Slow-motion video + Audio skipping #261

Open SayHelloRosco opened 10 years ago

SayHelloRosco commented 10 years ago

When trying to watch videos on YT, VODs/Streams of Twitch, etc., the video will play in slow motion, with the audio skipping. Pausing for a little but and then resuming doesn't help. I tried screwing with the ringbuffer size, I tried using 3 different players (MPC-HC, VLC, MPV), I tried decreasing quality, etc. Nothing helped. I am still getting this issue. The video will start and play normally for a few seconds, and then it starts playing slowly.

Could you give some examples of videos with this problem? Also, the command that you run would be helpful.

Here is an example. But it's every video I try to watch. I enter "livestreamer twitch.tv/speeddemosarchivesda/b/493290267 best (any quality has this problem) --player C:\Users(My Name)\MPC-HC\mpc-hc.exe" Again, I also tried VLC and MPV, which both also suffered from this issue.

No idea what the problem could be, but perhaps it might be useful to download to a file (livestreamer --output ), then play the file in a separate step, to isolate Livestreamer and the player.
