@Anth22 hola otra vez

Normalmente en inglés cuando un verbo toma el papel de sustantivo, está bien usar el gerunido en vez del infinitivo. A veces, los dos sirven pero la forma 'to X' en vez de 'Xing' suena un poquito más formal. Que yo sepa, no hay ningún patron, es una cuestión de memorizar la manera en que se usa cada verbo. Tenemos el mismo problema con el 'se' de espanõl, jaja ;)

I like swimming = I like to swim; las dos suenan bien, 9/10 diríamos 'swimming'
Reading is boring = To read is boring; las dos, sí, pero 99.99/100 'reading'
I had problems driving in Spain. En este caso 'I had problems to drive' no funciona.
I don't like swimming. 'I don't like to swim' está bien pero otra vez ... prefiero la primera.

Es muy común en inglés (tanto como en español) usar 'voy a', 'tengo que', 'deseo', 'esperar' etc. con el infinitivo y en este caso siempre usamos la forma "TO x".

I am going to read.
I have to read.
I want to read.
I hope to read.

@GregT I had problems driving in Spain. En este caso 'I had problems to drive' no funciona.

ocea que en este caso, la frase significa, tuve problemas para conducir o tuve problemas conduciendo, es lo mismo que I had problems to drive in Spain y I had problems driving in Spain??

What is the difference between if you have been experiencing problems streaming...... ; if you have been experiencing problems to stream....... and if you have been experiencing problems for streaming........ ?Feel free to just provide example sentences.

Only "if you have been experiencing problems streaming" works.An alternative would be "... problems with streaming"."to stream", "for stream" is not correct.

"If you have been experiencing problems streaming ..." is fine.The other two sentences are not usable. The preposition you need is; 'with'."If you have been experiencing problems with streaming ..."As you can see from you first sentence, the preposition, 'with' is not really necessary in any case.
