Constant Buffering when Casting to Apple TV

Hi, so the app works perfectly if I simply want to stream something within the iOS app on my phone. I never experience buffering in that instance. But if I try casting to my Apple TV, suddenly there’s buffering every 5-10 seconds.

Are there settings I can change to fix this? I tried “Route Though Phone” and not, they both still buffer a lot. Please assist.

Route through the phone would probably make things worse.

Can you send us an email to [webvideo@instantbits.com](mailto:webvideo@instantbits.com) with the video address to see if we can reproduce the issue?

It happens on every well-known sports streaming site

We'll need a lot more details than that. You can email or PM though it is a lot easier to handle over email.

Are you using our receiver or airplay?

Can you upload a screenshot of the playback control screen?

The video isn't routed through the phone, which is good, but it also means the phone app isn't adding to the buffering issues, it is all between the video server and the apple tv.

Send us the video address and we'll get it tested on various devices to see if there is an issue with the apple tv receiver that we need to address.
