@StrYtotally agree with you. To back up our observations I did some download testing (via download link). Added multiple videos to download simultaneously and the speeds seem to be capped to about 200 KB/s per thread. I decided to dig deeper and tried the dowload with a multithreaded DL manager: Speeds do not scale. This is clearly BW restrictions on the server side. To be completely sure, I tried downloading a test file from the same server ISP in same location. Full speeds. I hope you guys can overcome these limitations! I'm all for supporting your work. Hope to be able to get a stable experience soon!

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.

Hi! I'm looking into subscribing to Floatplane, but before that I'd like to know if the platform supports casting the videos to an Apple TV. Am I able to login to the platform with mobile Safari, start playback and send it to Apple TV? Some content providers block it. This is my preferred watching method for LTT / Youtube content, and I would like to retain the same experience. Thanks! Rafael
