@tibo_maker hello! Have sent a DM, appreciate you may not be alerted to it as I’m not verified. Cheers!

Went to a friend’s house to watch Eurovision. It was great. We made pithy comments. Then, at the end, I suddenly realised how much better it has been in the past on my own reading twitter. I got home, read twitter. God you’re good at this. This particular night excels.

@CornwellDaniel Well it's nice to see some points. I guess it gets more political with the public vote, forgot this new format!

[Pat @patc57]

Do I have to come out of Twitter retirement because we're winning Eurovision currently?

[Pat @patc57]

@r3belgrrl I don't believe it!

@TeamYouTube Rather maddeningly, it has just resolved itself as if the youtube Gods were listening. Thanks for the link, that will be handy if it ever happens again.

@TeamYouTube There is a very strange problem live streaming at 4k/60fps. I have changed nothing in the year I've been streaming but now 'buffer health' on playback runs to zero causing buffering no matter what connection or device I use. The other resolutions are fine. 1/2

[Pat @patc57]

@TeamYouTube The problem occurs on every device, (Windows 10, Mac OS X, iOS, Android), every connection (a 1Gbps leased line, a fibre broadband connection, a 5G cell connection) and every browser, Chrome, Safari, Firefox etc. The problem is at your end. Watch the streams at 4K, then reply.

[Pat @patc57]

@TeamYouTube I can give you several examples of other streams also which aren't mine which exhibit exactly the same behaviour. Please attempt to watch the ones I sent you in 4k/60fps and watch the buffer health. Let me know what you see.

[Pat @patc57]

@TeamYouTube That was a terrible and wrong answer. Please try again.

[Pat @patc57]

Let me clarify also - it is in 4k/60 playback mode that buffer health goes to zero, playing in other resolutions is fine. Doesn't make sense given the stream you're downsampling for other resolutions is completely in tact and they all play back fine. Thanks for any insight 4/2.

[Pat @patc57]

I don't want to lose history or links to these streams by ending them/starting a new profile but I am certain at this point that the problem is at your end given other resolutions are fine and you're receiving a 4k/60fps stream from my 1Gbit leased line with no issues. Help! 3/2

@Natures_Voice Yes, a birthday treat for me, I’m going to watch my own cams here in Sheffield (https://t.co/ypmj8eLuCf) and choose a random hour!

[Pat @patc57]

@Natures_Voice Looking forward to the #BigGardenBirdWatch this weekend. Feel free to use any of the cameras from my channel! https://t.co/w79ZI3mzfm

Gosh this is a good thread.
