new wicked iptv server is up for testing

[dishuser]

I tried cyberghost vpn connected to Canada, USA and a few other countries and still froze on each of them.
Any setup on the e5 buzz box can be creating my freezing on those local nbc feeds?

Tried a few different internet providers and still same bad result .

pick hls for stream format

No difference ..I’m just gonna watch it where it works great.
A few other people confirmed they have the same issue as me.
The nbc channels were working great until the game started
Thanks

I tried a few NBC local feeds and they did have some freezing. Some were worse than others. The San Antonio TX feed was solid for me.

However for the E5 box (which is a very nice box), be careful with VPN running on the box. Some VPN protocols may be quite heavy for the entry level boxes. When using Windscribe, I typically use Wireguard or basic UDP for IPTV purposes. They are the lightest.

In the past, I also found on these entry level boxes, once you start enabling VPN, watching an FHD feed, and enabling features like TimeShift can take a toll (was the source of glitches a while back for me). They take up precious processing and I/O bandwidth and if the USB key (for TS) is marginal, it is going to cause problems. Maybe enable a 3 to 5 second buffer also, which "can" help also.

Hello my RFD friend. Another useful thing to help, especially with boxes with lower RAM or CPU spec will be disabling energy optimization in the Android apps extended settings. AnyDesk for example will warn you about this now by default. Cheers

CloudFlare error right now as well as per posters above. Server connection timeout

You can verify this by opening the Wicked domains on your cellphone web browser

Edit - we're back

Took 5 tries but got in now

Nothing was done to the E5 box and mysteriously all the freezing stopped on the nbc feeds.
I had a few people reach out to me using a buzz x5 and even a Nvidia box running the wicked apk and they all experienced the same freezing on those channels.
I don’t think memory or cpu usage on the boxes had any impact on todays streams .
All is well because the backup channels worked great.
