Livestreaming not loading the stream

[FrozenWarrior]

This has become a repeating issue for me lately, to where all I seem to get when I load a Livestream is basically a powerpoint of pictures from the stream with no sound. I've tried updating my flash player, even uninstalling it and reinstalling it to no avail. I've also tried it on all three of my browsers (IE, Firefox, and Chrome) with IE and Firefox telling me that I need to update my flash player even though it is fully up to date. It has become increasingly frustrating for me to not be able to watch streams and end up giving up after 5 minutes.

I have the same problem too. It's like an infinite buffer. It seems that no one else has the problem during the streams. I've heard that it might be an issue with the bandwidth but I usually have a really good connection.

FrozenWarrior,

What type of system are you attempting playback on and are other video sites such as Vimeo and Youtube loading okay? Could you please let us know the following info on your system:

Youtube and Vimeo run as they usually have with the rare buffering hiccup.

As for specs:
Pentium Dual-Core CPU 2.20GHz, 4GB of RAM, and my video card is essentially my motherboard since I run on a laptop at the present time.
Windows 7 64bit

FrozenWarrior,

If you right-click the player window, do you see an option that says 'Toggle Experimental Mode'? If so, please select this option and let me know if your results are improved.

I tried, but nothing appeared beyond Livestream player version, Settings, Global Settings, and Adobe Flash player version

Does this occur on any channel you load? Have you tried any other computers on the same network to see if there is any difference in performance?

I've tried to go to maybe about 10 streams of people I watch and/or friends and I was met with the same result. As for other computers this is the only computer in my home.
