Why are streaming apps always so insanely glitchy?

It’s not the app it’s everyone smashing their screens while watching the CAN/USA women’s hockey game! 😩

I consider it a pretty good service overall and not sure how licensing works, but a cute way to „export“ Canadian content to other countries.
Kim’s Convenience is a banger too.

Just a heads up for people using it. Don’t put it into full screen if you are streaming it from a laptop. Every time it wants to show an ad, the stream will freeze and you will have to refresh.
We’ve been showing it at work on a projector some days and learned to just maximize the browser window instead if fullscreening.

Gem has some solid content!! North of north was great, looking forward to season 2. I like movies is an interesting movie about a young film student working at blockbuster.
Pretty good sports coverage too, especially provincial events.

I have problem with adds. Say I get ‚1 of 6‘. After 2 or 3, it will play almost the full commercial (let’s say commercial number 3), then it will go back and restart ad #2, and just keep looping. I have to close and reload the app just to keep watching, and then I have to watch another full 6 (or whatever) adds to keep watching

I’ve just been watching on antenna, over the air. I took about 3 feet of coaxial cable, took off the last 12 inches of insulation, so it’s just a bare wire on the end, and made sure the bare end was sticking up above my TV. Works great. I get CBC, CTV, CTV2, and Global.

GEM is a joke and a waste of tax payer dollars. This is one of the examples of how our hard earned tax dollars are treated with utter contempt.
Actually when you think of it, the cbc is a total farce. Visit any one of their offices, I have on past business, and you will find extravagance that would not be found in many private sector companies. A lot of desks with no one behind them and people milling about with seemingly nothing to do.
Our tax dollars hard at work! /s

I’ve gotten the same „join the skilled trades“ Ontario commercial 4 times in 2 minutes. Thought I was having a stroke. It would play for 10s and then go to commercial, it did that 4 times in a row.
Pretty convenient bug if it is a bug and if not what a crap practice.

I’ve been using it for years and honestly, I’ve never had an issue. Shockingly.

Hey Beaverton, I’ve been streaming at work all week on my second monitor and haven’t had any issues at all. And my productivity is proof of that. CBC has awesome coverage.

The CBC commentating is brutal. It sounds like a poor version of an American broadcaster trying to commentate on American athletes.

One of my favorite Beaverton headlines was when Netflix started password sharing crackdowns. The headline was that CBC Gem to start crackdown on password sharing as soon as anyone signs up for their paid service.

There are ads on CBC Gem?
I just get a red screen saying commercial break on all the live feeds.

I tried watching the opening ceremony and they kept injecting ads directly into the ceremony. Dual Screen where the ad sound took precedent… I don’t recall it being like this before?

>In a related story, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre doubled down on his promise to defund the CBC after he couldn’t log into Gem with his Facebook account.
