Recently, a streamer that I watch VODs of has switched to 1080p 45 fps which requires me to now buffer VODs for a good 5-10 minutes before I get enough buffer to watch for at least a solid 45 minutes or so. However, I noticed that the VOD will randomly stop buffering the video. Meaning I'll let it buffer for like 5 minutes, but then while I'm watching, it randomly stops buffering until I reach the end of the buffer, then it starts to buffer more. Shouldn't it just keep buffering? It's virtually made it impossible now for me to watch VODs without being frustrated at having to wait for it to buffer every 15-20 minutes because it randomly decides to stop further buffering.
I've tried on both Chrome and Firefox, and have the same issues. I know it's not my connection, because I can use other video services on other websites and get a constant stream when buffering a video without a problem.
