Replying To icehonesty: "Does anyone else have fierce trouble with RTE Player?" Crashes all the time and you have to shut it down and and go through the 2 mins of ads every time galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1678 - 15/11/2020 20:44:21 2309625 Link

Replying To keeper7: "Yeah it's usually crap & with a shed load of ads." If people had to pay a cost for ad free would you pay? Might be an option. would also allow RTE put more money into improving the service as well KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3510 - 15/11/2020 21:22:26 2309656 Link
Replying To KillingFields: "If people had to pay a cost for ad free would you pay? Might be an option. would also allow RTE put more money into improving the service as well" Rte should have enough resources to improve the service if you look at what their top presenters get. I've no issue with the ads it's that it constantly crashes and you have to watch the 2 mins of ads again and particularly during a game its extremely frustrating Compare that to the All4 app which is also free and never crashes. I dont understand how after all these years it's still so poor galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1678 - 15/11/2020 23:52:40 2309740 Link

Channel 4 has extensive more income and can therefore spend far more on things like its playback player. KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3510 - 16/11/2020 11:20:27 2309900 Link
I usually use the mobile app and cast it on to the chromecast and it works well. Quality is good and ads aren't too bad. DL_Man (Donegal) - Posts: 145 - 16/11/2020 11:36:16 2309917 Link
Is it a lot worse streaming live events than playback for TV shows? Not sure how that works but the streaming has to rely on a good signal from the venue first. Contention must impact it too, if 3 people want to stream a game versus 10,000. Quality of broadband too, does it always work badly, does your neighbour have same problem on the same broadband provider? No-one else on other devices in the house at the same time. Tiktok! Anyways, they spent too much effort and money on making the Player look good without improving coverage first. If we pay for a TV licence we should be able to log in for an ad-free service. RTE should redo the Player and get the people who do the TG4 Player. Better streaming for matches and you can download programmes to watch offline. Doesn't look fancy but it works.

The ads are crystal clear, the rest are muck. And also there seems to be a delay of 30 secs on the player with live games as opposed to TV. republicofcloone (Leitrim) - Posts: 375 - 16/11/2020 13:44:25 2310048 Link
are yous using the app or the website. The app is always the best way to go whether on a pc or a phone or whether you are watching BT SPORT, Sky sports, or whatever. If there is an app available always use that. s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5518 - 19/11/2020 21:04:27 2311554 Link
It's useless, thought it might be a problem with the broadband here, keeps on stalling, gave up on it, couldn't even watch a 3 min video on it.... Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2747 - 19/11/2020 21:50:53 2311568 Link
