Hey there!
For some reason, my stream will not load when i join the site sometimes, it will load some picture (its been stuck on Animatrix for a week) that will flicker on and off. This usually happens for about 5 minutes, where refreshing or switching qualities does nothing. Afterwards, there seems to be nothing wrong (aside from chat problems) This happens probably 20% of the time i join the stream, and it seems to be independent of problems with other people. It's been really annoying missing the first 5 minutes of a show because my stream won't load for..some reason. I've searched the forums, and can't find anything about this, does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
I'm using Firefox, but strangely enough, it seems the problems stopped for some reason, so I guess I'll just continue on and hope I don't jinx it, thanks for the advice though =)
What browser are you using? I've heard of problems of course on IE but pretty often occurring on Chrome. I Think the most suggested browser at least for stream is Firefox followed by Chrome (but i still use chrome =9 ). If your having an issue on ether of those browsers check your Adblock if you have it on, i haven't heard of anyone having any problems with it causing the stream not to work the way you describe it but its a good place to start.
