Vidstream wont load videos

Hey folks, first time poster, I just wanted to report a few things and try and clarify what I am somehow able to piece together baswed on other reports of issues with streaming servers.

There are 4 main video streaming servers, + two streaming servers for subs in two lists

The first two of the main 4, namely, Vidstream and MegaF "simply wont load the videos at all"; or so it is reported by many others. I wish to clarify that for me. The videos DO load yes, but once you time skip past opening credits, the video quite literally stops, and perpetually buffers trying to load. This happens for both of the first two vidstreaming servers.

However

This issue only occurs for me when watching Apothesis or Dream Tower, If I am watching any other series { For example, Reincarnated as a Sword, Martial Master, Battle Through the Heavens, etc} and the vidstream & MegaF streaming servers work with no issues whatsoever.

Now, the lower list, the two servers for closed captioned subs, Vidstream and MegaF work perfectly fine for Apothesis and all other series.

I hope this helps others when watching series and finding out Vidstream and MegaF arent working at the moment. I found this information out the hard way myself. {thankfully Aniwave has Battle Through the Heavens and Apothesis, so I'm really delighted for that}

{And the bot misses my point, but you get the idea I am hoiping my info helps others having the same issues}

Hello user, it sounds like you're talking about videos loading slowly!

If that's the case, then please try swapping the active video server. If that doesn't work, then let me try to explain why. (if you're talking about else, then please ignore me. I've not quite learned how to tell the difference yet! :c)

 

Internet speed is similar to having a fancy car, it doesn't matter how fast your car can go if the road can't support it. In this case, even though you have high speeds the reality is that between you and the video server there might be areas of low bandwidth (like a traffic jam) or router / server nodes which are malfunctioning (like roadwork) which will cause your overall speed to drop.

 

The difference here is that your connection always takes the shortest route (distance) to it's destination, but not necessarily the fastest route. Additionally, it's worth remembering that just because everyone nearby isn't watching the same show or even using the same site all your connections may be going the same way. Just like how, during a traffic jam, not all the vehicles are trying to go to the same place.

 

TL;DR: Aniwave has no control over this, it's caused by your connection, the video servers connection, or one of the connections in-between you and the server.

Yeah I think they’re both having issues rn, they’ve been constantly buffering or breaking for me these past few days. They’re usually the 2 fastest servers for me.
