# FAQ

### Video playback has irregularly short black interruptions during live streams or VODs, the sound is normal

The reason is probably the use of InputStream Adaptive. Depending on the avaiable bandwidth, the resolution of the stream is automatically increased and decreased when using the ‘Adaptive (default)’ setting.
The same happens in the official Discovery+ app, but without a black image.

Solution: Change the setting in the InputStream Adaptive add-on, e.g. to ‘Fixed resolution’ and set ‘Max resolution’ as well as ‘Max resoltion for DRM videos’ to a value that is possible with the available bandwidth.
Hint: 1080p can use up to 10 Mbit/s.
