Videos Not Working

Christopher Sauer

Hi,

I'm trying to watch the fundamentals videos and I can't get any of them to play. It seems they just hang and don't load. I'm not having issues with streaming other content from different sites therefore I think it may be an issue with your hosting provider.

Thanks,

Chris

The "host" is Amazon. These videos are being served from Amazon. However, they are Edge servers.

If the stream is interrupted (especially if it has lots of "bits") the "hanging" thing happens. Unfortunately this plagues people with connections that have variable speeds (or worse). 

Typically when the "hanging" happens, you can slide the time slider forward past the intro...and things will improve or work better.

If not, the download option allows for the videos to be saved directly to your computer where they will play without pause.

I still need to figure out a way to improve this.

If I host everything on YouTube... it would help the stream bit..but I will lose all control of the content (and will be limited in how to manage it. )
