I am learning Angular 4: Beginner to Pro, and I usually use the 2x speed to watch the video. Recent month it was not smooth as before, I checked my internet speed and it doesn’t change. The video looks stuck frequently and the resolution is as low as 320p or lower. I was wondering if that may be due to the server of the website or other reasons. Have you guys experienced a similar problem?
Browser: Safari
It seems better on Chrome. Just found there is no quality option in the setting compared with Chrome.
I’m on Windows 11, i9-10900K, Nvidia 4090 gpu, 64Gb Ram, 124Mbps fibre broadband and using Edge browser (Version 120.0.2210.39) or Chrome (Version 119.0.6045.199). The videos are very low res for between 20 and 50 seconds on initial start before it resolves to higher res. I suspect it’s got something to do with the video player’s Quality setting being set to Auto and it’s taking far too long determining the connection speed and switching from 240 or 360 quality to something higher.
I’ve found it quicker to use the video player Settings icon at bottom right and setting the Quality from Auto to something higher. Even then it takes between 3 - 5 seconds to switch. I just wish the video Quality setting was a site-wide setting persistent across all courses and videos instead of having to manually change it upon each video playback.
I am also having issues with video playback. Even at low resolution it constantly stops to buffer. It does’t seem to be a bandwidth problem (Youtube, Netflix all run perfectly smooth and at high resolution): it is as if the video player starts too late to refill its buffer. Often it does not resume at all, unless the video is paused and resumed manually.
I’ve tried clearing browser data/cookies, playing in incognito mode and rebooting. Nothing works. Makes it really difficult to effectively follow this course…
Hope someone can look into this. I’m in Thailand (if it matters). Not sure where the servers are and if latency could be an issue here.
