Strings 2016 Videos: Unwatchable & Unresponsive

In summary, one person is experiencing issues with the videos at Strings 2016, noting that they are constantly buffering and unwatchable. They have reached out to the organizers but have not received a response. They also mention not being able to download the videos and not having information about the streaming quality. When asked for a link to the videos, they provide a link to the first day's worth, but note that the issue is still present.

Is it just me or are the videos at Strings 2016 unwatchable? They start and stop and continually seem to buffer, as if the bandwidth is not sufficient. The organizers did not respond to my email. I don't see a way to download and view offline, and I can't tell anything about the streams, e.g. what is the encoding or bit rate.

Ok, it may be slightly better now, but it still doesn't work. The videos just constantly buffer and are not watchable.
