Hello,
for a couple of months now I've been having a problem with some, but not all, channels on www.twitch.tv .
Most channels will work just fine, without any trouble. There are, however, other channels that simply will not load at all when I try to access them - even though others can watch them perfectly fine. (For me, it gets stuck at loading video - until at some point I get "unable to load video" as an error message.) I was able to watch the channels in question from a different location (using the same computer, but another internet connection) so I assume my connection has to be responsible somehow - which is why I chose this forum.
Interestingly, the channels that don't work are small ones with very few viewers (friends of mine just streaming their games). Bigger streams with thousands of viewers have always worked for me.
I've tried different browsers, tried opening ports on my router (1935, 443, 843 - I found those numbers somewhere on a twitch help forum), but so far without success. There have also been occasions where I could watch those small streams - but only for a limited time, and seemingly randomly, not after having changed something.
An example of a stream that almost never works for me: http://www.twitch.tv/sambench
An example of a stream that I've never had a problem with: http://www.twitch.tv/trumpsc
Does anybody have an idea as to what might be causing this? Are there any differences in how 'small' personal streams and 'large' professional ones are handled?
Any help would be much appreciated!
