My wifi connections is strong (about 85 mbs according to ookla) but I cannot watch YouTube videos in even 720p without buffering. Anyone encountered or know a fix for this? I'm on kitkat, but it occurred on lollipop too before I downgraded

I don't know if there is a fault with the htc wildfire or my Cyanogenmod 6.1 firmware but any streaming of live video freezes after about 5 minutes. Has anyone else come across the same problem? It's almost like a full buffer or out of available memory error. The video stream can be restarted no problems. This seems to be with the wi-fi and not the 3g. I am using a Netgear Wireless-G router WGR614v9 on virgin media.
Indeed Virgin media may be resetting the wi-fi connection causing the video to stop.
same here, my phone freezes when I stream and I'd have to take out the batteries to restart my phone
Just upgraded (update.zip) Epic 4g to Froyo and have started having bitrate capping issues where the stream rate caps out at 375k. I am using a Monsoon Vulkano app streaming live TV over 3G. Before the update (on Android 2.1) I could get steady rates of 1.0-1.5k and it was a great picture.
The first time I started the app after the upgrade it was getting a fast bitrate but the video kept stopping because the app kept "optimizing". I thought it was an app issue.
I tried to test other app versions…. reinstalled 1.0.70 from the market, tried 1.0.54 and 1.064 and 1.0702T. Also tried restoring the app from my pre-upgrade backup. All versions have the same issue. I previously re-set the Sprint RTSP proxy to 0's to avoid the possibility of a proxy issue.
I thought it might be the 3G connection I also tried the 4g connection but same issue.
This issue wasn't present until I upgraded Android.
Anyone else having RTSP or other streaming issues after upgrading to EB13?
I've been having difficulty streaming youtube videos, even while on wifi. The stream will be perfect, then will buffer for 15 seconds before playing again. My wifi is a 10 Mbps connection so there's no reason for it to buffer

Thanks. I've already de-proxied my phone though. Still having issues.
EB13 is hit and miss. GPS fixed, Streaming issues. Install to SD Card, Camera Issues.
Ok so lately my internet stops working...and i have to turn off my wifi and turn it back on so it works again...i dont know if its youtube. But most video take fo evaaa to load and load slow when they start playing....is it just me. Or is it cause acer needs updates or is it honeycomb ....someone give me some input. Thanks....i dig this tablet but dam its annoyin now.. and i do have latest update...by the way
I am also having issues with Youtube streams. I've confirmed the same videos play fine on my laptop so I know it's not the video or my connection. It's impossible to watch a youtube video in HD on my tablet.
Just started having the same issue today, but I did switch from using intel's my wifi tech in my netbook to a netgear wifi router, so I'm guessing that's my issue.

Hey,
I just got a TF300 and I've been trying to get video streaming to work on the tab. I'm using BubbleUPNP and I've tried about a dozen video players to go with it (dice player, vplayer, moboplayer etc etc).
The issue I'm having is that the video just randomly stops. I'm not having any issues relating to video quality or file formats. I'll be streaming a video and the video will just randomly stop, and because its streaming I can't resume at the same place I have to start again.
I have not yet managed to complete a single video without it being exited at a random interval. Its not always the same place, sometimes I'll get 20minutes in, other times 10minutes of the same video file.
I'm using iSedora media center to stream across my internal LAN. I've been using this program to stream to my TV without issues for over a year.
At the moment it looks like WiFi could be the culprit however
a) I've used WiFi Analyzer to find an unused channel for my router
b) I've tested the stream right next to my router at about -20dBm to -30dBm
Any assistance here would be amazing
Thanks

Try sharing the file over the network and playing it that way via a file manager that works on shares. This will take your streaming server out of the equation.
Sounds very similar to the problem i had with my TF101 after upgrading to ICS. I was never able to finish a streaming video anywhere. Usually stopped within 2-4min.
The TF101 decided it just didn't like the d-link AP we have here anymore.
Not sure what router you have but try toggling settings such as:
Mode Settings: (Mix mode) vs G Mode - Mix Mode worked better
&
TX Rates: (Auto) vs Manual - Auto worked better.
Also interesting, after upgrading to ICS & running the speed test app the device was clearly being throttled @ ~3mbps from then forward. Prior to ICS it was testing at full (slightly variable) speed w/no issues.
Edit: I too used wifi analyzer & didn't have signal issues.
I received advice from the author of BubbleUPNP that its likely wireless dropping out, however I've tested it with about -20dBm signal strength, and I can't imagine getting it any better than this.
Apparently the TF300 has some issues with playback in rare occasions where it will just crash playback mid video and a factory reset can correct this. Giving this a go at the moment.

I've been trying this too using ES File Explorer and a variety of players and its a bit choppy, so I've just traded for play back problems.
I believe this has happened from day one but I can't remember very well. Turning wi-fi on and off, and switching networks causes tremendous lag, when it comes to animations and video playback. Why?
I get this horrible lag when updating apps from the Play Store as well.
YouTube also has it's own issues: 60fps video will start lagging behind, and audio will go out of sync. I've had instances where the video playback stops completely but the audio continues.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone?
It sounds like you have a very poor wifi connections.
Is your router/modem capable of 5g and did you check that the channel it uses has no other device on it.
My WiFi has been incredibly spotty lately. I will look into this.
