Playback of Live Recording is Buffering/Not Playing

What to do if your live Portable SmartCam recording is not playing

Updated over 9 months ago

If your live recording is buffering a lot or frozen, you should check the following:

Upload Progress Meter

Open the Spiideo iOS app and go to the 'Recordings' tab to see the upload progress:

  • For live playback, the upload progress should not drop below 95% while recording

  • If the upload progress is continuously dropping, there may be a problem with your connection


Check your Connection

Connection status:

Open the 'Portable SmartCam Setup' menu and check that you are still connected to your network source. If you are not, you should redo the connection process to reconnect.


Run a speed test:

Press 'New +'


Make sure you have selected the Portable SmartCam scene, then press 'Speed Test'


Press 'Start' to begin the speed test. You will get a rating of:

  • Good - Network strength is good for live upload

  • Suboptimal - You may encounter delays in upload and live playback

  • Bad - Will encounter delays in upload and live playback


If your network strength is good but you are still experience delays in live playback and upload, please reach out to support!
