Buffering issues....??

any 3rd party security softwear running? is pc clean ?

got buffering issues viewing with vpn too, and the RTV tracks don't ever load lol

i think its a 3rd party taking the bets
And the mass evacuation of customers is caused because of the rotation of horse race positions in the active markets
but nobody at betfair listens

  Someone is typing, please be patient...

Gruss video ATR pics...dodgy
Gruss video RTV pics...OK

Live video menu on both....OK

IMO.

t2r, have you finished yet?

Anyone else had it very jumpy last few days on Chrome?

RTV LV been hideously bad here recently swifty...

getting  to the 'can i really be arsed with this anymore now' tbh.

missed the word 'staged' tbh.

'stage' ffs.

The blank screens is one thing, the jumping is new to me recently, you don't know if what jamee says about it respooling and catching up always happens or you're watching it even further behind...unless you want eyes everywhere watching a delayed RTV on Sky at the same time. I agree it does make it all just become 'why bother' territory, I doubt the GPS/drones jump mid-race.

ruk been crap for  a lot of races last 2-3 days here

on firefox and chrome

Lazza, (not) pleased to know it's not just me, just seems they never find a long term fix.

Same here on Firefox. Got so bad I've just waited for the replays to load up on RP or TF and watch "as live". Don't bet in running so not an issue but good luck to anyone trying that

The jumping issue is only with vision. The commentary carries on uninterrupted, picture freezes, then jumps back in to match the sound, freezes again, and same cycle again. Tried everything, but I don't think its my end or anything on the PC.

I've noticed it's happening on the US feeds now as well which has never been the case previously.

i've had the glitching for ages swifty...

then it seemed better for about 6 weeks...

but it's back now and quite frankly it's worse than it's ever been...

i think i had ONE RTV race today that was fine (at Ludlow)...

the rest were jumping all over the shop...

just another reason to say 'why am i putting myself through this agony ?' tbh.

doesn't appear to affect EVERYONE swifty...

like i said mine was fine for 6 weeks...

absolute cr@p now tho...

i thought about mentioning it to Betfair but what's the point...?

thanx for your feedback...

we'll pass it on to the LV team...

all that cr@p.

I've not had as many issues with it as you Hibby, I put that down to pure luck with servers etc, but this jumping thing is recent. Just another glitch to add to the list. Whether it's the same with all bookies/exchange feeds, using the 'third party' etc etc, I don't know.

Some of the liquidity tonight has been so dire, if you're not as near to live as possible, the scraps won't buy you an egg sandwich.

its obvious you have been singled out and suffer horribly because notfair have decided to target you. outrageous

give it up, for your own sake. its making you unhappy

walk away and find another hobby. i say this reluctantly as one of the few joys of the forum is reading your posts, shining as they do like a beacon of truth through the murk. but we will understand, even though your exit will be a great loss

get out the way numpty. was addressing hippy

type faster, you only had 10 minutes.

You using BFLV or drones now?

oh i agree swifty...

RTV told me it was to do with how your internet connection connects to the cloud (or something like that)...

it's all very odd if you ask me...

i've had it for ages on and off but i have no idea how it was 'fine' for 6 weeks then all of a sudden it's really bad again...

and as you say in running liquidity is pretty bad now (well very bad actually) and any sort of break up ain't good (even if it doesn't lose any time)...

i hear some folk say 'buy a fantastic laptop with a fantastic CPU in it' etc...

and yet Mr.Hunt has an old beaten up laptop and it works fine...

i think Big Cat is on the 'networking' side of things so he could probably explain it much better than me tbh.

Unhappyhibby bleating again.
How unusual

too intererested in saint-saens on r3. and a remarkably fine romanian red

left the drones club longer go. amazed so many still use em. although im useless so it could be me

hippy is becoming a bit of a leg end. relentless

to borrow from plum again; 'on the whole it is not difficult to tell the difference between a ray of sunshine and a scotsman with a grievance'

@happyhibby

"RTV told me it was to do with how your internet connection connects to the cloud (or something like that).."

AIUI RTV/ATR use a CDN (Content Delivery Network).  So they stream the video to the 'master' in the CDN, the master then streams to a number of 'slaves' located all over the country or around the world.

When you click on LV on here, you connect to one of those 'slaves' - which won't be the same slave as another poster.  So I can be having a horrible jumpy experience, while you have perfect video.

"i hear some folk say 'buy a fantastic laptop with a fantastic CPU in it' etc..."

I can't see that helping - if you look at the video player in Task Manager when it is running it uses very little of your computer's resources.

cheers for that longbridge...

i am assuming that is the fastest way to get it from racecourse to my living room so i don't like having a pop at RTV (especially when you consider the nonsense we get from ATR)...

but it is a bit annoying tbh...

especially when it's been pretty good for 6 weeks and only recently gone back to being poor...

in fact the last few days have been really bad...

anyway it would appear it's just the way it is and it's a case of take it or leave it...

anyway cheers for the info longbridge.

the fastest way to get the LV from the racecourse to you would be to directly point-to-point stream it from there to you.

But that doesn't scale - RTV couldn't support tens of thousands of connections all to be served simultaneously - so the CDN serves to 'fan-out' the stream.  At least that's AIUI - I'm a techie by profession but networking is not my speciality.

i kind of understand it now tbh longbridge...

it would appear it is as fast as it can be on RTV therefore any 'glitches' i (and others) get just have to be put up with i suppose...

even if it does end up with me tearing my hair out come 9pm.

just one thing longbridge...

who/what decides what 'slaves' each individual user gets ?

and can an individual user 'change' slaves themselves ?

probably asking daft Q's but when things are as bad as they have been recently you have to ask if there are any options out there to make it better...

and as the 6 week 'good' period shows me things can be better than they have been recently.

I honestly don't know - I'll see if I can find someone who knows this stuff in proper detail and ask.

that would be good to hear longbridge...

ta.

after a decent start RTV LV is now spluttering all over the place...

no idea how it can just deteriorate like this...

wits end stuff now.

Beverley ok...

KIlbeggan / Warwick / Perth dreadful...

no idea how that is possible tbh.

Perfect for me .
Have you got dial up speed internet unhappyhibby?

swifty...

spoke to my man at Betfair this morning...

he has raised this with the Betfair LV bloke who speaks to RMG...

can't promise anything obviously but at least it has been raised to probably the highest level we can get to...

RMG know about this (i know that as i've spoken to them myself)...

but i think it's better someone at Betfair speaks to them as in running is Betfair specific.

The very best of luck with this venture.
I am more concerned about "head on city" at Perth because of the lack of an extra camera which makes I/R russian roulette once they turn in.

Hibby, that's good...although I won't be holding my breath...we've only been here a few times before!

re. other bookies, I think some of them have rolled out in-running betting, so they should at least want a stable video too.

uptheirons, head-on view tracks is just handing money over to the drone boys. btw, are you a season ticket holder?

Not for some years swifty as I am based in Warwickshire.

let's hope they at least try their best to get it sorted swifty...

no idea if they can 'do' it in another way which won't add any delays to it...

i rather doubt it...

what i don't understand is how it can have been fine for me for a number of weeks...

and then all of a sudden it is unbearable again...

the odd glitch here or there i can accept...

but a dozen per jumps race and it really grinds me down tbh...

and some of the glitches can last a good 2 or 3 seconds for me so come the end of the race you're kind of glad it's race over...

which ain't good if you want to try and win a few £...

anyway let's see if theycan get something done about it but like you i ain't holding my breath.

how's it today swifty ?

sandown jumpy

and poor pic quality

mine has been a lot better today...

not perfect but nowhere near as bad as it has been...

have you tried this ?

click on the race...

you get the glitching...

click on another race...

then click on the original race again...

i've seen that work on occasion...

no idea why that would be the case but it has definitely worked for me occasionally.

it's all pot luck, had same race open on chrome and gruss link(think it might be chrome now anyway , was edge for a bit), both hopped around.

Out of curiosity,What type of Broadband do you have and what does it deliver,swifty

900 mbps down, 100 up.

less glitchy when I play from London with just 100 download.

I'm of the view it's all distance to servers, which may change from day to day.

It's a mystery.
I would point out that I don't use BFLV for ATR Flat Courses

I agree, it can glitch all day on the ATR ones, but a shame the bug has now struck the RTV ones.

its filters

you need to reset your filters

Thanks Brassdick

how does one reset filters plse ......Ta

Betfair had a notice up on the football fixtures yesterday.

1-apply filters,2 reset filters.

brass, are you doctoring your selfies?

RTV LV been very poor here today...

first race at Sandown was perfect...

after that constant glitching.

i will have to accept that unhappyhibby is not simply a bleating sweatie
