My stream was far too buffery to watch unfortunately…..couldn’t find the settings thing to switch the latency..shame.

    Phil-McRackin can you describe your broadband speed and if you were competing with other devices and people on the network? Plus what you watched on? Was trying more quality risking some users networks finding it too much.

        Phil-McRackin Gotcha. I was sending you 5.5mb/s causing the jumpiness. We were warned to keep it between 3mb/s and 4.5 if we can because some people just need it under 5.

            NasserAlazzawi ok cheers, am used to a little jumpiness early on but usually ok after a little while but it was unwatchable…think I heard about a minute of music the 45 mins I was trying!

                Worked perfectly for me Nass. Mate I wish you could have seen the look of horror / bewilderment on the faces of my kids when you told them to behave. Fucking gold

                  Old-Dutch oh mate I forgot this happened! Imagine someone on the radio suddenly telling you to behave it must have been a head bender 😆

                    What was interesting for me is - I’ve never had that many ‘views’ (total number of those who click on, and click off after half an hour or whatever) - we hit 360 views in total but the ‘viewing now’ number went past 50 and stayed there for a long time last week, compared to this week where we sat between 35 to 49 but went back down to just over 40.

                    Which means a percentage of people joined and left.

                    Mind you, my mixing was quite off last night as I haven’t been practising properly for weeks so maybe they got sick of me riding the jogwheel or the buffering was too bad.

                    Thanks for letting me know about the buffering as for someone like you who helpfully raises it, there are probably dozens who move on without saying anything or just assume their internet is the problem when it’s me. I have knocked the settings back down based on this mate - the visual gains were minimal anyway and it’s important to me that everyone just has a good time.

                    I’m off for a practise!

                        NasserAlazzawi I rarely stay for the whole show. I’ve usually got things to be doing on a Sunday. I wouldn’t take people coming and going as a sign that they aren’t enjoying it.

                            Matt Oh yeah mate I agree with you - what I mean is it seems like without crunching proper numbers, a bigger proportion came and left this Sunday so I was wondering if Buffering (or my mixing..) put them off. Buffering is something people stick with on average for about 90 seconds trying to fix before they give up apparently.

                                NasserAlazzawi Ah… I get you. I didn’t experience any buffering. I did notice the video quality looked a bit better, Not that there was anything wrong with it previously.

                                  NasserAlazzawi being someone who shares bandwidth with others, I’d personally choose stream reliability over video quality every time. As Matt has already said above, I actually thought the quality was great even before you started tinkering.

                                  Much fun as always this Sunday mate. Sorry I had to duck out early to watch the football. Going to watch the last 30 mins on catch-up tonight.

                                  Cheers for the weekly entertainment 😎
