Nothing but problems using it with an iPad Pro (M4). I’ve done 3 video rides, all of them went to an orange road with a black screen after about 1km. One time it said “transitioning” then went to an all blue screen, no avatar, no road, just blue with the HUD overlay. I saw it was still registering watts so I kept peddling, after a couple minutes went back to the orange road.
It not bandwidth as my family streams multiple 4K videos simultaneously with no issues.
Other issues;
Avatar is so far on the side it goes off the screen on turns.
Mini display elevation does not match route.
Overall it seems very beta and not ready for release.
I doubt this is a problem with running it on your iPad. What do you see from speedtest.net when your iPad is in your training location? It may also matter if there’s a bunch of other streaming going on at the same time, so you may need to do more to test it in a realistic way.
Also once you get game version 1.25 you will be able to download the routes in advance if you have the space for that.
@Billy_Shears_51yo_No thank you for sharing that Speedtest result, and sorry to hear you are experiencing buffering while riding Zwift Video routes. In comparison to your Speedtest result, when looking at your most recent Zwift Video rides we are seeing significantly slower download speeds occurring while you are streaming Video routes, e.g. ranging from 3.7 to 10.7 Mbps in your Eggum Coastal ride when 720p requires at least 25 Mbps to avoid buffering while streaming. When looking at your download speed over the course of that activity we can see it started highest at ~10.7 Mbps then as soon as you experienced buffering during that activity the download speed dropped to ~3.7 Mbps and never increased again over the remainder of that activity:
This looks like something may be throttling your download speed and/or something or someone else could be using your available bandwidth if they are streaming/gaming/downloading sustained amounts of data while you were Zwifting. To help rule some things out could you please help answer and test the below?
Was the Speedtest screenshot you provided tested right where your Zwift setup is?
Before your next Video ride please disable (if enabled) Connectivity Assist in your iPhone’s Settings > Wi-Fi menu
Also disable (if enabled) Cellular Data in your iPhone’s Settings > Cellular menu
Also disable iCloud Private Relay (if you have iCloud+) in your iPhone’s Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Private Relay menu
Also disable (if enabled) any VPNs or proxies you may have running on your iPhone or network
Do you use AirPlay or any other service to cast/stream your iPhone to a TV or monitor while Zwifting? If so, can you please try just running Zwift on your iPhone without casting/streaming?
