Flagship · Live speed
Catch up to live and jump back to the exact moment
Speed live playback up to 4× to burn buffer and land on the live edge. An automatic controller keeps latency low, with no dropouts and no chipmunk voices.
How catching up to live works
Every IPTV live stream arrives with a delay. To keep the picture from stuttering, the player stores a few seconds ahead in a buffer — and that cushion is exactly the latency that separates you from the real moment.
The idea is simple: play back slightly faster than the signal arrives and you gradually eat through that cushion until you reach the live edge. Raudo takes the trick as far as it goes, with playback speed up to 4× on live.
The automatic controller does the fine-tuning for you: it speeds up just enough to close the gap, then settles to hold latency near a target. It modulates speed smoothly and corrects pitch, so you won't hear sped-up voices or audio artifacts.
- Return to live in seconds after a pause or an ad break.
- Recover sync when your playlist drifts behind.
- Get to the goal or the big play on time — no channel reload.
How to catch up to live
Pause whenever
Pause the live stream to step away for a moment. Raudo keeps buffering the broadcast while you're gone.
Speed it up
When you're back, drag the speed control up to 4× to eat the delay and return to the live edge.
Or use auto mode
Turn on automatic catch-up and the controller speeds up and settles on its own to hit the target latency.
Jump to live instantly
In a hurry? Hit “Go to live” and Raudo drops you straight on the broadcast edge.
Full control over live
Four ways to take charge of latency.
Manual speed control
A slider to push playback up to 4× on live whenever you want to burn buffer at your own pace.
Automatic catch-up
The controller holds latency near a target, speeding up and easing off smoothly — hands off.
Go to live
One button to jump to the broadcast edge instantly, without reloading the channel.
Event mode
For the big match: reserve maximum buffer and play it safe when stability matters most.
What if I want to go back?
Speed carries you forward, toward live. But sometimes you want the opposite: to rewind what already aired.
With Raudo's catch-up and timeshift you pause the live stream, go back to rewatch that play or that headline, then use speed to reconnect to live whenever you like. The two controls work together: one to go back, one to return forward.
Catch-up depends on your playlist provider offering it; Raudo brings the controls, you bring the list.
Speed & catch-up questions
What does “catching up to live” mean?
You play the signal slightly faster than it arrives to consume the buffered delay and land on the live edge, instead of running several seconds behind.
Does the audio sound weird when you speed up?
No. The controller modulates speed smoothly and corrects pitch, so you won't hear sped-up voices or gaps in the sound.
How fast can I go?
Up to 4× on live. Do it by hand with the slider, or let auto mode choose for you.
How is this different from catch-up?
Speed takes you forward to live; catch-up (timeshift) takes you back to review what already aired. You can combine both.
Do I need a special playlist?
No. It works with your usual M3U/M3U8 or Xtream Codes. Raudo is the player; you bring your own list, no channels included.
What about a big match?
Turn on event mode: it reserves maximum buffer for stability, and you use speed to get back to live during the breaks.
