Hi guys,
Over the last few months I've had increasing issues with playback of videos regardless of which player type I use. Usually they fail to start after pressing play, meaning I have to reload the page and try again, often multiple times before the player will actually go.
Videos will also buffer relatively frequently, for very long stretches, 3-5 minutes at a time. This is lessened somewhat by dropping the video quality, making me think it's a throughput issue.
I'm on a 25Mbps-down Fibre connection, and a tracert to v.giantbomb.com (unsure if this is the right domain for the video CDN) only shows ten hops with minimal latency. I don't have any other issues with other streaming video services I use.
I'm on Windows 10 with Chrome, latest version, and I'm not running adblock or preventing any other kinds of scripts from running on giantbomb.com.
Is anyone else experiencing anything similar, or able to recommend a potential fix? TIA.
