  1. Twitch Streaming from Xbox One - Keeps buffering / pausing


    I've posted this on Twitch forums as well as here. Hoping someone can help/assist/advise.

    Ok, so this is rather annoying.

    I've been streaming since Jan 2015. 40% of the time, I have no problems when streaming from my Xbox One. The other 60% of the time, my stream keeps buffering/pausing every 30 seconds odd.

    So 30 seconds of streaming.. 5-10 seconds of buffering/pausing before the stream continues.

    Its not my ISP as far as I can tell. I have 70mbps down, 20mpbs up. I've done a throttle test and all seems fine. If I stream from the PC using OBS I dont seem to have this issue, but to be fair I dont stream that much from the PC yet to know if this is 100%
    accurate.

    I see a lot of people complaining about the same thing, though cant seem to find a fix.

    If you are trying to get followers/viewers, the last thing you need is for a crappy stream but I have no idea what to do about it.

    I hope to become a Twitch.tv partner at some point, though at this rate I'm going to lose my followers, not gain more.

    Anyone got any ideas? :/

    Will a capture device make any difference? Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a fix? I see a huge amount of threads on Twitch forums as well as Reddit, though not actual solutions.

    Is the HBO GO app down?

    i have this same issue. hbogo and twitch both buffer every 50s (twitch sometimes pauses every 10s to buffer). i thought it was my internet connection, but on no other device do i have this problem. in fact, watching hbogo/a twitch stream on my desktop (wireless)
    has no problem, but the same program or stream on my xbox one buffers. this has gone on for a good 4 days now, and just last night hbogo gave me a "the video cannot be played. hbogo will now restart" error. my download speeds clock in anywhere from 95-140
    mbps. i've noticed, however, on the xbox one, that the speed dips to (sometimes) as low as .5mbps.

    hard resetting, uninstalling/reinstalling, unplugging, depowering gateway: none of these fix the issue.

    Using Fitness offline

    I would vote if the browser would let me (keeps telling me 'We couldn't submit your vote at this time.'). But honestly I doubt this will happen, my guess is the agreements they have with content providers like Beachbody specifies they only have a streaming
    license and specifically prohibits saving to disk.

    Although if that is true it doesn't mean they can't improve. The streaming has been pretty solid for me lately, but on those few off days where I do have issues it seems like it could have been prevented. Xbox Fitness seems to only buffer a tiny amount of
    the video. When your connection acts up only a little bit it can result in switching between HD and SD multiple times, or it just runs out of buffer. Simply buffering more seems like a relatively easy solution to most of the streaming issues. Take Youtube
    as an example, once you start to play a Youtube video it tries to buffer as much of the video as possible. Even if you pause a Youtube video it continues to buffer. And not unimportant, the use can see how much of the video is already buffered. Just having
    a bigger buffer in general should lead to less hiccups, but when a connection really is questionable a user could simple pause the video at the beginning and build up enough buffer so the video will play smoothly.

    I'm all in

    Netflix streaming at 1080p is not a fair example though because video can be buffered, streaming an interactive game over Shareplay is a different beast all together and i'm personally surprised that people aren't having serious latency issues.

    aren't Twitch streams at 720p?
