Full Version: Stuttering ONLY at the start of a stream

Hi,

I have a Raspberry Pi B+ with latest 13.2 build.

I am streaming content from my hosted server (1gbit connection/18ms latency).

On the whole, everything plays fine.

However, in many titles, for the first 20 seconds, it may stutter a couple of times. After 20 seconds, it is completely fine.

Now I set the advancedsettings.xml file to use the following settings:

Quote:<advancedsettings>
<network>
<buffermode>1</buffermode> <cachemembuffersize>0</cachemembuffersize>
<readbufferfactor>4.0</readbufferfactor>
</network>
</advancedsettings>

My understanding of the above, is that it will always stream the webstream, and fill the MicroUSB card with data as it downloads.

So I believe the problem, is that OMXPlayer is playing the content almost immediately, whilst it has not had chance to buffer ahead enough data.

My question is, it would seem that playback does not occur until X amount of data is downloaded.

How can I increase this value?

Thanks.
