A fair comparison has not been run
This page is the method a later test would have to follow. It is not a result. Search volume, a promotional order, and a publisher feature list are not substitutes for that test.
Method
- Publish the method before any numbers: devices, network, source, codec, and how many repeats.
- Use one lawful source the tester is allowed to play. Do not publish the playlist URL or login.
- Hold the device model, OS version, and display settings still across players.
- Hold the network path still, or record when it changes. Home Wi-Fi is not a lab.
- Use the same codec and bitrate. A lighter stream is not a better player.
- Repeat trials. One evening is an anecdote.
- Report failures and unknowns. Do not fill a blank with a winner.

Why buffering has more than one cause
Can I use this page as proof that one player is fastest?
- No. The result table is empty on purpose.
