How does it perform streaming videos? Thank you

It all depends on the network...on my 3mbps home wifi, netflix works fine, very minimal loading time, no pauses for buffering and good quality...but if I'm on a public network or trying to piggyback on my next door neighbors' wifi (they gave me the password! sometimes at&t; goes down and they have comcast.) then it can be a struggle to get videos to load at all, much less play smoothly. But I don't think the device itself has any particular limitations as to what videos it can stream.

I've streamed Netflix and YouTube plenty of times with no problems. I've also sent the stream to an external monitor with no problems.

Yes, it has live streaming (slight delay depending on your network speed, I have about 2 seconds). However, it cannot be "hooked up" directly to the computer. This is a network camera, so streaming happens via your Ethernet (wired network cable) or wifi (your wireless). You view the streaming video in browser, and also can view in mobile app. I also have another software that this streaming and keeps videos for 30 days.

This card does not do the streaming. This card simply takes an input from hdmi or sdi device and feeds it to your computer which is then used by software for whatever purpose you've set up. To do streaming, try searching online 'blackmagic mini recorder streaming' or 'blackmagic mini recorder fmle' ... this card is also compatible with vMix switching which has streaming and recording capabilities as well as many other software programs.

I've never done that... you might experience some lag in your streaming but it might not be noticeable. I'd give it a try!

I have found that making sure there is adequate wifi signal is important to using this device to stream video. For my home, I found it necessary to add a "range extender" to my wifi system . I have ocasionally experienced dropped signal since installing the extender but it is rare. Buffering has improved considerably. I have found that the recent update for the youtube app corrected a few issues including the full screen problem. I hope this helps Harold

If there were any updates done on it it was transparent. Mainly use mine to stream from my pc to tv. It has continued to do what I need it to do. Haven't done any research to see what the newer system can do that mine can't.

Video streaming seems to be great, even with HD. That's primarily what we use it form, and no complaints at all for that.

Hi, I have used this device to stream MP4 and M4V to my iPad, iPhone etc. in the interface on your computer you are able to play files from this device by streaming or just plugging it in by USB. I did have DRM issues when trying to play a video purchased outside of iTunes in another player other than iTunes, however. Those I could only get to play by transferring through the iTunes interface.

I've never had any trouble with streaming. I love the 8in screen size, too.

The Gigabyte mini is only used for word processing and email. Could not tell you about streaming.

I'm pretty sure the device supports mp4 videos and also, the video quality either stays the same or gets better. I was very impressed by the videoplay!

As a blue ray player this works just fine, But for any streaming (youtube netflix ext) I would get another device for that. I experience constant freezing/pausing and its really slow to bootup. I just got a amazon firestick for 40 bucks and I am much more happy with that.

I do not have connected to any video streaming just audio. I would say yes if you have a pure gigabit router and Internet pipe. The switch lights show yellow if you do not have the gig pipe and green if you do. HTH

Just got this in the mail recently and I have to say that it is excellent in terms of its ability to play internet video (though for some reason it takes the LQ stream on youtube on occasion), and does well with paid streaming services - it does not have support for videos on NAS or USB

I haven't tried it for any type of gaming, just streaming HD video and it does great. Sorry I couldn't help.

It does not currently have an Amazon Streaming Video application. If that is important to you then perhaps take a look at the Roku 3, or any other Roku model.

I have had this device for over a year now. Pretty much any website will load on the built in chrome web browser. Certain websites like ABC and Hulu block video streaming to this device due to some sort of licensing conflict. The web browsing tends to be a little bit slower and clunky compared to a laptop or desktop computer, but the device is very convenient. As long as you have a fast internet connection (anything better than DSL) streaming video will work great. If the device ever freezes or crashes you can press "control" + "alt" + "delete" to restart it.
