Streaming issue

[Grath]

Hey guys, i tend to watch a lot of streams of SC2 and Arena Junkies, my issue is it freezing up on me all the time....

Its not my bandwidth, or is it? What im trying to say is that when theres a lot of movement on the screen such as characters or armies with tons of explosions it locks up and freezes, but the audio still remains perfectly, until the video catches back up (which takes around 15 seconds), and when there isnt heaps such as standing there looking through his inventory and such, its fine

Because of my exchange i get around 300kbs download but i can stream 720 quality videos and such on youtube easily

Am i just being ignorant here thinking my bandwidth isnt the problem?

Thanks for any help

Streaming is based off your upload speed. speedtest.net and post the download/upload!

edit: and i'm assuming your computer can handle streaming & playing sc2 (at whatever settings you use) without lag!

What's your upload rate?

Also, please label it properly. Kbps = Kilobits per second; KBps = Kilobytes per second. 8 bits = 1 byte.

Should be good enough. Is your flash plugin up to date?

Anything else using up all your CPU?

What graphics card are you using? Is hardware acceleration enabled?

I dont think the flash player is the issue, my card is a Gigabyte GTX 550 TI.. Hardware acceleration im unsure about and how to check

Right click the flash applet. Click settings. A small option window will pop up. On display tab there should be a checkbox labeled "Enable hardware acceleration."

You might need to disable it as sometimes it's buggy.

It also could be the streamers problem or the streaming website's problem and not yours.

Also make sure you are using the latest version of your web browser.

I disabled it and it seems to help a lot, a little jumpy but not freezing, could possibly be the uploader?
