Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the VODS to load smoother? It looks like I'm buffered about a minute ahead, but I'm getting stutters unless I pause for a few minutes, very frustrating.

I think that is partially the quality of the vods (c'mon justin give use SQ vods) and also some issues with the justin-europe connectivity. My connection should handle the HQ vods easily but the vods take longer to load than it takes for me to download a dvd

You could use IRC directly to load the chat, and then use the methods listed in the OP to have the chat not loaded from the stream itself.

Voila! Chat + video without the crappy Flash Lag that is caused by the JTV embedded flash chat applet.

I( was having lag issues the first night and tried all of these things the OP had suggested. I found with the best results for a non laggy 1080p stream.

I had moved the processing for Firefox and from the main 2 cores and i also saw that the process "plugin-container.exe*32" to a different core from what firefox was running on. This cleaned up my lag on the stream considerably, and for good measure I closed all windows open and just left the pop out video window open and I noticed the the stream loaded faster as well if it lagged it was not very long or bad at 1080p.

I hope this helps anyone else who is having issues

Good to know it is helping people.

Quoting and taking the opportunity to bump it, since NASL is starting now and people may need to see this.

And a note to all, keep an eye on the OP, even if you read that before, because I lost count of how many edits I put into it already.

yea I wish there was SQ VODs. I bought the NASL pass thinking that there were and it's pretty much unwatchable for me =(

On my end the stream seems a bit better quality, mostly audio. So it is taking more bandwidth than usual... May that is it?

I had a weird situation with the NASL day 2 EU broadcast.

At frist, I tuned in and it stuttered and lagged as usual. People were complaining on TL IRC, so I wasn't alone with it. I quit and watched something alse.

Later, I decided to try it again. There was iNcontrol vs Ensnare and it lagged. Suddenly the stream went offline for me. I pressed F5, the stream restarted and it was crystal clear quality. Must have been at least 720p with about 350 KB/s on my traffic meter.
Suddenly, at this high quality, the stream went smooth. Everything was fine to the end of the show.

I have no idea what happened and why but it's pretty weird.

LoL, UStream works perfectly fine for me and Justin.TV sucks for me . Was going to suggest moving to Ustream like the TSL.Since I am probably going to be watching VOD's for the NASL now on.

I'd watch vods if they'd just put up some 480p/720p versions. So far, wasted money in supporting NASL. No reply from them to my support emails either - come on, if you take money from people, you should respond to their emails.

hello,
I was wondering if the chat also causes the FPS of the NASL video stream to vary.. it seems to speed up and slow down...

I'm pretty sure it's not my computer..

I am watching IDRA's stream on JTV at the same time, with more viewers, and it is smooth...

any help would be appreciated !

Thank you for posting this, I was so sick of people complaining about lag. I can watch the 1080 stream with absolutely no lag difficulties, however having chat open makes it a bit choppy. People need to explore other options if there stream is lagging. Most of the time it is on the broadcaster's end, but some times it is on the viewers end.

personally, i'd just recommend joining the chat via a normal IRC client. This provides a far better overview of what's going on, and it also uses way less system resources than some weirdo flash plugin in a browser.

for NASL:
  • open an irc client of your choice
  • put in your justin.tv account name as /nick <account name>
  • connect to /server chat2.justin.tv 6667 <password>
  • join the chat channel using /join #naslseasonone


if the channel joining doesn't work, you should have received a message saying somthing like REDIRECT 199.93.123.292. Then you need to head over to the server given there, just start again at bullet three with /server 199.93.123.292 6667 <password>. Then try /join again, this time it will work for sure.

Example screenshot (me on the channel using xchat):

Its laggy and I have tried the solution in OP with the core affinity setting

I have a:

i5 430M
6GB DDR3 RAM
500 GB HDD
Nvidia GeForce 330M 1GB Dedicated Video Card

My Usage for Disk, Network, Processor all below 20% and not spiking :/

Very confused at the moment about what to do to be honest.

I am having massive lag issues and just don't know what to do. The more people are watching the stream, the worse the lag is. I am pretty sure it's the chat, even though I don't have the chat I open I think it's connecting me to the chat anyways. Because during down periods it will stream better, then during a big engagement where you'd expect the chat to be more active it locks up completely. I have tried all solutions in the OP and it made zero difference. NASL is at this point with this many people watching completely unwatchably laggy for me. Other streams, especially non-JustinTV streams, are completely 100% fine.
