I am having two odd problems in the theater. I have asked everyone I know about them, and none of them are experiencing this.

First of all, when I am hosting in the theater with some friends and start up a movie clip, it gets stuck in that "preparing" screen for seriously like 3 or 4 minutes before it finally plays. You know, the black screen with the game score. So what's the deal here folks? I have a good connection, open nat, never had any problems with any other part of my online experience.

Also, I got a really odd message when trying to show my brother some clips. He came into my room, and a message popped up saying something along the lines of "You do not have the best connection in the room, the player with the fastest connection must host". What? I mean I understand the statement... ... but what? Why?

Thanks for any help. I have some really awesome clips I would really like to be able to enjoy with them rather then just sending them off in a message.

Good god, am I really the only person out of the 2 million people playing that has this problem? Does this error come with a cash prize?

Maybe your friends have the bad connection?

I considered that, but it has to be me. I have the same problem with everyone, and they don't have any problems viewing movies with each other.

I really want to fix this. And I'd like even more for someone to say they are having a similar problem so I am not oh so alone in the world!

There is no fix and its glitched. The problem is the player with the best connection is usually the original host for the game. For example if I made a game and then gave you the host. After we'd played a game and u wanted to play it back I would have to be host again because I was the original, don't know why. If its a video which only you have then change to the video, then back then back to the video you want again, that fixes it for me occasionally.
Don't know why this happens though.

I am not sure what you mean by "back and back again". Could you be a little more detailed about the steps?
