Solve : How to force streaming video to play in SD? |
|
Answer» I'm running into a problem and wanting some HELP... I'm wanting to force some sites to play streamed video in 240p or 360p or 480p without a manual setting on the site and it automatically assumes my internet can handle 1080P and forces that and I get content buffering.... my display is only 720p so some of the resolution is wasted as well... I'm limited to google chrome as the site won't run on anything else... any suggestions? I've installed a data saver extension for chrome and it just finds a way around it and forces 1080p and the content buffering happens again.... any help would be good! i'm willing to try everythingMore details are needed. More details are needed. I'm trying to use Directv now and I use the only supported operating system windows more specifically windows 7 on a laptop with 8 GB ram SSD and a 4th gen i5-4300u integrated graphics and google chrome.... i'm running on my old Samsung LCD 720p TV... i'm supposed to get 10 down 1 up from my isp but never get more than 7 down 0.5 up ever.... normally It's the only one streaming and others might be on facebook or something but normally no other video is being streamed while this computer is streaming video.... i'm using a archer c2 from tp-link for my router but normally bypass it and have this PC on ethernet running to the ISP supplied Modem so it's the fastest possible speed which is only like 0.30 MBPS faster than the router.... I have fast enough speeds for 1080p but after like 20 min my buffer runs out and video FREEZES every min as it pauses to load more and resumes only to run otta buffer and pause again... this is annoying when trying to watch tvMy thoughts on this would be to trick the site to detecting you at a slower bandwidth to get the lower quality forced. To do this you would need a Router that supports making QoS configuration to create a bandwidth cap on the system that is connected to internet, and this way the website that the streaming is from is tricked into assuming you have a slower internet connection and then maybe it will be forced to 360 or 720 vs 1080p etc. I have seen people do this for Roku devices to get a lesser bandwidth consuming feed on their streaming for people who want to run a Roku through a tethered phone which has a bandwidth plan that the show is fine at a lesser bandwidth/resolution to try to avoid going over their data cap so quickly etc. Netflix and other sites will detect what you have for bandwidth and then it will sync at the higher resolution unless you trick it to thinking you have a slower internet connection. You would need to specify the MAC address to the router for the computer that will be bottlenecked in bandwidth. All other devices on your internet connection would be full speed internet, but this one computer would be forced to a slower internet connection to get the sync at a lower resolution. This may take playing with values for download setting of QoS ( Quality of Service ) until you find a value that works all the time that gives plenty of bandwidth for the resolution that you want without meeting the threshold for 1080p which would cause buffering etc. |
