I’ve built up a (very) small collection of Ultraviolet videos, a grand total of 17 so far apparently.
But I’ve never managed to watch any of them.
Why?
Well I can download the videos and even stream them online, but the quality is less that perfect. I don’t just mean streaming via my embarrassment of a connection at home, but even through my 80+Mbps work connection.
And by less than perfect I mean grainy and jerky video. Even on downloads.
I used to blame my old Surface Pro 2, but secretly I knew that should have easily taken this in its stride.
But I’ve just tried using my new XPS 15 laptop to watch something, and guess what – it’s no better, and this is a comparative beast of a machine.
Sure it warned me that due to the scaling I have for the 4K screen, playback wouldn’t work full screen, but it isn’t working well enough in and scenario, windowed or full screen, downloaded or streamed.
I linked the account to Flixster, but I doubt this is just a problem for them.
So am I doing something wrong? I pretty much know what I’m doing with a computer so if I’m having trouble I’d be arrogant enough to assume I’m not the only one.
For the moment, I’m at a loss on what to do next. So I’ll move on and worry about this some other time.
It’s a shame as the concept offered so much.
