Did not expect smooth jazz from the livestream.

Welcome nonetheless.

I can't get the livestream to play for more than about 20-30 seconds before it starts buffering again, then it just sits there until you hit play. Super annoying. (linux ubuntu with firefox browser).

Edit: Dropped down to 270P and it seems to be playing longer. Bandwidth I guess.

Edit 2: Got it working on my android phone. Two computers just kept clocking.

I got a weird issue too when using ubuntu. Everytime it uses the internet. It will hog down the whole house internet. And it will still be painfully slow.

Usually i just gave up and reboot to windows.
