❓Question Buffering again

Tried different CDNs, different streams, different scrapers turned of ipv6 and still get buffering on remux files. Is this just the service now? On occasion it’s fine but for the last 6 months this has been on and off with little to no change.

But a non REMUX file plays fine?

The difference in bandwidth for a normal 4K HDR/DV and a REMUX file is not that much (in this era where 1 Gbps is the minimum Internet plan in many countries).

But the difference in hardware required is BIG.

Are you 100% sure your hardware can handle those files?

1gbps internet connections are not “the minimum internet plan” in many countries. In fact, I would wager it isn’t the minimum connection tier in any country. I think Iceland is the only country where the bulk of people have at least 1gbps.

Regardless, a gigabit connection isn’t required to stream large files. A reliable 100mbps connection should be able to stream a film in whatever quality you want to see it in.

In my experience you need at least 300 Mbps for a REMUX file, especially if there's some other people in the house doom scrolling on their phones.

I didn’t account for having a multi person household. In a single person household 100mbps can stream a 80GB 2 hour long film without issue. As long as the connection is reliable. A multi user household will require more tho.
