I would like to see how many happy OSX users are on Justin tv. It feels like they didn't test for usability at all. I asked them how it could be possible to code a player that is capable of playing HD flash at 1fps. Yes - 1 f p s, whereas other sites can play it fluidly(1). It's as if breaking stuff is their motto and answering user questions on how to solve it or explain why it happens is not. Overall, their product is good enough to make me pay for a stream or two. But, as a user used to free video, that eventually pays for yours and you can't deliver, - ouch. edit: (1) Downvotes, pfft . What a joke.

You're assuming that they actually have real control over player performance on your particular hardware setup, when in fact they have almost no control over it. Go ask Adobe and Apple why flash video (especially anything that isn't h.264) playback occasionally (definitely if you're talking about pre-10.6) sucks on OS X.

  Why is your reading comprehension so bad? I said other sites play HD streams very well. I've got a high end Macbook air 10.6 for your information, but they already should know that since I asked their support about it and failed to get a response.

    Please give me examples of these other sites that take heterogeneous user generated live streams of varying codecs, profiles, etc. that are being delivered to the flash player that perform much better than Justin on your Macbook. I think you do not understand the underlying technology well enough to be pointing fingers at Justin's player.

We use almost 100% OSX at the office (with smatterings of Ubuntu) so I have to say: yes, we have a lot of happy OSX users. If anything it's the IE users on Windows who should be annoyed. I watch from home on my macbook air constantly and from work on an old mac mini, so I don't think it's a general OSX issue. What kind of hardware are you on? Which OS version?

  Explain why my streams at 720p and up are unplayable on my top end macbook air 10.6 . I have asked how to fix it via Justin.tv support and had no response. Honestly, I would not give a shit, but since I paid $25 bucks, I would expect to see what I pay for... uh ?

    That's very strange. Maybe it's a flash version issue? Because I watch NASL all the time on my air (which sounds like the same hardware as yours but maybe slightly worse) and it runs great. Well, flash drains my battery like nothing else, but that's just flash video. Same thing happens to me on YouTube.

      Well, me too. I paid for the NASL stream and couldn't watch it. Surely, you can understand that throwing $25 away without getting the service kind of sucks. To contrast it against an HD stream from gomtv, these GSL games stream/re-play archives beautifully without any stutters. So I want to be a fan, a paying fan, but it's kind of a bummer that I can't.
