Jamboman1512 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Just got this email from streampro. Im innocent, wasnt me. Dear Members, THIS EMAIL IS NOT AIMED AT ANYONE IN PARTICULAR AS WE KNOW AND HAVE INFORMED THE CULPRITS. After last weeks downtime we performed some serious upgrades which in a perfect world would have sufficed however some idiotic people thought it would be fun to "share their login ID" this has in effect put a tremendous strain on our already upgraded servers. Imagine if 200 people gave out their user/pass and they in turn gave to another 200 people and so on. One username in particular had 13 login attempts this will simply NOT be tolerated and instant bans without refund will be enforced forthwith.

Jamboman1512 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Wonder who had the thirteen login attempts, i take it they mean thirteen attempts from different computers while the original user was still logged in, be pretty poor of them if they were telling people off if they were just trying to login to their own account but couldnt and had to keep trying.

Footballfirst Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 It shouldn't be beyond the ability of some person with a modicum of IT skills to write a routine that rejects any login attempt from any id that is already logged in. It would soon put a stop to people sharing their id if one of their "mates" was preventing the original subscribed user from logging in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complained to them after Celtic game and got the "We didn`t expect so many would want to watch game ". Got credit and used it for Rangers game. VIP 7 was freezing all the time and VIP20 didn`t work at all. Did all the usual checks deleting browser history, cookies etc AND STILL PISH. Got p2p4u.net and it worked like a charm in the first half, bit jerky in second but watchable. Won`t use them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughesie27 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 the problem here is that too many folk who don't know what they are talking about are too quick to go on a rampage against streampro. In reality it isn't their fault, as many will testify to every other game we have played bar our OF games. For those who were struggling to log in altogether I suggest you try and use a different internet browser to open the site. this isn't the problem but it will definitely fix it short term.

Hughesie - I tried Firefox,Crome and internet Explorer, all had the same problem, either couldnt get on or the picture was jumping. I have noticed in your previous posts that you are quite taken by streampro and if its working for you fine. I have now used the site twice and to be quite honest it doesnt do as it says on the tin. i.e give me a good reliable stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who were struggling to log in altogether I suggest you try and use a different internet browser to open the site. this isn't the problem but it will definitely fix it short term. I know what I'm talking about. Streampro was unusable for the first half last night. I can just about handle the usual stop-start playback you expect from a free stream but Streampro was lagging and then speeding up to catch up. We'd be on the break, it would pause, speed up and the ball would be in the keepers hands. They obviously had 2 streams planned but one fell through so they just mirrored the same stream to both channels. I gave up after 10 minutes and moved over to a free stream that had no lag and of which the quality was pretty good. Pretty much all streams messed up after half time and eventually Streampros started to work and I got about the last 25 minutes from it, all of which was fairly solid and good quality. Changing your browser does absolutely nothing. I have no idea why you even suggested that. I have to use Firefox instead of Chrome due to the limitations of their flash player, other than that there is no difference. Are you invested in Streampro in some way? I can't understand why anyone would defend it so vehemently, even thought It's blatantly obvious that there has been major faults for a lot of people. Yes, when it works, it works well. Yes, the quality is better than other online streams. No, it is not reliable and no, It's not worth paying for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it makes you feel any better they haven`t replied to my latest complaint so looks like if i have done my dough as well. If they do reply "to my strongly worded e-mail this time will let you know" To the absolute sheeeeeeeeiiiiittttte being talked in previous posts about browsers. This was not the reason at all and if you know anything about anything you will know that. If you can get the free streams then streampro should work no problem. They have already told subscribers the alleged problem which was an overloaded server. For Celtic game just didn`t expect the traffic but suspect shared log in`s may have also been the reason as was the excuse for last night. Most important thing about streampro is once your in do not refresh or it will kick you out when server is busy. Sorry lads but the site appears to be Michael Mouse and shouldn`t be taking unlimited amounts of peoples money when they know their server won`t handle it. Bit l;ike a car park taking money when they know it`s full. Shared Log in`s don`t help of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a data network topographist but their website says they are based in northern Spain so might it be 'bottlenecks' over there that are causing their stream to be pants while folk can watch it better on a free stream, one eminating from within the UK perhaps?
