Strange streaming scenario...
At my studio, I have two Dell PC's - one older with Windows 7 home premium and one that's about 5 year old with 8.1.
I use Google Chrome on both, and have no problems with any other video (Youtube etc) but when I try to watch The Golf Channel, or the NBC Sports Gold's golf streaming service that I pay for, it works fine until I go full screen....then it freezes up after a minute or two. When I go back to the small screen, it takes a few seconds, then starts back up. I regularly use Ccleaner and empty cache/cookies etc. Anyone have any ideas on what the heck is going on?

I wonder if is perhaps lack of RAM, processing power, or even video card/chip? The computer is trying to resize the image but runs out of RAM or processing power.
I would first try watching it on a different browser to see if it's better. If not, I would turn off everything else you have running in the background (if anything) to see if it improves. |

Both scenarios there was nothing else running or open. But what's strange is I can play two YT videos in open tabs at the same time and it works fine. I also just had two tabs of NBC streaming going (the second full screen) and it worked fine.

Here's the NBC FAQs on live streaming. Perhaps you just need to update your version of Adobe Flash.

But I agree with Dru, it likely has more to do with available RAM (either system or on the video card). Remember, too, that video size and processing power follows the square law: doubling the physical dimensions means the original area is squared (i.e. 4x the pixels means more processing power is needed to double the size of the video).

I also just had NBC, ABC, The Golf Channel and NBC Sports all streaming at the same time on separate tabs (small screen) with no issues.

Just got home and tried it on my laptop - same thing. Go to full screen and it freezes after a couple minutes.
