I'm watching the fight now and have experienced the buffering issues. Bit embarrassing for a company that fundamentally only does a single thing, which is this. Also, yeah, 900k TC and whatnot but irl you get this. Mediocre.

- spencerchubb 2y agolivestream is quite different from streaming pre-processed video, so I'm not surprised by the scaling issues
- moralestapia 2y agoI know. But given how much they spend on engineering, how much time they had and how important this event is ... mediocre performance.
- jhugo 2y agoAll true, but this part of your GP comment: > a company that fundamentally only does a single thing, which is this … isn’t true. From the couch, watching Suits and watching a live sports match may seem similar but they’re very different technical problems to solve.
