Streaming via Flowplayer is lagging and restarts often

[andarkelben]

As of three days ago, all my streams have started lagging all the time. It seems that Flowplayer is only buffering a few seconds and the the video will stop and wait for the buffer to catch up. This happens every 30 seconds or so. Also quite often, if I skip to the middle of a film, that I have just started streaming, Flowplayer will skipp to the chosen spot, load for a couple of senconds, and then restart the film from the beginning. Currently I'm unable to watch a film without buffer issues every 30 seconds. I have updated graphics drivers, run on a 100/100mbit connection without any issues, and have reinstalled Flash and Java, without any luck. I did not change anything on my computer before this issue started, it just appeared out of nothing.

I want to add that the download speeds have been pretty inconsistent as of late.

[hotcars30p]

Agree with above posters. having MAJOR issues for the past 4-5 days. The whole site was down a few days ago and ever since it came back up, i'm getting speeds between 80 - 100 Kbps which is not enough even for the lowest quality stream. I am sitting behind a blazing fast 300 Mbps connection and every other adult site functions without a problem. I have been a customer for 6 months and never had a problem until recently. Did you guys switch CDNs or something ? Please help because I love legalporno.com and at this moment the site is almost unusable for me :-(

Could you please try streaming now?

If the streaming is still slow, could you try to download and share with me in PM

- download link
- screenshot with the download link and speed of download
- country you are using to access the pornbox.

[hotcars30p]

So i just tried out a few scenes from my library and speeds are back to normal now! I'll write another post if i run into further issues but so far everything is working as expected.

Much appreciate the help @Kapoun and thanks for fixing it quickly !!!

I am having the same problems, ever since the new "PornBox" update. Even in VGA mode, nothing ever plays right anymore without constantly pausing/slow buffering barely a couple of seconds ahead at all times. If I try to download, it is well over an hour for even the smallest file. PornBox itself, is even slow to load at times. As mentioned by others here also, if I try to advance the scene, it pauses briefly and restarts. It was never like this, before the update.

Checked all my settings/cookies, have great speeds everywhere else.

As far as what scenes, it seems to be doing it with any & all of them, including scenes bought long ago.
I'm in the USA.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Could you please send me in a PM:

- download link
- screenshot with the download link and speed of download
- country and city you are using to access the pornbox.

I' m with the same problem..

[gonzo83]

I have the same problem as my friend JayJams - for a while he gets at the maximum speed and then he drops to the lowest one for each film - before that everything worked well, what is the problem?

[JayJams]

Still happening, and it is getting very frustrating trying to watch/stream.

Not sure what specific information to give or PM you, as it is happening to ANYTHING I have ever purchased new, or old going back to purchases when I joined 2 years ago. Doesn't matter the scene it is ALL of them. I stream more than I download.

Also simply navigating the new PornBox is slow & clunky. The rest of the LP site & forums works fine, at normal page loading speeds. PornBox different story.
Thank you for your help.

[artista598]

It is frustrating...

I only watch stream and it is impossible to watch any scene.

[Magnus1000]

I joined today and still havent been able to watch a single movie because of the aforementioned delays. All i can do is add movies to my pornbox and hope to watch it later. Download speeds are also very slow (~150 kb/sec).

[error01x]

Same in my pornbox!

[JayJams]

Can't stream cuz of the constant stalling/poor buffering. So, try to download a scene (HD quality) and this is what I get:

This is what it keeps fluctuating between right now about every 5 minutes (3 screen shots best, worst and average times about every minute). Been going on for about a month now. I am about an hour in, since putting all this together (screenshots/post), and still the download is only about half way.

I posting this to the forum/reply Kapoun because it is the only way to upload an attachment. PM's do not allow to upload an attachment, to show you the screen shot. Again, was not like this before the PornBox upgrade/update.

[Instaview2016]

Throwing in my ... DITTO. I can not watch a scene without buffering every 20 secs or so.

[JayJams]

Update GIO283_Gabriella_Lati_HD.mp4

Towards end of download at the very tail end, progress bar never went to 100% but denoted "download complete". Went to play scene (scene is 43:23 long), and scene froze would not progress at 35:06. While I just recently purchased this scene (December 2018), the scene is from 2016.

So I tried another more recent scene:
SZ1962_Wendy_Moon_Francys_Belle_VGA.mp4
...released December 2018/purchased December 2018, and downloaded VGA (lowest quality). It downloaded exceptional quick (under 5 minutes), so when it was done I downloaded same scene again in HD, and it also downloaded very quick (again under 5 minutes).

Tried another recent scene:
GIO780_Lyna_Cypher_HD.mp4
...this downloaded very quick also (under 5 minutes).

So, I decided to try and download the slow/incomplete scene (GIO283_Gabriella_Lati_HD.mp4) again. It downloaded very quickly and complete (under 5 minutes). Thought great! Maybe they just fixed something.

Decided to try two older scenes (one about a year, the other 5 years old), that I purchased a while ago:
Giorgio_Grandi_Exclusive_245_Isabella_Clark_HD.mp4
Released Sept. 2013, purchased May 2017

SZ1219_July_Sun_HD.mp4
Released Jan 2018, purchased Jan 2018

.....nope still extremely slow:

Fluctuating between 1-3 hours, and not entirely sure when it gets to the end, if it will be a complete scene/download.

I would say maybe has something to do with older scenes? But I do not think that's entirely the case. 2nd try on that older Gabrielle Lati (GIO283_Gabriella_Lati_HD.mp4) download worked no problem. And some of the newest scenes I recently purchased will not stream right even in VGA mode.

Anyway, hope this help, thanks !

Although I love the fact that we can finally full screen our movies, I can't stand the fact the I have to watch them in lower quality to see them without buffering every 5 secs.
My new normal, is to watch whichever video isn't buffering like I'm using DSL for as long as I can before it hangs up, then switch over to another site without these issues and watch one of theirs.
Seriously, what is the point of shooting beautiful women in high quality HD if I can't watch it at the quality it was shot?
Is there a rollback we can do to go back to the older Pornbox or do I have to buy a harddrive, maybe several so I can download every scene in my vast library?

Download speeds over the past month have been extremely slow. Is there anything that can be done about this?

Hi JayJams, bobby9934 and error01, today the content distribution system were tuned up.
Please, test the speed on your side now, do you still have an issue with download speed.


IF the issue still exists, please start to download some video and provide the next info to us:
- Your IP
- screenshot from speedtest.net with the speed of your internet connection
- Screenshot with your download speed
- Scene name and File Format that you was trying to download
- Your Geo information (Country, City)

All this information will be forwarded to the CDN provider for investigation.

Hi, I just checked it out, and so far everything is working much better.

Just opening PornBox, the page loaded a lot quicker. My first solo download was vastly improved/speed:

Waited for that to end, then tried streaming a scene in both HD/1080. Both operated/streamed very good, no pausing/buffering problems.

Currently now downloading 2 scenes at once, while also streaming a scene in HD at the same time:

All are downloading at normal speeds, and streaming scene is playing great while the other two are downloading, no hang ups, etc.

Thanks for your help/update!

[alena-vdonsk]

Thanks for your help/update!

Glad to hear it JayJams, enjoy your favorite scenes!

[Dafaulk]

Thaaannnkkkk you!!!! Whatever patch you applied works great. I was able to stream a recent video last night with zero lag or issues. You've ensured that I'll be a subscriber for awhile

[andarkelben]

Sadly this issue has not been fixed for me. Over the past year I've constantly had buffering every 10-30 seconds, when streaming at 4K full screen... buffering goes down a bit, if I leave full screen, but what's the point then?
Also sometimes the buffering gets so bad, movies will crash and start over. I would like to mention, that this is THE ONLY site I'm having problems with.
I am streaming 4K full screen material from several other sites, with no issues what so ever.

My info:
ISP - Fibia/Waoo
Speed - 500/500 mbit - Speedtest attached!
Country - Denmark
GPU - RTX 2070
Monitor - Asus 4K MG28UQ Gaming
CPU - i7-9700K
RAM - 32GB

Same on PS5 browser. 4K Streaming is not possible always restarting.

Same on PS5 browser. 4K Streaming is not possible always restarting.

I find that if you first go to the Store page then back to your library before opening another scene this will fix higher resolutions playback. But it does bug out quite often for sure.

[error01x]

So I have to close the browser every time?
