Kudos to the sister groups, namely NMB48, for getting organized. AKB48 business model is about flooding the market with idols and let the fans choose. Why change now? They can 3 showroom events a year. It's like having 3 elections without the overhead and drama of a bloated 3 hour event. I enjoy the FaceTime with idols. How would kami-7 have handled Showroom? Something tells me chiyuu (kasai tomomi) would have been a star. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk
huh. well on my pc watching any* stream in a browser (tested firefox, chrome, opera, edge (forgot edge exists but also broken)) it hangs every few seconds while giving me a few new frames if i'm lucky to get it to do that. sometimes it just stops playing. i tested it on my phone as well, but i had the same problem in the browsers there. only the app works without issue. *last night i happened to catch a "radio" stream that didn't appear to have a problem playing. i'd blame my gfx card if my phone didn't also have this issue.
when buffering happens, I hop onto Youtube. There's usually plenty of live YT streams of SR esp if a popular group or member
i have my own workarounds, but the browser streams are convenient and what i prefer to use. i just can't find an explanation for why it's not working as it did a few weeks ago and apparently it's only me at this point.
it has been unwatchable on chrome since a couple of weeks for me, too. the mobile app works fine using the same wifi.
I have the same issues too using Chrome both on my Windows laptop and my iPhone. I've tried using connecting by VPN to Japan and it makes no difference. (I can't use the app as I don't have a JP Apple Store account.)
You should all make bug report on https://www.showroom-live.com/inquiry/ First category: "Video playback" Second category: "Bug" Maybe with enough bug reports their fix it back to working.
With the postponement and/or cancellations of stages and performances across 48G, HKT48's own Theater Goddess, Ueno Haruka has been arranging streams on her SR of lesson room performances of the stage originally scheduled for the theater that day. So last night was Team KIV's Seifuku no Me, and the day before was Team H's RESET. With >16,000 views the first dayand >20,000 views the second day, it been quite the successful idea by Harutan-sensei. And that is just the view counts from Harutan's SR. Additional camera angles have been provided by other members on their respective SR. This afternoon, 12:30 Japan time, will be Himawarigumi's Tadaima Renaichuu. I would highly recommend watching if you have the chance. (I will miss this one because long night of work at the office.) More info (schedule and lineups, link to her SR) can be found here when posted, https://twitter.com/harutan_pink

So this part is indeed NMB48 only. The STU48 leg starts 03/20 and lasts till 03/26 https://www.showroom-live.com/event/bis_regularmodel_stu48
seems they've been adding and moving rooms over to a new set of sub-domains lately. most rooms i've tried are working again! *update: so the sub-domain attached to a stream appears to be assigned randomly and for whatever reason the old ones don't work, yet they are still in use. if you have ublock origin you can see right away which sub-domain has been assigned. rooms in the 200 range are working.
the STU event seems to promise more fight than the NMB fraud - 12 girls in https://www.showroom-live.com/event/bis_regularmodel_stu48
