Has anyone experienced an issue where it locks up when cutting to commercial? I can avoid it by fast forwarding before it cuts to commercial but am screwed otherwise. I have to go back and start from the beginning or live and I usually start it late.
I have replicated the issue on Roku, fire TV, and xbox on multiple feeds. Weird thing is it only does it on some days.. not all.
There are various quirks with NHLTV. That is one of them. Another is fast forwarding. I don't even use that feature because it works so poorly, and often ends up with the application getting locked.
Its streaming video. As a broadcast medium, it is much less reliable than more traditional broadcast mediums (e.g., cable TV). That tends to be the problem in general with "all-things Internet". The standards for reliability are so low (or worse, there are none).
When the earlier derivatives of the Internet (Arpnet) were introduced, it was designed as a "best attempt" type of service. Things are better now with additional functions at the Layer 7 application level, but definitely not the five 9s type reliability. If your message (data) got there, great. If not, just send it again. I use the Apple TV device by the way. You need rock solid wireless LAN to have something reasonably reliable for these services.
