I thought the connection I was on before was pathetic dog shit (moved rural and went from 1g to 100mbps up/down at both) and the only issues I ever had was specifically peacock because that app is designed to work just poorly enough that I'll struggle with it

Literally haven't thought about video buffering since like... 2014, 2013? Unless of course my Internet drops out. And that includes on mobile devices

I shudder to think what y'all are running on

The secret is that 90% of the time for 90% of people, the current method of "just in time" buffering works as good or better. Especially if you're on your phone you don't want to be paying for buffering data far into the future.

But the 10% of the time that it DOESN'T work when it usually does, really sticks in your brain so everyone has the experience of it not working now.

Has YouTube live streaming just shit the bed for anyone else this past week? That and the main page has been laggy to the point I'm being brought the wrong videos when I click on something. I assume it's because of uBlock Origin.

I've been watching JPEGs uninterrupted for ages.

If you're on Windows download potplayer and copy video links to one in potplayer

If you wait potplayer will buffer the entire video or a good chunk of it

The only time I notice it not working that way still is if my internet cuts out or the page itself is having problems and it won't load at all. Otherwise it loads the entire video pretty quickly. Like don't even have to pause it to see the gray line getting lighter because it goes so fast it's done loading a 20 minute video within the first 30 seconds of said video.

Now, if I am watching cable TV on the other hand... That shit buffers like crazy. And it's even weirder that I have cable internet. How is my internet faster than the TV when they use the same lines?

It's called DASH protocol and it's designed to only have a small adaptive bandwidth buffer. The whole video will never buffer, only a small percentage of it.
