I would like to know if anyone else has a problem with the video player Alli sports is using for the 1st moto coverage of the nationals. I have ADSL 2, the fastest connection I can get here but it buffers, stops and starts, and you cant just pause it and come back in 5 minutes, it starts from where you left off but buffers again 5 seconds later. It sucks.

Yeh I noticed the same thing. I assumed it was my line or something, but it's 1.5mb down speed so I thought it was weird.

Im in Perth on a above average iinet adsl2+ connection. It buffers occasionally. But its acceptable. Freecaster pretty much wont work for me at all though. Everything else I stream is flawless.




Oh just remembered I have utorrent running on the other PC downloading some TV shows. It would have slowed it down a touch when I ran the test

Click on the speedtest pic and show us your results I'm curious.

I'm sitting in a london internet cafe in china town on a computer that looks to have been stolen somewhere 10yrs ago and it works perfectly fine for me. BTW great job by weege and fro, made the race even better to watch.

I watched both races on Sunday morning with no problems at all, I do not recall it 'buffering' once. I do sometimes have problems with Freecaster though....

That is an impressive download speed, I get around half of that but my upload is a little better!

Bah I screwed up the links editing but my point was testing against a server 50 miles from your house is telling you that you have a decent connection.

Sometimes it's not about your connection or their server but all the hops between the two of you.

The video is choppy for me too. The audio is fine. I think it might be my video card or something from my cheapo PC because youtube videos in 720p do the same thing.


On a side note, am I not the only one who thinks that Alli's quality has tanked since last year? Last year it was HD like.

Wow my numbers came up way lower than some others. The live webcast works good for me however. It is not HD video but it is not choppy like others have problems with. There must be computer/hardware issues that contribute to that for some.

On the replays there is definatley a drop in quality this year. Last year I could set the player to high quality and let it load for a while before watching. This year the quality does not adjust and like others mentioned you can not let it load and get any better.

And the preshows look much better when they upload them to youtube than they do on the alli website player.

It should just keep downloading, I often download items, come back and watch them without the buffering wait. But like you say, this one wont keep downloading.

Same problem here. It buffers every few minutes, but usually starts right back up again. It SUCKS.

I know I dont have a fast download speed but my point is that you cant just let it buffer and pause the video for 5 minutes or so like you can with you tube or vimeo or any other video player I have ever seen on the net. You pause it and when you start back up it might run for 10 seconds and then buffers again. useless piece of crap!

I was watching it on my laptop and it kept buffering. Nothing major but still annoying. I switched over to my desktop (overclocked vid carded mac daddy) and it didn't stutter not one time. That would lead me to believe that it's cpu/vid card related but who knows.

For For me the Alli video is terrible. It's like a fast photo slide show that lags farther and farther behind the audio. Even archived videos are bad.

It is for sure their player. It just needs to allow back ground buffering! When I'm away from home I simply cant use it with a slower mobile data connection. They must alienate 80% of potential viewers the way it is right now. All the time and money they put into these great vids is just wasted.
