![]() ![]() Is it going directly from the Tivo to my computer and not leaving my network, or going to a Tivo server in between? I have used a Chromecast to cast video from my computer in the Chrome browser to a tv in the past and it was low quality. I'm wondering how this Tivo streaming even works. Netflix runs so much better now and I like how that player automatically resizes to the window size. I wish they would just use HTML5 already. Anyone else notice that? A design change or buffering not working? All fastforwarding was instantaneous unless I went past the buffer, then there would be a slight delay. It used to be that if I paused the video, the gray bar still kept moving forward. I noticed that around the time this all stopped working well, the gray bar that shows the video buffer no longer appears in any browser. Kind of makes me nauseous at times! My new 64 bit Chrome still shows an older version of Flash that is embedded, but still says Chrome is up to date. Better in Firefox with audio that is fine, but video is not consistently smooth. Unwatchable choppy audio and video and Chrome and Opera. I went to the Adobe site and saw yet another Flash update just came out (21.0.0.197) and installed that today in Firefox and Opera. When I checked the Tivo site the other day after the play buttons returned it was no better. Streaming to my tablet with the app over wifi works great, the computer browser method should work better not worse. It seems like since it is on the same network and all hard-wired it should work a lot better than it does. The ability to stream recordings to a browser or app was a real plus when deciding to upgrade to the Roamio. I also don't really want to go the Slingbox route. so that's probably the issue (at least for me) with these latest changes. Both those browsers use the same type of plugin for flash, while Firefox uses a different type. ![]() So it loads now, but is just as horribly choppy as it is in Opera. Then when Chrome loads it recreates it and uses an older version of flash instead. I found some posts about having to rename the dll for it or delete the folder containing it inside the user folder. Maybe if I had selected to remove all the associated user files too it would have worked? It showed the proper integrated flash (pepper one) was installed and enabled but it still wouldn't load. I tried completely uninstalling it and reinstalling it, but it still wouldn't work. I did finally get the flash to work in Chrome 64 bit, but it took a bit of Googling to figure it out. ![]()
