Pour another one out for Rdio 🍻

I had someone ask me "What app is the definition of great design for you?" My answer is and will always be Rdio. An app ahead of its time. /cc @nkreeger @ian @stevel @mikelrsmith and more 🥲

[Stephen Lau @stevel]

@repeatingbeats @nkreeger @ian @mikelrsmith it was seriously the best. to this day i meet people that go into huge nostalgic raves about rdio when i tell them i worked there

@BlindsDotCom Was on hold for 40 minutes before giving up. I assume my order that still says "Estimated delivery: 5/29-6/3" is not happening.

@Alpholio @KatLS DRM and playback behaviour are very different for VOD/DVR (e.g. recorded content on YTV or Netflix) vs. live. You can build up an indefinite buffer on VOD/DVR, but you can't on live due to trying to keep the live latency as low as possible.

[Stephen Lau @stevel]

@Alpholio @KatLS What framerate (60 or 30fps) do you get w/ your 1080P and 720P playbacks?

[Stephen Lau @stevel]

@mattrcarroll @YouTubeTV Nevermind, we've found the issue. Should have a fix tomorrow; thanks for letting us know about the bug!

[Stephen Lau @stevel]

@mattrcarroll @YouTubeTV Any chance you would mind DM'ing me your IP address? We think we know what the issue is (low confidence geo-IP resolution if you care for the nitty gritty details, but need to try to repro w/ an IP)

@TujuMaster @TeamYouTube Any chance you would mind DM'ing me your IP address? We think we know what the issue is (low confidence geo-IP resolution if you care for the nitty gritty details, but need to try to repro w/ an IP)

[Stephen Lau @stevel]

@TujuMaster @TeamYouTube Hey man, I don't presume to judge what others might consider fun. :p That being said, we've had a couple of reports that seem similar to this so we're looking into it. Hopefully we'll have a fix soon!

[Stephen Lau @stevel]

@DaleACooke @YouTubeTV Thanks, if you're still experiencing this today, would you mind turning on the "Stats for Nerds" feature in the player window and giving me the video ID & CPN (you can just take a photo or screenshot and send it to me), so we can try and trace the playback and debug?

[Stephen Lau @stevel]

@DaleACooke @YouTubeTV Which app/platform are you seeing this on?
