Futubox

Eurosport laggy

Hi Guys,

I have been trying to get the Europort channel to stream smoothly, but for some reason it is buffering every 1-2 minutes. I have reduced my quality settings in my profile to SD and have a test stream bandwidth of 6Mb.

I am using unotelly and the WD live SMP with Serviio. I tried connecting my PC directly to the TV but have the same result.

Anyone experiencing anything similar or has an idea for me?

Most of the other channels work better.

Thanks
 
If someone has a free minute, can you post the url to E! Entertainment (without your identifier) - still not working on my side.

Thanks - that worked.

With regards to the new channels, how do you know which ini to find them in with Webgrab?

EDIT:
And how does the WebGrab thing map to the M3u playlist
e.g.
From WebGrab:
<channel update="i" site="tvtoday.de" site_id="SKY-A" xmltv_id="Sky Action">Sky Action</channel>
From Playlist:
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="UK_RT_2205",Sky Action HD
rtmp://s02.futubox.to/live?playpath=z050237.stream live=1

@digitalp - if you have the latest EPG, that would be great, mine timed out twice again - and now I have zero.
 
So I tried this service. Paid for a month. On my 10mb home connection or 4mb work connection I get pretty bad lag even when watching stuff via SD. Adverts are sooooooooooo long. Dont know how people in the UK can handle such long adverts on their History Channel. Not sure if I will be resubscribing.
 
You sure you watching at the correct time and not when telemarketing is on? I haven't really noticed adverts unless in-between shows.

I haven't experienced any problems with Futubox since i started using it. Even with latencies like this:

C:\Users\Penn>ping -t telkom.co.za

I can still watch in HD with no lag or buffering. Hopefully my latency issues will be resolved in 2 weeks as promised by the Telkom Social Media Team.

Well I have tried two different ISP`s on two different lines at two different locations. I have tried 10mb and 4mb lines. I tried HD and SD video. I tried multiple servers. There is no one else on the line so the latency is awesome.

Only thing not awesome is how laggy the video is. Often the audio plays the the video skips as it constantly tries to catch up.

For me I am going to utilize Netflix and Hulu atm. I am finding Futubox to laggy and frustrating. I don't have issues on the other two. My kids can watch wirelessly on my ipad from Netflix without issues. Fair enough it is SD, but laggy free.
 
Seems you're out of luck then, many people, including myself - don't have that problem.
