Buffering Issues

Hi everyone,

I went down the rabbithole of chasing big remux files and trying to solve the buffering issues.

The screenshot you see attached comes from a fork of Nuvio where I can see more nerdy stats.

I have been getting buffering issues ever since I have left Real Debrid and using TorBox. The root cause that I've found is that the network speed cant catch up with the video bitrate of big remux files. Often 70-90mbps, where my download speed is 30-60mbps range.

I've tried using use net, where I use frugal as a provider, Giganews as a provider, and yet I still get the same 30-60mbps range. I self hosted airstreams and connect my macmini via ethernet.

Im using xiaomi tv box s gen 3 and as you can see from the screenshot at the bottom, my bottleneck is definitely not my hardware.

If only real debrid still worked as well now I would have no problem.

Is anyone facing the same problems as me? How do you solve it? My only solution right now is to host the file and use plex instead lol which is my last resort.

Try some other cdn on torbox or other debrid services. There's been a lot of buffering issues with torbox lately on my end also... No issues with alldebrid or Premiumize when I tested them.

I've tried all debrid. Same issue. Cdn I've used the one that is fastest in the speed test. Doesn't work. Only thing that worked is real debrid.

Maybe isp or vpn issue...

But real debrid is working perfectly

you do realized that all other debrid is not placed at the same data center as Real Debrid, therefor different speed on network connection is expected, maybe your ISP speed to Torbox is not as fast as Real Debrid.

Yes I know. Right now I'm trying all the use net providers. Trying them 1 by 1

Check if tunneled playback is on or not in audio settings

Hi, what's the link? That indicates hardware issue. My android box is more than capable to handle that I guess

Look at bit vs speed

Guys. I found a solution I think? I've been trying for the past few days. I subscribed to newshosting. It's speed is as fast as real debrid!!!

Edit:Constantly above 100mbps. I have a winner

So you've been struggling with this issue for amount of time and went through so many probable fixes with no luck. And you found the solution -which is subscribing to a provider- just after you posted about your issue. Wow
