iOS iPhone 6 cannot play large files through WEBDAV
#1
Hi All,

From a dutch company I recieved 1 TB of free space which I can access through WEBDAV. Since I wan't to be able to watch my media "on the road" and do NOT want to use VPN I decided to migrate all my media to this storage and connect the WEBDAV in Kodi for iOS. This all went great and I've watched some media on it already.

I've tried to put my DVD collection on it but this doesn't work... Also downloading the file from internet (maybe I'm ripping wrong) doesn't work. I've narrowed it down to "larger files" which doesn't play on the iPhone. (strangely this does work on KODI on my Windows PC) Also the format .avi / ,mp4 doesn't matter. When accessing this files from SMB it does work. This is a bit of background info so now for the "usefull part"

PROBLEM: .AVI / .MP4 larger than 90 Mb are not playing from WEBDAV source, same file does play from SMB and FTP and trough WEBDAV on Kodi-Windows. Sometimes I get "Working..." which then goes away and then nothing and sometimes i get "Playback Failed: Öne or more items failed to play. Check the log for more information about this message"

Things I tried:
- Reinstalling Kodi on iPhone
- Remove everything for more free Space (Photo's, music, Apps etc.)
- 3/G, 4/G connection instead of WiFi
- Different Wifi Router (Was Cisco Meraki, tried Linksys WRT54G)
- Different ISP (took my phone to my moms place)
- Stream from the WebDav through PS3 Media Server without buffering, which works so no bandwith issues.
- Modify the video Cache as described on http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_the_video_cache and tried:
Code:
<advancedsettings>
  <network>
    <buffermode>1</buffermode>
    <cachemembuffersize>0</cachemembuffersize>
    <readbufferfactor>30</readbufferfactor>
  </network>
</advancedsettings>
And
Code:
<advancedsettings>
  <network>
    <buffermode>1</buffermode>
    <cachemembuffersize>52428800</cachemembuffersize>
  </network>
</advancedsettings>
And
Code:
<advancedsettings>
  <network>
    <buffermode>1</buffermode>
    <cachemembuffersize>157286400</cachemembuffersize>
    <readbufferfactor>20</readbufferfactor>
  </network>
</advancedsettings>

Please guide me in the correct way to resolve this so I can free my NAS form some media ;-)

**edit**
Added some more info

**edit2**
Just installed PS3 Media Server on my laptop, disabled buffering and added the WEBDAV as source. Then added the PS3 Media Server as UPNP source in kodi and now I can even play 1+ GB files from the Webdav. However this means my laptop needs to be on and it only works inside the house. I just did this to verify if it was a bandwith issue which I can rule out.
