Argyle Ifollow

[Mark Smith]

Working well for me, plus Radio Devon commentary

Shame it's only for overseas subscribers!

Whats the quality like? I'm tempted to subscribe! I wanted to try a one match subscription, but they're not offering that yet.

About SD on a 50", sometimes stutters but eminently watchable.

Sounds good - do you stream it from your mobile to a chromecast or something similar?

Just got in a bit late and logged on. The video quality isn't a patch on last week, watchable (just)

My apologies to iFollow, the video had reverted to Auto rather than HD.

Laptop to TV via hdmi

Chrome, two tabs, one with commentary other with picture maximised

Will try Edge in second half to see if smoother video

 

[Mark Smith]

Edge much smoother and better in HD even on a 50"

Finally logged into ifollow once I received my discount for money owed for Argyle player, the picture was good it froze twice in 1st half and once in 2nd but just refreshed and then good, then set up 2nd screen with audio feed, audio was about 5-10 secs behind video in first half and about 15-20 in 2nd.

But yes it was worth the extra expense from last year.

I was on Edge, will try Chrome and Firefox next game

I have to say, ifollow is growing on me a little. I got my refund off them in the end and I have re-subbed for this season and apart from the App cutting out occasionally on my phone I am happy with the service on offer.

Not perfect but: Keep the audio on and pause the picture at an obvious point in the action. Restart the picture when audio has caught up with that event. Need to do that a couple of times per game but not bad. Really they should do it for us!

Great tips Mark_Smith - Cheers. Think I'll sign up this week.

Maybe we should have a ifollow sticky for tips/advice?

Tried the live iFollow stream for the first time yesterday and it wasn't that great!

First half, the picture kept freezing, often at the most vital moments (rather reminiscent of the early days of the Argyle World commentary!). Second half, picture was better but the (sound effects) audio had a break every second or so making it unlistenable. However, once the game and stream ended and the music came on it was perfect!

I was just wondering if these problems were at my end for some reason or if they were on the general stream. I tried three different browsers and my link is 30Mbps plus so I should be OK but perhaps there's something more I can do to make it more reliable.

Did anyone else have these problems?
