previously I tried with PIA -west coast stream optimized server-openvpn and still had buffer issues during games. I'll try when I get the buffer issues again, currently the channels are working fine. The issue seems to only happen during live Football and Baseball games.
Could the
4k firestick be running out of memory causing the buffer? Used fast task killer went from 345mb-635mb.
Testing the service with a
Nvidia shield Pro 4k tomorrow to rule out my
4k firestick.
The buffering issue is only with specific channels during sporting events. I do not experience buffering on other channels like news channels during that same time, I have changed the HW on iptv smarters in the past when I was having buffer issues to no avail. I deleted and reinstalled app from different sources to rule out the app as well. Buffer persists on Baseball and football events with multiple iptv apps. My brother and Dad have similar issues using the service at other locations as well, not geo ip locked and pay for 3 connections.
1. Speeds Down-316.24mb, Up-11.16mb | With PIA VPN USA West streaming optimized connected, down-27.98mb, up 16.33.
2. Using Wifi 6 on TP-link AX11000,
firestick is in DMZ mode so it should have unrestricted traffic and ports open.
3. 1 person on internet
4. Firewall is currently on, I did test with it disabled when I experienced buffering on these channels
5. I have hard rebooted the docsis 3.1 modem and router multiple times during buffer issues.
6. I'm not sure, Have looked thru the iptv streaming issue posts and read thru the suggestions which I have already done prior to posting.
