Bluzes Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I think FLO is almost there but when watching drum corp any glich can ruin a whole show. They are still limiting the bandwidth somewhat and their ad insertion is intrusive meaning all home buffers are emptied and reloaded. You see that with the constant definition changes going on with the field, takes a few IFrame GOPs (groups of pictures) to stablize. The buffers are also occasionally challenged durning the show when the field looses definition which is somewhat tolerable but can lead to an audio glitch which is unacceptable and still occurs ocassionally. Other streaming sites use cicular buffers that don't interupt the framing as much and have their bandwidth set high enough to avoid pitfalls with the challenging last mile to the home. Check out other streaming sites like Nugs.net where they live stream concerts flawlessly. You also can scan your ticket stub from the show and watch it off the cloud at will. Love to see FLO do that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multi-level home, with main screen on first floor? Trickier, but not impossible. It’s worth the hassle in the long run, trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to always run wired which may or may not be possible in everyone's setup. Thank You CrownBariDad. I am NOT IT savvy. Please explain what you mean by "I always run "wired" which may or may not be possible in everyone's setup. Thanks in advance for any pointers you can share with this "Corps Relic".

Bluzes Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Jumping in to this thread. Your Modem where you get the WiFi password from has ports for direct connections using Ethernet wire & connectors that use the same type connector on each end that will maximize your bandwidth. Easier said than done depending on where each is situated. However for this to help FLO you would also be having issues with other sites that stream video if it's just FLO then follow their help advice about Java Versions and Preferred Browsers. Wi-Fi should handle streaming as long your W-Fi is showing a few bars of reception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not running several wires and ripping up ceilings and floors and walls just to stream a drum corps show. it's been working much better, so i'm fine Edited June 25, 2018 by Jeff Ream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
