My video stutters and freezes, what's wrong?

Out of Date Browser or Flash Player: Be sure your browser and flash player are updated to the most current version. Incompatible Browser. Browsers are constantly being updated. While we try, sometimes a browser will introduce video playback issues that require some time to re-program our site to deliver all content. If a page appears broken, please try viewing with a different web browser.

Insufficient Bandwidth: Viewing problems can also be caused by bandwidth constraints. This stream requires a persistent 800Kbps download connection speed.

If this connection becomes burdened, the video quality will suffer in a way that may cause the image to stutter or become pixilated momentarily. The most common factors that affect bandwidth include but are not limited to:

Can I download an event to my computer to watch later?

Can I watch an event from a public location such as a school, hotel or WiFi Hotspot?

Can I watch an event from a public location such as a school, hotel or WiFi Hotspot?

Pointstreak Stream utilizes OctoShape Optomized technology for our live events. This patented technology allows viewers of the same live event to share the incoming video stream to minimize the impact on the "last mile" network and internet connection. While we can optimize the incoming video broadcast, we can't control what else might be happening over a shared internet connection on a public connection.

For this reason, wireless hotspots may not deliver a smooth viewing experience. We recommend a dedicated internet connection for a stutter-free viewing. It is possible that you will be able to use a public hotspot to experience a game with absolutely no problems, but this is purely a "Use at your own risk" situation.

 

Why am I being asked to download the OctoShape Plugin? Is it safe?

Pointstreak Stream utilizes OctoShape Optomized technology for our live events. This patented technology allows viewers of the same live event to share the incoming video stream to minimize the impact on the "last mile" network and internet connection. This is safe to install.

 

Do I have to have Flash Player installed to view an event?

If you're not running the Stream on an IOS device, then you will need The Flash Player to view an event. The Flash Player runs as a plug-in to all supported browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Safari) and is available free of charge on the Adobe website.
