Problems streaming

[CorNokZ]

Hey guys

Got a problem streaming and it seems like the problem occoured after I downloaded and installed Avast. Previous I could put on a movie, youtube link or whatever and it would never stop for buffering, but now it is REALLY slow. Takes me hours to load one ep of 20minutes

Just did a speedtest and nothing is wrong with that:

Any ideas? Even when I disable Avast it is still super slow.. Help

I hade this aswell and it's a well know problem with lots of answers. Lemme think/google about it.

Un- install avast and then try again. If this doesn't fix it, then it's another issue, possibly faults with your ISP.

uninstalling Avast did not help.. How can I fix my ISP Ch3t?

 

[- English -]

have you tried it on another computer/device to make sure it isn't your ISP?

 

[Tuthmes]

Ahh I've read it wrong. Thought it was streaming within the LAN.

<waves>

I have the exact same problem on my iPhone apparently..

Your ISP could be throttling that particular type of traffic.

 

[CorNokZ]

But it worked fine a couple of days ago, and my room mate doesn't seem to have the same problems

Already tried emptying my cache and clean up my browsing history

 

[CorNokZ]

Bump, this is killing me

 

[Tuthmes]

Tell your room mate to stop streaming pr0n in HD then.

Roll back to before avast with system restore.

What browser do you use?

 

[CorNokZ]

Using Chrome, but have same problem in FF

 

[Tuthmes]

Hmm. Could it be a Flash thing? Or does streaming in WMP or VLC do the same? Have you tried streaming anything between your room m8 and you (LAN)?

 

[MYstIC G]

Try updating flash.

"Your Google Chrome browser already includes Adobe® Flash® Player built-in. Google Chrome will automatically update when new versions of Flash Player are available."

 

[Tuthmes]

That doesnt mean it couldn't be a Flash issue. Try clicking on a Flash movie and change the settings. Disable/Enable Hardware excelleration. Also see if you have to same problem with silverlight players.

 

[Tuthmes]

Also reinstal the Adobe Flash player (and Active X) under Windows programs.

Aah the disadvantage of using the default Xenforo theme is that you can't see white text!

Yup noticed this aswell.

 

[CorNokZ]

Think the problem is too many users on one network.. Got home last night at around 2am, and didnt have any problems streaming at all

 

[Tuthmes]

Well duh :|

With a connection speed like that the number of people on the network shouldn't be an issue unless there are more than 10 of them all streaming at once. I'm got a 20mb/s connection and I can play Xbox and stream HD on my PC and the missus laptop with no issues. Are you using OpenDNS?
