ESPN3 Completely Broken FW 1.1

[gynetix]

Im getting massive stuttering, sound in and out, black screen, constant freezing etc.

In prior firmware it worked fine but would freeze for about 30 seconds every 5 minutes or so.

Now on the disparaging side online streaming sites like atdhe, firstrowsports, etc, do pretty much the same thing. Constant stuttering, pausing, completely unwatchable.

Believe these are all flash videos so apparently flash has taken a huge hit now.

I'll read through the main post when I get a chance but figured espn3 is popular enough it warrants a new thread.

***Edit: Ok I might have jumped the gun a bit here. TWIT, Gametrailers, giant bomb, youtube, pretty much every single flash video is doing the stuttering thing so i'll reboot and check on my network first to make sure it's not something i've messed up.

ESPN3 even sucks on my computer so. TWC at fault. Bad routing.

Do a tracert and see if you seething like this:

Trace complete.

That time out some times lasts 10 seconds. So video takes forever to start. If at all.

And wow both Denver and Seattle level 3 needs some work. Both should still be around 50ms mark. Bad TWC!!

Ok I seem to be getting this insane stuttering on all flash videos now actually. YouTube, navi x, etc etc etcetc. Lol now I'm worried.

[gynetix]

Ok I snapped a video with my iphone within Vevo on the new Rihanna so at least the stills look good lol.

Any ideas what this could be as i don't see everyone reporting similar performance? Rebooted the box, no torrents or anything going on my computer, not sure what else to try.

Here's the video

Still waiting for you to post one of these:

Do a tracert

[gynetix]

I've no idea what a tracert is unfortunately.

BUT I wildly rebooted about 10-15 times and it all finally works lol. No idea why or what was going on. Literally changed nothing, just rebooted over and over.

Unfortunately espn3 isn't broadcasting anything for another couple hours but I'll check when it is. All the other flash videos are running fine now though so I'm hopeful.

So the solution for other like me...WILDLY REBOOT lol
