This addon is unwatchable now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Buffer freeze buffer freeze.Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease fix..........Angry
My experience as an international subscriber is that games that play flawlessly are 4 hops away located in my ISP's data centre with a 14ms ping.
For me in .au, games that buffer terribly are 20+ hops away in another country (sometimes singapore, sometimes japan) and 200+ ms ping and often with packet loss.
My ISP blames MLB and MLB blames my ISP. Just fucking annoying.

So don't be quick to blame the add-on. Have you done any troubleshooting yourself or complained to MLB.tv and your ISP?
I think changing stream quality from best available to 5000 kbps has helped me some the last couple days. Video quality looks the same to me with that setting, still 60 fps, etc..
The top of the 8th inning of the game I'm watching wasn't good, but otherwise not many issues..
I am not international subscriber. Worked perfectly till a week and a half ago. MLB.TV works perfect. It is this addon!!! What a shame the quality of this addon was MUCH better then mlb.tv Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease fix eracknaphobia......................................Confused
app is still working great here in the Netherlands. Only on Sunday when the bulk of the games is played at the same time it buffers.
COME ON please fix,its even worse!!!!!!!!Tongue

if anything MLB.tv needs to fix their servers. This plugin has no influence on the network speed/quality besides selecting a bandwidth/speed,
You should select a low bandwidth,
Looks like BAMTech is getting some serious investments (they are the infrastructure behind MLB.tv), latest is $1 billion from Disney

Walt Disney Company Acquires Minority Stake in BAMTech
ESPN to Launch Over-the-Top Sports Service

Quote:BAMTech, which has been separated from the broader MLB Advanced Media business, powers MLB.tv, the league’s out-of-market video subscription service. It also serves other clients including Time Warner’s HBO Now, WWE Network, Sony’s PlayStation Vue internet TV service, the PGA and Glenn Beck’s TheBlaze. According to Major League Baseball, BAMTech handles video distribution and other services for nearly 7.5 million total paid subscribers on behalf of clients.

The National Hockey League owns a minority stake in BAMTech, after the NHL signed a six-year deal last summer with MLB Advanced Media under which MBLAM assumed the management of NHL’s TV broadcasting and Internet-streaming operations.

FWIW, the add-on has been working fine on my laptop - running Gotham! Anyone experiencing issues should upload a debug log (wiki).

Isn't 5000k 720p 60fps the "best available", at least via hls? If not, what are the values of the higher quality?
I ve a IPad and a Apple4 as backup here in Germany and the last days there are the same Problems like the addon, but they can slow down the quality that helps a little bit.

Youtube, NFL, NBA no Problems, also Germany TV Olympia Streams. NHL Full Games are unwatcheble, Highlights works fine.

I ve tested on 2 different locations with different ISP. 12 Mbit and 35 Mbit Connection.
