Why do interruptions sometimes occur when I watch a video stream?
The number one cause of buffering is poor network connectivity. This may not be a problem with your network but may be caused by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) being overloaded. This is especially likely during peak usage hours.
Is my Internet connection sufficient?
Modem users will not be able to view the higher bitrate streams.
Is my computer fast enough?
Lack of memory or a slow processor can cause video to stutter or not play at all. Try closing other programs while viewing our video. If it is older, your computer may simply be too slow to play the stream.
Why does the stream continuously buffer?
The player needs a certain amount of video buffered into memory before it can play. If it doesn't have enough network bandwidth to buffer as much as it needs to, the player will keep trying but never succeed at playing the video stream. Issues that could keep you from having enough bandwidth for buffering include, a slow network connection, too many services or applications using your local network, or too many people using the local network
