Hi Guys,
Just subscribed this morning with Paypal, 0 issues on the subscription / payment end.
On playback experience though... instant regret... Constant buffering and interruptions in 1080p and 720p. It loads, I can watch the whole video, but with 20 10s interruptions during playback.
I'm watching from Brazil, 120mbit link, Youtube, Vimeo, basically any Streaming platform flows perfectly even in 4K. I understand Floatplane doesn't have a huge decentralized mirror servers across the globe, but the peering to BR is just too slow.
I observed that, for this scenario, the bandwidth saving algorithm seems too aggressive. It allows only a few buffered seconds after each interruption. I believe this issue be solved with a less aggressive buffering rule. Maybe you could set that by GeoIP / distance from server.
It seems perfectly plausible that, if the buffering window wasn't so narrow, I could be watching the entire video in one go - despite a longer wait time for playback start . Unfortunately the way it is now, at least for me, it is not usable.
Cheers.
