A buffering or "stop-start" stream may be occurring as you do not have enough bandwidth to view the stream. We recommend refreshing the page as your first option.
If this does not solve the issue, you can tap the settings cog on the video to lower the viewing quality which may help get a steady video stream.
If the video will simply not play after trying the aforementioned methods, you may need to check your connection with your internet provider, restart your modem or restart your device.
If your internet provider has confirmed your connection is working but it still will not play, please reach out to us on boxoffice@musicaviva.com.au or call 1800 688 482.
