Hi,
I noticed that while streaming a High quality movie (21 Mbps/22GB file) - my internet is currently 25/25 Mbps and my Fire TV is WIRED - I noticed that on a wired connection playing a high-quality MKV resulted in buffering every 2.5 minutes or so randomly.
I then tried to increase my cachemem to 103 MB.
I used the cachmem function..along with the <buffermode>1</buffermode>
This made stuttering much more commonplace and horrible (with a lot of buffering) (usually with buffering either on every skip/getting stuck at 10% after 5 minutes then playing for a good 2 minutes then getting stuck on a slow buffer all over again).
Then I pretty much got rid of cachmem...and finally just about gave up...
Then I tried JUST WI-FI only (Full bars) - and this ended up fixing all my buffering issues .....
Confused as hell how wi-fi trumps WIRED...I seriously just do not understand. Can anyone at all (Ned I hope you know), perhaps let me know why on earth this was the case?
I have buffering when skipping (but its pretty fast) and Wi-Fi seems to almost alleviate buffering in intense motion sequences that are prominent during WIRED...very confused. Very...utterly confused...
I know that increasing my cache is the last way to go about it...so can anyone perhaps help...explain this weird nonsense?
