Hi all,
Over a Wi-Fi connection, I've tried DLNA (Universal Media Server), SMB, and NFS (haneWin), and all of them were almost fast enough to play videos smoothly. So I was looking into options where I could force XBMC to pre-cache the video before playing it, and Googling led me to believe that XBMC can pre-cache HTTP.
On my XBMC (Frodo) computer, I can browse my HTTP server's folders and files using a web browser, but not in XBMC, and after adding the HTTP subfolders to XBMC manually, they are empty. I'm not getting any errors when I add the HTTP sources, and using the option to update the library doesn't appear to be doing anything. Is there something I've missed?
Thanks!
