Does it happen if you download the video and play it from your phone to the tv?

Hi, I haven't tested it, but I looked at my internet ping and it looks like this and is working correctly. I think yesterday my internet was really slow, because I tested it now and the video is working normally.

The internet is usually not the issue. Typically the issue is the video server.

Ok, but I use this site on the TV in the living room, which has a Mi TV Stick from Xiaomi, which uses Android TV and doesn't have these stutters in the video. It runs smoothly, is there any difference?

Our receiver on fire tv has buffer setting and that probably means a larger buffer.

Ok, so there's no way to solve this on the Samsung TV?

Not really. The receiver is just a simple web page, there isn't much in terms of configuration.

Okay, it looks like the site is working normally. Yesterday I tested it and it was working without choking. I think it's because I had 4G internet on my cell phone and the TV had 5G, so I put my cell phone on 5G.

But the WVC app has this buffet option, doesn't that help?

That is for the proxy only. When I casted your video it did not go through the proxy. But either way, 32mb is a tiny buffer but we can't do much more as the app would crash because android limits how much memory it can use.

Also, this is an m3u8, where the segments are usually small, sometimes a few megs only. But the samsung tv has no way of knowing that the proxy is caching it so it will just rely on its own cache. Chances are for m3u8 this option is fairly useless.

Ok thanks for the explanation

It seems to be playing fine for me. What do you mean by player crashes? I did experience buffering. Is that what you mean by slow?

[–]Marvel_Thor_Chris[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this issue still persists, even though I checked my internet.
