Need help testing a streaming vid

[morgandawn]

The Hannibal vid is by Lum. You can visit the streaming link here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/19123765

We need to know how well does it load and stream, what happens when multiple people are streaming it at once and what happens when it gets many plays (bandwidth limits)

I think I was one of the first viewings -- it loaded up great, played through great. (I'm using a PC and my browser is Google Chrome.) For me there's a brief blip in the image/audio (as in a brief moment of no image, no audio) if you click from small to full-screen while the vid is playing, and vice versa, but the blips are so brief they didn't bother me.

(I have to go to work now or I would volunteer to help test with multiple people viewing at once -- this is definitely a vid I can watch over and over!)

It seemed to stream/play just fine, no glitches or issues.

It's also freaking amazing. :D

I am much, much later than the announcement, and I get nothing. It's just black for me, doesn't play, but it looks like it should be playing.

It starts off black, then flashes (for me) and starts. did you click on the link below?

Yup! I did the same thing a moment ago, and it played fine. Not sure why it wouldn't work for me for a bit.

I commented on AO3, should have done so here:

I tried just now to stream this in Chrome, but when it got to black screen with play button the button was dead; same in Safari (and same in both via the link to VidderTube). It played just fine in Firefox, though, and is gorgeous.

I'm on a Mac and have no idea why the browsers are acting so differently.
