I was just wondering if anyone else was having problems streaming subscriptions to iPhones?
It's happened now with a number of different subscriptions by different producers. At its best it's slow and the idea of seeking with the time bar ahead or back in a scene is very very slow but there are days like today where I can't get more than a minute to load in at a time and it's taking upwards of 5 minutes to load that in.
My connection is fast and all other internet apps on the phone Netflix, YouTube etc run fast. What's the problem? I want to stream but this is making me not want to bother again.
I've responded to your inbox message Just pasting a portion of it here for reference....
Hi! Thanks for your flag on the issues you're having with our store (again). At this point I have to chalk it up to the fact that we do serve large, basically original files, not the downgraded formats usually offered by Youtube et al. You might have a great internet connection, but you'd still have to be able to download like a 1GB file in realtime for it to stream smoothly.
Also, on [that] site, a lot of his later stuff is filmed in high frame rate which is still very rare on any site and hard for computers to render. In this case, you'd have to have a pretty fast video card on your computer or device for these to play smoothly, even if you do have a fast internet connection and modern computer. These high frame rate scenes are marked with a red exclamation point so you'll know.
Look forward to hearing back over inbox Messmaster
