  1. Frequent Video Buffering


    When I try to view the video "Elder Scrolls-Online" under the Xbox One window with my Xbox, I encounter pauses for buffering every 3 to 4 seconds. I've triple-checked my ISP's download speed on SpeedTest.net and found it to hover at ~4.9 mbps which should
    be more than fast enough for HD. When I view similar videos via my Xbox using the YouTube app. they run fine with no buffering. Does anyone know why this is? I feel that streaming capability is important in a console such as the Xbox One and I'm afraid
    that this apparent inability will dissuade me from purchasing one. (which I'd really like to!)

    :)

    Exact same issue...no problems with my 360 though...I haven't been able to get anything better than 480p followed by frequent buffering on my super stable fiber

    NETFLIX OUT NOW IN NEW ZEALAND (AND AUSTRALIA?) XD

    My household only has ADSL which averages 10.9 down and 0.9 up. I watched Narnia this morning something like a 2 hour video, you would expect with my speeds and watching it in Dolby HD there would be buffering every 5 minutes, but throughout the 2 hour video
    there was NO buffering. Now if I tried to watch a 2 hour video on Youtube there would be buffering here and there. Been also watching episodes of Lightning Point and Stargate Atlantis, all of which had NO buffering while watching them. So far I'm liking it.

  4. Frequent Video Buffering

    4.8 Mb/s is the bare minimum for streaming 720p video so at 4.9 you're not really up to snuff considering all the other data being transmitted on your network--loading dashboard and marketplace info, friends lists, sale info, etc., etc., etc.

  5. Why then do similar videos streamed using the YouTube app. do so without buffering?

  6. A lot of things can effect download speeds but as I said you are really at the bare minimum for Xbox LIVE. You should consider upgrading to a faster plan or ISP.

  7. I accept your comment re: faster ISP. I should probably shoot for 15 to 20 mbps. I'm afraid my location pretty well puts that spec as well as the Xbox One out of reach. Thanks for your patient responses.

  8. Frequent Video Buffering

    Netflix is actually boosting their recommended HD streaming speed up to 15 Mb/s so that is a good range. Xbox LIVE should realistically function quite well at around 10 Mb/s if you can achieve that speed. I wouldn't recommend buying large digital games
    at that transfer rate as it'd take many, many hours to download but the rest of the services should function quite well.
