Broadcast Speed?

brokensaint · 14th August 2003, 07:53

Some of the streams on nullsoft tv are acting like i don't have enough bandwidth and rebuffering like every 3 seconds. I've got cable modem and it clocks at ~600kbps fairly steadily. Why is it that I can watch the 500kbps godsmack videos no problem but not 192kbps music videos? Is it just because there are too many people in the channel, or the broadcaster doesn't have enough bandwidth? Can I reset the buffer length to a longer time? If so how?

What stream are you trying to watch? Could be a lack of bandwidth on their end.

The Godsmack videos I assume are the NTV streams. AOL has plenty of bandwidth.

You can increase the buffers:
Preferences (Ctrl-P) > Plug-ns > Input > Double click "Nullsoft NSV Decoder..." > Buffering
