Just went on to watch the ESL games and the video was really grainy. Went back to the older videos which used to be very clear and same issue. Did the stream resolution get lowered or something?

nope, still using 1280 x 720 with same bit rate as well. Looks fine to me, not sure what to say :(.

Odd, some clanmates said the same thing was happening for them. Hopefully it's just some weird temporary thing because I love my daily Honcast!

I noticed it as well, it seems like your resolution is messed up. I can take screenshots if you want, it was fine for me up until last week.
It wasn't the quality of the picture, but when I tried to watch the video on fullscreen it wasn't correctly proportioned.

I can't seem to recreate either of these.
What resolutions are you running?

I can't seem to recreate either of these because i'm actually conspiring to lower the quality and don't want anyone to know
What resolutions are you running?
gasp!!!

gasp!!!
nice fake quote edit, gasp.
By the way we'd have no reason to lower quality since our bandwidth is now being sponsored by Neva Digital ;)

I actually also believe some of the newer streams to be more grainy
They are not bad, just not the same!

I'm running 1280x1024.
I run the same and haven't noticed any stretching or bad quality video. It looks the same to me as it has since Breaky started using FME to record.
Only issues i've had recently have been related to meta data and FME. For some reason FME is randomly deciding not to inject meta data into videos and is causing them to not allow you to skip forward into the buffer.

Yeah I get the buffer bug maybe 1/5 times, but I just reload and it works fine. I'm running 1680x1050, but the upscaling was never an issue before. When no one is moving the quality looks about the same, but soon as people start moving around it gets pretty grainy. Idk, if you guys haven't changed anything recently then maybe I just thought it looked different before.

It has always looked like this.. I think its maybe people are "realizing" just now because people brought it up. We have not changed any settings when it come to recording and putting up on the site.
And I even went back earlier today and watch a match I just put up yesterday... and put another match from 3 weeks ago on my other monitor. The quality is literally the exact same for me, there is no difference. So again, I think this is just more so a case of sudden realization rather than any changes.

I have the same problem. When I change to fullscreen, it suddenly changes the aspect ratio to 4:3, but 2 weeks ago or so it stayed widescreen when I went fullscreen. I'm running on 1280*1024.
The aspect ratio changing is new to me as well, on both computers and all displays. Very irritating.

I changed it back to the previous video player for the time being. We are looking at getting a new player developed and integrated with our ad network. Hopefully that will happen pretty quick.

Huge improvement. I can read the text clearly now, which I think was the big reason I thought the resolution had changed.
