BrunchMaybe this is just me but I find that the NS player and Slvsh player are drastically worse than YouTube and Vimeo. Find myself constantly having to wait for video's on Slvsh and NS to load and it's goddamn frustrating. Whereas on YouTube or Vimeo, it seems there's no issue at all. Anybody else feel similar?

Mr.BishopSLVSH is also confirmed using a Vimeo player.
So either both Vimeo and SLVSH are slow for you or there's some sort of other problem here...
toastNot positive on this but I think the SLVSH vimeo player defaults to 1080p with no way to change the resolution.
Newschoolers has always been a slower video player for me, but I've always figured that's because you guys probably stream at a higher bitrate per resolution than YT and Vimeo?
Mr.BishopIs it all the time that those videos are slower or is it only certain videos?
MinggFor me when I try to watch videos it'll play a second or two of the video sped up, pause for a second, skip through the next couple seconds, pause, speed through the next couple seconds and so on. This happens specifically on chrome (Mac 10.12.3) and it doesn't matter what wifi I'm on(school, home, other home - it's all choppy).

MinggAll the time for me. Then again I've only attempted to watch a handful of videos in the past couple days. One that comes to mind right now is the misty to backflip video specifically.
eheathOP are you using an older computer? Might be the issue.
Mr.BishopSLVSH used to use just a branded Vimeo player, perhaps that is now different.
As for us, we're in the process of upgrading the shit out of everything so I'm hoping that some of these load times are reduced. The player works great for some people but others have issues like you.

BrunchLiterally happens on every single video for both SLVSH and NS. I thought it could have been network issues but I ran a few speed tests and even on high download rate networks it's still an issue.
Mr.BishopAny other sites this happens with?
any chance you could take a video capture of it on both sites and send it to me? Sounds weird as fuck.

Rparryeah that video was so laggy it was insane. I could hardly make out the rotation
Mr.BishopLink me. I don't know which one you're talking about.

of course, it's running much smoother today. I swear I'm not crazy lol
mr-mcsteezelove the updated video player on here. i used to hate watching videos on here cause they would either take for ever to load or just but super low quality
great job
Mr.BishopWe literally just upgraded everything. Servers, Encoders, CDN, Player - the whole nine yards. In theory, things should be MUCH better now, but we were pushing out updates to this over the last few weeks so it might have taken a bit of time to notice.
