Troubleshooting

Why are the streams disrupted?

There can be a number of reasons for getting disrupted streams:

1. Not enough users sharing the stream: See our P2P streaming page Here to learn why a small number of sources may not be enough.

2. Your network connection is not fast enough. We recommend to use at least a 750kbps connection.

3. Other applications are consuming too much bandwidth. Most notably traditional P2P clients such as Emule, Kazza or Bittorent are very bandwidth demanding. Make sure those are not running when you try to watch video streams.

4. Your system is infected by a virus, spyware or malware. The later two are very common these days, and may significantly reduce your pc's performance. Keep your system clean by using an anti virus and anti malware/spyware software regularly.

5. You are running Windows XP with service pack 2 which limits TCP/IP connections. You can free your OS from this limitation by installing this Patch

While we can assure you that many people have used this patch successfully, if you choose to install it you do so at your own risk.

Improving Visual Quality

The picture quality of most video streams is far from what we get on TV. PixelFusion is a plugin designed to enhance the picture quality of Windows Media Player streams. It can be found here
