Streaming stops and starts

Post by wallythekat »

When I stream ESPN 3 or XFINITY through the Disney stream website the picture is not smooth and consistent. Every few seconds it stops and then after a brief pause the picture starts again.
What is happening?

You Tube same problem on some, not all videos

I have two paid yearly subscriptions PGA Live and ESPN+ that currently work properly and smoothly.

What should I do to correct XFINITY AND ESPN 3 streaming on my laptop?

thanks

Walt

Moving to Firefox Support as no bug has been identified here.

If you could provide a specific video where you see this issue we could see what happens ourselves.

Just watched 3 different videos on ESPN and saw no stuttering, stopping or the like on any of them.

Have you tried starting Firefox in Mozilla Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
If no improvement using Safe Mode, do you have the same problem if you create a new profile and test it with no extensions or non-default themes installed?

What extensions do you have installed? When did the problem start?
