Support

The system employed by VPN’s is designed to protect your security at your end. However it becomes a third party in between our streaming servers and your device which is being used to watch the video.

If the VPN goes slow, or does not provide a constant stream this will cause playback issues. Therefore if you use a VPN and encounter playback issues we do not support that. 

There are hundreds of them and we do not support playback for unknown extensions.

Extensions can include Ad Blockers - we DO run pre-roll adverts and use adverts on the platform and the video’s - so if you have extensions designed to block those it is going to affect the playback of the video. We cannot support that as an issue

We are not Google or YouTube - we do not have the resources to react to every browser extension, update and change made by many hundreds of manufacturers around the world. We do research the more popular updates and realise fixes in batches over monthly periods - be aware if you have a bespoke setup we may not be able to fix it.

The quality of your playback experience is largely dependent on the download speed you have from ISP (Internet Service Provider) or mobile provider. Keep in mind that your overall Internet speed can vary depending on many factors, including but not limited to: time of day, Wi-Fi performance, other devices/users utilizing your connection, and the strength of the signal provided by your ISP.

The following table shows the minimum speeds required for each playback quality:

In addition, we recommend using the following browsers and versions on Windows 7 or later or macOS Sierra (10.12.6) or later:

• Chrome 30+ (has automatic updates)
• Firefox 27+ (has automatic updates)*
• Microsoft Edge
• Safari 9+ 

*H.264 video (required for viewing airgun101.com videos) is only supported in Firefox for Windows 7 and later. Firefox versions on Windows XP are no longer supported for playback. 

Mobile viewers can use Android (Lollipop) version 5.0+ or iOS version 9.3.5+.

⚠️ Blackberry and Windows phone users: You may still able to view airgun101 videos on devices that support HTML5; however, we do not test out our player in these environments and thus cannot guarantee support.

⚠️Samsung users: The Samsung Internet browser (all versions) is not supported for future Live presentations. We recommend installing Chrome instead. 

While airgun101 video’s may work on older setups, we strongly recommend keeping your system as up to date as possible. Browsers and operating systems are constantly releasing bug fixes, security updates, and improvements, and we do our best to keep up with them as well. 

Below you’ll find our minimum requirements for airgun101 playback.

We support playback in browsers that can decode H.264 videos in an HTML5 player. Due to rising security vulnerabilities, airgun101 does not support Flash. If you’re using an older browser, system, or website, you’ll need to upgrade to continue watching airgun101 videos.

Here is a list of our supported browsers/versions:

• Chrome 30+ (has automatic updates)
• Firefox 27+ (has automatic updates)*
• Internet Explorer 11*
• Microsoft Edge
• Safari 9+ 

*H.264 video (required for viewing airgun101 videos) is only supported in Firefox for Windows 7 and later. Firefox versions on Windows XP are no longer supported for playback. 

*Older versions of Internet Explorer (IE 10, 9, 8, etc) that lack support for the TLS 1.2 protocol and HTML5 cannot be used to play airgun101 videos. As of January 12, 2016, Microsoft has stopped releasing updates to older versions of IE. (Microsoft's official statement on IE support can be found here)

The airgun101 player operates in a wide range of operating systems, but we can only guarantee full functionality on systems that are still being supported by their proprietors.

Microsoft has ended support for Windows XP and Windows Vista. 

The earliest version of MacOS still receiving extended support from Apple is Sierra (v. 10.12.6), and support for it is rumored to end in September 2019. Earlier versions of MacOS (El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, etc) are not supported. 

While we still love to hear about Vimeo bugs affecting older systems, we cannot always guarantee they’ll be prioritized or solved.

Mobile/Tablets

• Android (Lollipop) version 5.0+
• iOS version 9.3.5+

⚠️ Blackberry and Windows phone users: You may still able to view airgun101 videos on devices that support HTML5; however, we do not test out our player in these environments and thus cannot guarantee support.

Live events

Similar to uploaded videos, playback for live events is supported on any setup that supports H.264 videos, HTML5, and Media Source (specifically required for our adaptive streaming system). Please see our supported systems for playback above, with the following exceptions:

• Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7 and earlier is not supported for airgun101 Live
• The Samsung Internet browser (all versions) is also not supported for airgun101 Live. We recommend installing Chrome instead. 

5K, 6K, 7K, or 8K playback - we do not supply these streams at this time.

We require minimum stable download speeds of 500 kbps or faster in order to view our lowest quality, SD 240p. Since bandwidth tends to fluctuate for a number of unforeseen variables, we always recommend you use a dedicated Internet line of 5 Mbps or faster NOT a VPN to stream and download high quality videos on the Internet. For optimal performance, a hardwired connection via Ethernet is best, but if you prefer to use WiFi, be sure that your router is configured correctly and that your network is not being shared with other devices (this can limit the starting speeds you pay your ISP for).

Not sure what speeds your device is receiving? Visit https://testmy.net/download (on mobile or desktop) for an estimate. We recommend performing this test a few times since bandwidth can change. 

Frequent buffering can occur when the viewer’s Internet bandwidth does not support playback of the selected video quality. Try switching to “Auto” in the quality menu (the default), if available. If “Auto” is not available, switch to one of the lower quality options.

If your video still fails to start, check your estimated bandwidth https://testmy.net/download
