Sure it's not your network ? Hardwired or WiFi ? Tried rebooting your router ?
ISP throttling maybe ? Did you try enabling a VPN, just in case ?
Would probably help to specify what movie you are referring to. Maybe it is the specific movie that has an issue.
sorry stream type mpegts or hls im not the only one claiming this i know of 2 other friends claiming the same

Don't think stream type makes a difference on VOD (it is a direct stream of an mp4 file - at least for the zookeepers wife.).Quote:

2 different servers, and 2 different sets of rules for ISP blocking Forgot the whole ISP blocking issue ? some services were affected and others were not.Quote:

There are so many possible factors, but for sure, it is not the wicked server, since it works flawlessly for myself and dishuser. The issue is either on your ISP (throttling, routing, etc..), your internal network (wifi, router, flakey network switch, etc..), or your box that is choking.
Saying you are "sure" it is not on your end is a load of cr@p. You are not sure of anything (at least not regarding your movies).
Just because you have some other backup server that "works" means nothing. It's always great to have a backup, but that does not mean when one works, and another doesn't that your end is flawless. The backups may not be throttled/blocked by your ISP (since it is not big enough to be on any radar). The backup may also be streaming at extremely low bitrates (LiveTV and movies), that it does not even register a blip for any potential throttle, or even a defective switch.
A few years back, I was sure everything was perfect at my place, yet when I tried to stream certain things, they were choppy. Others were perfectly fine. After days of swapping out hardware, it turned out it was some dumb dlink crappy switch (which my box was not even connected to), that was on my network, and it was causing havoc during certain activities. Needless to say, I ripped it out, and have slowly switched out all my gear for mostly enterprise grade managed gear. Things are rock solid.
im not using a vpn on other provider the movies worked fine on wicked til 2 days ago
i see what youre saying but my 2 other biddies using wicked are on different isp than me
so that means it isn't user error?Quote:

If you are on WiFi, can you "try" a wired connection (if possible), just to rule out your WiFi choking ?
Good evening, is anybody getting slow channel changes and if you exit and try to get back in the message bad gateway pops up?
Eventually you get in after a few attempts.
Thanks
been changing channels with no issues :thumbsup:Quote:

No steam sense 9pm monday.
With XC login, there were a few issues last night with the bad gateway messages, some channels not streaming and catchup was flaky at one point. But by 11pm eastern time, most of it was back to normal. I even went back and watched some catchup which I had missed earlier in the evening (since I was busy with other stuff). And no "apparent" issues this morning.
Anyone else on mac with no steam?
everyoneQuote:
