Hey guys, Alex here with a quick update about videos hosted here on Patreon.

Obviously, the performance of the video player here on the site hasn’t been up to yours or our standards, and over the past few weeks, we’ve been talking to Patreon about what we can do to make things run smoother. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like they have any current plans to better accommodate content like ours on their platform, so we’re going to be slowly shifting to an external video player with Patreon compatibility instead.

Now this won’t happen overnight, and it’s going to take some time to migrate every last bit of content we’ve released on here for years and years, so in the meantime, Patreon has given us some clarity on how to better encode the content we will continue to upload here for the moment while we settle on a good more powerful option for all in the future, soon to be in flawless full res HD.

GOOD PICTURE QUALITY FOR ALL, Alex, Brett, and Ted

I didn't have any problems with video quality tbh

Nat

No worries guys, thanks for the update!

I didn't even notice anything was wrong with the video quality. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Kyle Shurtliff

Great to hear you guys are doing that. Shame Patreon doesn’t want to fix their vod system, it’s at least half of the function of the service itself besides supporting the beards

Nick Verhulst

Much love, hope everything stays as smooth as possible

Blazen16

Well I'm still here to watch everything you guys post. The videos have been fire and I definitely have got my money's worth. I'm rooting for you guys and I love the content.

Michael

Thanks man! It is rough some times. Y'all are great.

Korbo

Nice! The video quality was always the one thing that made me a bit sad about patreon, some games can get really grainy and pixelated on action segments.

Sullstice

Now you're playing with power!

Joseph Zappia

That is awesome that you guys are doing that. I've never had an issue with it but it is great that you are accommodating those who are. Thank you for the update!

Tiger Bauer

Here’s hoping the new hosting platform will have playlists!

Edward Eagerton

The video bitrate is generally a little on the low side, especially when a ton of stuff starts happening on screen but to be totally honest it doesn't bother me at all. Up til now I had actually figured it was a result of the computer being used to capture being taxed but shrugged that off as just part of the transition to filming in Alex's house. Ultimately, I'll be here to support you guys no matter what technical situations arise.

Flawless Full Res HD BEARD BROS! (Amazing)

SBHoagie

I usually am watching on my phone but Im glad you guys are doing this I wanna see those crisp pixels XD

You can schedule uploads on YouTube but share the link here so people exclusively can watch it still here first, and then it will upload there on time, adding both the Quality of the video like normal and adding to the overall view count too.

Look at the Bros looking out for the bros, much appreciated, Bro.

Ishashiwa

If you can make sure the next platform has casting/airplay functionality as well that would be appreciated! I remember playing Vimeo on a remote display was a real pain.

Gabriel

Wow that's good to hear, I've had the site crash after a few videos from a memory leak a few times, figured it was just a chrome thing.

Good change, the patreon player runs like ass honestly on my high end PC.

Johannes Loh

I second that. The Patreon player adding Chromecast Support was a game changer for me!

I was never even here for video fidelity, as long as it was more than 360p then I was fine. I'm here for the conversation and interactions between the Bros and their gremlin born in Zion, Ted.

Ben Zimmer

This is awesome and very appreciated bros! Is there possibly a way you guys could organize or compile all the videos in order by series? Totally understand if patreon isn't cooperative with those things yknow. Thanks for still chugging along with the funny improv and bits that have kept us around for ten years

Korbo

They would have no way of restricting anyone with the link from watching, anyone could just leak the link at any time. At least I'm assuming that's why they don't do it.

Checkpoints Samantha

Ohh yeah maybe? I genuinely can't remember if it can only be done by the original domain link holder and not just the average link. But makes sense if true

Hesidne Ekgeif

Not so sure about that, when I put the patreon player on fullscreen on my 4k monitor it looks like an abstract art piece and I can't even tell what's happening since it's so blurry.

Snonk

Thanks for the effort guys, its really only elden ring unfortunately but its a bitch with fidelity

ealdm0nk

That's my point though. For me, I'm here for the great conversation. If you're here for the gameplay then it's a good thing they're upgrading, I'm usually just doing something mindless like playing Pokémon, Minecraft, or Ultrakill with this in the background

Deathmagiks

FoR tHe AlGoRiThM. Well... not so much anymore I suppose. Your continued efforts are appreciated. Please rest assured that we're here to support you guys, and I'm sure a touch of patience is not an unreasonable ask.

Laura Verdoes

Thank you for this! I've been asking for this and just watching on YouTube instead.

Matthew Odom

Has this change been made? I'm still struggling to get videos to play often.

Max Streuber

Ya'll are doing great and I'll follow to whatever platform you set up on!
