Hello, if anyone is experiencing video lag, but the audio is fine, go to flash settings and change your cache from 100KB to 1MB or 10MB.

edit: Might help some people, but still a bit laggy for me.

Actually, changing it to 10MB made it a bit better. Still lagging on a regular basis though.

Yesterday was unwatchable for me. Today's stream started out laggy but was fine after you guys reset it. However, I turned it off to eat dinner, came back, and now it's lagging like crazy again.

Had the same issues with frames freezing in big engagements but sound continuing without any indication of lag, once the fights are over you're just waiting to see what the players are left with after the engagement. And it's not only in the engagements, occasional frame freezes every now and then without anything significant happening.

Extremely frustrating trying to follow the qualifiers with these lag issues. Might aswell try having the audio only stream running

User was warned for this post (bad advice)

I am sorry but me, with a i5 2500k OC'd to 4.5 GHz, 8 gb of ram and a 6950 2gb, lags. And I got a 100/100 bandwitch.

yeah i felt lag a few times really. I have 200mbit internet the best internet you can have here in europe except the new 1Gbit. But i've never had any problems watching streams before. Something was wrong. Perhaps it was the new Shockwave player that was buggy? I've heard that it was very buggy with the new adobe flash player etc.

We're looking into some changes to how the stream is encoded to hopefully reduce lag when the main broadcast starts.

Thanks for your efforts to fix the problems. But instead of hoping that it works in the main broadcast can't you just do some test runs (just get some casters casting some weekly cup)? Or do you suspect that this problems only occurr above a certain number of watchers which is impossible to mobilize outisde the tsl?

Yeah when I test with just myself it works fine, but I also have a properly configured browser, high end PC, etc. A lot of people are probably not running high end PCs which can have trouble with software or hardware decoding of high definition h264 streams.

i'm on a high end pc with multiple properly configured broswers and tons of bandwidth, so i don't think it's that. i'll try the flash cache to 10mb suggestion above and see if that improves things

Yeah horrible lag here... some times audio is fine but mostly both have horrible lag. Tried pop out mode and disabling chat. Guess I'll never pay for TSL+ again.

People watch the stream on lower resolutions because they have a weak internet connection which can not play higher resolutions smoothly, right? Right.
So a 360p SC2 stream usually takes ~100kbyte/s bandwidth which works on a weak connection (DSL 1000 -> 120kbyte/s download max). The bad thing now is that these TSL 4 "intro videos" tend to need way more bandwidth than ingame scenes and everything else which causes lags and thus is very annoying and should not happen on a 360p stream which is prolly designed for weaker connections.

If there's a way to fix that. Please do it.
