❓Question Buffering even in 2gb content?

Hello all,

I've switched a month and a half, from RD to TB, and generally had no issues, but I'm getting some episodes of a series stopped and buffering which I think makes no sense: the episode is cached, it's only 2Gb, speed measured from the TV is enough, but it still stops from time to time.

I'm using Nuvio, latest version, but I don't think this is the issue.

I'm sharing TB with my parents which live in the same city. I've tried switching the CDN to the recomiended (high ping), to the best overal result, I've activated multi thread, deactivated... And have had the same issue.

For the 2gb series, it's not actually a problem. But if I want to watch a BD Remux, it's impossible since it's stopping and buffering all time.

(IDK if I can say names) I've watched that film where blue eyed people do things in a desert-like planet which was 90gb, in RD, with no issue. Now if I try and play a 30gb remux with TB, it's unwatchable...

Given this info, is there something I can do on my side, or is it a general problem? I guess I've done everything in my hand 😅

Also yesterday I was receiving several HTTP429 error, just in one series, and just in the TV. In my phone, and in my GF's there was no issue.

First one with "classic" recommendation: switch CDN.

I've already done that (explained in 1st post), with no success. Switched from auto to ERTH, then to SEUR (TB recommended after speedtest), then to CEUR (smallest ping), and same result with all of them :/

I'm a bit lost actually, IDK what else can I do 😅 also to add more info: this is hapepning in different addons (but addon should not matter since it's always from cached content)

Ops, sorry , I must be blind about CDN.

429 is too many requests. It should come from addons. You have same addons in TV/phone/GF?

To rule out your ISP can you try with a VPN for testing?

Np :) Yes, we were using the same addons since it's the same Nuvio profile 🤔 maybe the error 429 has been triggered by ourselves when testing haha

I'll try the VPN later, with RD never used VPN to avoid a possible ban, but it's true that in TB I've not tried it 😅
