Is it just me, or does it keep buffering for anyone else?

  It's really smooth here in Malaysia.

  Works fine in 720p here (France).

  On some linux configurations flash 11.x doesn't seem to work with livestream. A handful of seconds play then it permanently buffers. One solution is to use the python program livestreamer (http://livestreamer.tanuki.se/en/latest/index.html http://livestreamer.tanuki.se/en/latest/index.html) to play the stream in vlc.

    Same thing here. I am unable to watch this in the browser on Linux. Flash on Android doesn't work either. Using the Livestreamer script with VLC now.

    Thank you so much! It fixed the problem 100% I didn't know about the streaming problem with Flash on Linux. That would explain some past problems I've had with other websites.

    It seems to work in chrome with pepperflash, and not work (buffers) in firefox with the regular flash plugin.

    It's available in Debian repositories as `livestreamer`. Command line for Rosetta live stream is: $ livestreamer "http://new.livestream.com/accounts/362/events/3544091" best

    Great tool, thanks for the heads-up! For Ubuntu one needs to install the GetDebs PPA: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/getdeb_apps?dist=trusty http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/getdeb_apps?dist=trusty or build from source

      Livestreamer is in the normal universe repo.

        Not in 14.04 LTS. Looks like they added it in 14.10.

      Or just install it using the python package manager 'pip' Yes you won't get shiny apt-get upgrade powers. But it does install apps like this one directly on pretty much any linux distro.

  It kept buffering for me in Firefox but worked fine in Chrome.
