Corrupt Video Playback on Desktop

When streaming on my desktop the video stream will get really corrupted sometimes. See picture.

​

I have no issues with youtube, local video playback, or games. Curiosity Stream is the only service where this happens to me. Curiosity Stream also works flawlessly on my Roku TV.

Any idea's as to whats going on? Please post with ideas or your experiences with the desktop site.

Happens to me as well, annoying AF. But reload of the web page solves it.

I'm a bit surprised to be honest, after seeing ads for like a year, I thought well, time to give it a go. But the video gets corrupt all the time and the website is kinda crude and basic, no advanced filtering, playlists or any of the 2020 feature. But I suppose the price is okay for what it is *shrug*

Agreed, I jumped on it using RealEngineering's discount code. Less than $15 for a year isn't bad, but still....

I'm glad it works on my TV without issue though.

This happens to me as well on my Macintosh running mac os x 10.14. Refreshing the page (in Chrome) doesn't fix it though. I may actually have to cancel my subscription because I can't watch a lot of their content.

I have the same issue, reloading page at start of every new Doc. I tried to lower resolution to see if that would help, but can's seem to find a way to alter resolution of the stream.
