Buffering Issues:Fastpasstv/Icefilms/Other ad-ons
#1
Hello all

Just wanted to say that I am totally amazed with xbmc and everything that comes with it..I have only been playing with it in my free time...

Also wanted to say that I have learned a lot from this forum just by reading all of the threads! I am fully amazed at how well everyone works together here..

I am still very much a n00bie @ this but am slowly learning.. Here are my specs


New macbook 10.6.5
Airport extreme with latest software 5 ghz band.
Newwork connection is decent 1 Mb down 500 or so up
Jailbroke [AppleTV2] with Greenposion latest version
I have ssh'd into my device put in a few ad-ons such as bluecop and some google tv

I am able to NAS..

What I am having issues with is that on some of the ad-ons there is an extreme amount of buffering...Fastpasstv/Icefilms mainly..On xbmc

Is there some settings i can adjust or some suggest path i can take for the buffering to slow down?

TIA!


Ed

What is your bandwidth? You might consider a site such as speedster.net to find out. Note that, for 720P streaming, a sustained 6 Mbps connection is about the min requirement.

What else could I be doing wrong?

Bit torrent is dependent on the health of the particular swarm, and many other unique factors. Not really a reliable indicator of your typical download speed. With your network now wired, what are your symptoms when streaming HD?
Are you buffering 720P, or stuttering/dropping frames?
