10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1………buffering

Sound idea and a great cause. Will definitely be sticking this on the telly. 📺️

Signed up last night for this.

Never had any buffering on Mixcloud. Surely people need to look at their own setups?

The only issue last night was he forgot to plug his laptop charger in!

    It’s got nothing to do with people’s setups. Can stream on any other platform without a single issue.

        Echo It’s strange to that is never misses a beat for most people but does for the odd few.

            Hursty I’d say the opposite is true, buffers for most. There’s always plenty of complaining in the chat during the stream also. Prob comes from Mixcloud, like there’s too much traffic on the server.

            Last night was his best in while, despite the odd buffer here and there.

                The stream isn’t rate-adaptive unlike all the other platforms to allow for glitches, bottlenecks or throttling etc. I really don’t see the point in serving up 1080/720p video of a pair of CDJ’s, the occasional pair of hands and some kids dancing in the background 480p is more than suffice. The chat functionality will definitely have an impact on the streaming too.

                  Kumquat I’d be the first person to vote for binning the chat function. It only attracts the bottom feeders.

                    LT42 Mixcloud need to have a word with their cloud service provider then, surely they aren’t hosting everything on prem .

                      I’m in and also managing to get the mrs out for NYE for this one, if only to the kitchen. Although I have signed a good behaviour order.
