    • Did you factory reset your device? and when?: no
    • What issue(s) are you having? (As you can see on the screenshot attached, on Live TV, as soon as I change channel, I've got a maximum on the bandwidth (around 5MB/s.. sometime it could go higher like 100MB/s). It stays like that for around 7 sec then slows down (1.2MB/s). I see on screen that in the first 7 sec, the buffer get filled. But as soon it was filled, the speed decrease and the buffer empties. The problem is that its begun to buffering after that. Sometime, speed got down to 300-500KB/s and Live TV doesnt work anymore. Always buffering. So I as myself, how come I can get 5MB/s without problem but at the end, I got a buffering problem du to a slows receptions ?? Im pretty sur there is something in the code that is stopping the speed or a missing command saying to the server: buffer is almost empty, seen my more datas!
    • What was you expecting to happen? im not a coder, so... first I tough that a bigger buffer could help.... then I realise that the problem happened after the buffer got filled. So, the right behavior should be: when it get half, send some code to push on server valve for more datas. I tought it was from the server but logically, if server can send 5MB/s at the beginning, why couldnt send it after few minutes? So my only answer was because box doesnt ask for it!
    • What happened instead? I think i has answered that question
    • How can we reproduce the issue you are having? yes...every that, every channel, every time of day
    • What have you tried if anything to rectify the issue? reboot device. Don't know what to do more.

    Hi,

    First, thank you for using the form :thumbs_up:

    Did you set the buffer in MOL2 menu to higher value? In this case could also static ip help.

    Both of course if the provider don`t have resource issues and test with working VPN would be useful to check ISP.

    Thx guy for you answer...

    I'm using a VPN to be sure that isn't come from internet provider. With NordVPN, I'm getting 120mpbs with VPN on.. so, not that

    I bought a new router with a QOS just for that. Set formuler Z8 pro on the highest priority.

    And of course, set a fixed IP to the Mac address.

    And yes, I've set the buffer to 10sec.

    you had good idea, but I've done it all and still the same problem.

    Like I've said.. strange that I can got 20MB/s that filled the buffer then it drop to 200kb/s and never going high and it ended by buffering.(sorry for my bad English 😅)

    I asked to the programmer why not be able to set a buffer to 60 sec or more. They doesn't seem to see my point of doing that.

    what could tell the server: ok, send me full datas then.. stop... and it didn't ask for more... my only answer is the buffer and the way it is manage.

    I thing I find the problem... it was coming from the VPN.

    By default, the VPN program (NordVPN) connect on P2P server. I changed it to "Obfuscated" and seem that my bandwidth is more constant.

    Ill let you know if I learn more... thx guys!
