Thanks DigitalDame. I've been continuosly testing the gamespot site and it has improved; Videos are back since the offending ads were removed and performance has improved in all regular videos. sooner or later I'm going to figure out exactly what is going wrong and either tell you or work on the offending code. thanks

so here is my further tally on android and iphone.

Iphone: Mercury Browser: flawless delivery of videos, but 60fps videos stutter; Safari Browser: flawless video delivery across the board; Chrome: good performance too.

Android: Firefox; stutters like crazy no matter what: Chrome works fine, but 60fps stutter.

So, I've continued my testing on different computers, different video cards. same deal, it runs better on IE than the other browsers.

but recently it's stopped playing all together, seems the banner ads showing up before the videos during the video ads is messing with the playback, some flag or other isn't being triggered so the actual video doesn't play, it hangs.

Hi, this is a problem I have been noticing for a long time.

so I started trouble shooting everything and found out it must be your site. I have used Chrome, Firefox in all it's forms and Internet Explorer too, Turned off add-ons, set up privacy mode in all of them and it stutters bad, it's worst on Firefox and intermittent stuttering on IE.

Your videos on YouTube sometimes do this but it resolves itself after a few days... and for some reason your 60fps videos run flawlessly... which brings me to the conclusion that there is something going on that is not quite right.

What are you 60fps videos doing that the regular videos are not and your ads run flawlessly except on ie.

Stuttering video across all browsers.
flawless ads. flawless 60fps videos...

You guys need to check how your ads and 60fps videos are delivered to the users, could be that specific options are not turned on in the regular videos.

And do you guys have debug reports on how videos are being delivered? could be the format, encoding, or even the coding of the video stream itself. With debug reports you could find out what the problem is and if any users are experiencing choppy playback, may as well check the options.

Thank you,

Just want to make sure that the videos run perfect, this is my favorite source for game news after all... I would rather stay on site then go to YouTube.

Hi... There seems to be a unintentioanl funneling of content; By that I mean that I can only find videos which are great(just think how funny it would be to find the crappy ones too), but I like the articles and I don't mind podcasts, they are very convenient to listen to at work.

Would it be possible to add more variety to the media used for your content? At the moment I have a very hard time finding the Articles that I liked in the past, besides making the media more easily find-able will give you accurate feedback on what people prefer.

Thank you.
