I clicked on an event but it will not play. Why?

See our playback-troubleshooting guide.

Please confirm that you are not on a VPN (Virtual Private Network). Eventive’s content protection protocol does not allow VPN access.

Why does the image quality of the events change sometimes?

The quality of the image depends on a few factors:

Your internet speed.
The player will auto-adjust to your internet speed.
Your internet speed may change periodically based on how many other users are on your home network, the time of day, etc.
The quality of the image depends on the quality of the source we receive.
Please consider that we are using the best available material.

Does my web browser affect streaming?

You will have the best streaming with the browsers listed above. If you are trying to access a film program and receive an error message, clear your browser history, then close and restart your browser.

Why does video playback stall or not play smoothly?

Eventive uses adaptive bitrate streaming which means the streaming quality will automatically adjust based on your internet speed. If your internet connection is poor or inconsistent you may experience problems during playback. If you’re on wifi, try moving closer to your router.

How do I adjust the volume on the web player?

Hover the cursor over the video you are currently watching to make the video controls visible. On the bottom left, the sound icon controls the volume.
To control how high or low the volume is, hover the cursor over the volume bar and click the left side to lower the volume or the right side to raise the volume.
