Twin Spires - buffering problem

TheSpyder · #1 03-01-2009, 03:30 PM

All day, it runs 30 seconds of video (either beta tv or MS player) and then buffers.

Anyone else? I have strong signal

I've stopped running the TV and just watch individual streams. The problem I was having is that their FLASH code is poorly written and running the TV runs my CPU at 100%.

I did, however, notice, towards the end, that there was increased buffering.

Youbet's video upgrade is kinda weird, the in house graphics are sharp as can be, but the actual video of the race is blotchy, you get that also?

Yes.

Not much of an upgrade. I guess the "base size" that is there when you open it up is bigger, but it can't handle the movement of the races too well.

It may be an issue with crappy track feeds. It reminds me of the early days of HD when you had to back down your settings on your tv to match what was being broadcast.

It is very blotchy. They make a point to say that they have made upgrades to the video but someone needs to point that out to me because I absolutely see no difference unless the upgrade is from shitty video to crappy video.

The only reason why I am using the live streaming is because I am away from home and the hotel does not have TVG or HRTV on thier television.

However the layouts of the tracks and the wagering pad are top notch. No one better.

This "upgrade" is a misnomer. With the "new" upgrade" I thought I was watching an "Impressionist" version of a race....all blurry watercolors.

And no, it is NOT my connection, PC or the track feed...
