How could Mixer not get their service running smoothly with the introduction of Ninja with all his viewers. I followed him across from Twitch but I have just been frustrating myself with Mixer. There is no PS4 or Apple TV app, so I can't watch him on my TV. I can't always catch him live so I want to catch up on past streams. Good luck to anyone trying to stream a VOD. It is literal ****. It buffers continuously to the point where I just quit and close Mixer and go watch Youtube or twitch. Mixer, if you want to build your platform, you will have to get your app across platforms and sort out your playback issues, otherwise all that money you paid Ninja, you will not get back in viewership.

VODs at the moment seem to not support a large amount of people who would use them, which are mobile and users with low-end connections (or people with both). People use VODs to catch up on a stream they missed, re-watch moments or to check out what a streamer is like.

For many people this may be watching a VOD while out (e.g on a bus, work, school etc.), which will be done on either a slow public wifi connection or mobile data. Whilst the mobile data may be able to playback the VOD, watching the stream at source quality will lead to the user using up their data plans so people will avoid watching them.

480p is a good quality to provide for smaller streamers since it is less taxing on bandwidth and is watchable on mobile devices due to their screens PPI.

The same could be said about the streams themselves, by having it automatically add 480p transcoding to channels who have consistant 4+ average viewers for the past month and have over 100 followers. Otherwise smaller streamers will continue to move to other streaming platforms which provide this to streams with MUCH lower requirements.

Whilst I understand it does take more to provide this kind of service, it keeps viewers and streams in as currently it is one of the main reasons I hear of people not moving to mixer/moving away from it. For example I see streamers on mixer who are sitting with 70+ viewers and 2,000+ followers without any other quality options than source.

Hi, I'm SaberToothYT. Here is a problem... for a youtuber like me who can't yet afford a capture card to record I've need to rely on Mixer's VOD service ever since Twitch started charging. But you see, this is where the problem lies... There are decent CHUNKS that are corrupted in EVERY VOD! It makes it difficult to edit or just ruins that portion outright! I'm constantly running into chunks of the VOD with a green glitch at the bottom and a differently colored mirrored clip on the right side while the good clip is on the left! Please help those who need this platform for the clips!

Hello, my name is ZevHadar and I am an avid content creator on many platforms throughout the internet. I completely understand building and implementing a "Clip" tool similar to other competing streaming platforms is a lot more difficult than I could imagine.

I want to introduce the idea of mounting a quality selection tool for VODs and Downloading VODs. I have no problem, while the "Clips" tool is still be developed, downloading VODs and editing them on my own. My only issue is that the base quality of the VOD is next to awful and wish that saved VODs could try to achieve closer-to-original quality.
