not here to whine like many other, and some mods have assured that the team knows this and is working on it....so I rest my case here and wish the team nothing but best! thanks for everyone who left some feedback.

Edit: Running Kodi 15.2 with stalker client 0.8.4 on 15mbps DSL connection on PC.
Same thing happens at my other house for me on my Fire TV Stick with same kodi and stalker on 25mbps Cable internet.

Hello, as you can see with the Sport Devil feed it uses ACC audio then with Stalker they use MPEG2 Audio stream and that is where all the problem started when they switched a bunch of their streams to MPEG2 audio from AAC and MP3. A lot of our devices have issues decoding the MPEG 2 streams, FireTV, AMlogic, etc ... but the Nvidia's don't have an issue decoding it.
They need to switch back their streams to AAC or MP3 for us users that can't spend $300 - $400 on a TV Box.

While I agree with you and with the new MPEG2 audio I have experienced more buffering than before BUT for me...I have been getting the same results even with ACC audio before they switched, live events have been same for me even before MPEG2.
 
I sympathize with you, but I ask you to pay attention to headend equip. probs and also the security implementation issues. These both affect the level of service. The equip. being replaced is much more specialized than going to Best Buy for a router. When it's posted that it's back-ordered means just that, it has to be built and to the providers specs. So once again I ask that you all have patience, progress is being made as I type this. If you follow the forums and read between the lines this should be more obvious to you, have faith the system will return full force and with a bang!!...thks for your time....:cool:

Hi, I don't have any problems waiting for them to upgrade their systems because I love the idea of no Cable bill :) but I just hope that they still take into consideration us low budget folk that can't spend $300 on a TV box and to accommodate us and possibly have an option for us users to maybe select what server we connect too in the software. 1 server with MPEG2 decoding and higher video quality for the users that have high-end tv boxes and 1 server with AAC/MP3 lower video quality streams for us users that have the low-end budget tv boxes :) just a suggestion

all I can tell you is the probs are being addressed even as I type. Don't know which $300 dollar boxes you're referring to because they are not necessary to enjoy the service..

what live ufc are you talking about? Macgraggor vs siver was in January 2015, there was no live fight yesterday or today. It was a replay of that fight. His biggest fight is Tomorrow and will be on PPV: UFC 194, like we had been waiting. Most likely on Channel 455 and 417 BT Sports 2.

You can compare my 2 last videos with your 2nd half, because I was at work and could not record the first 15 minutes of the 1st half, but there is not much to compare as yours did not buffer and when you watch my videos you will see a lot of buffering lol
 
I don't game, and nvidia is the only box (vs m8s, nexus, fire) other than a pc that can somewhat keep up to this service (the 10 channels that don't buffer).

worth every dime!

the fact that it plays psp, ps1, ps2, n64, gamecube , wii , sega , nes , snes, dreamcast and every other platform before 1999 is just a bonus. don't knock it til you try it with this service. its day and night with one of these things... the 40w psu is a huge bonus. 179.00 for the unit + free remote controller + gamepad
