HI there,
two questions:
1. I tried to stream a movie (The Wolf of Wall Street, 23GB version) from my PC using Wifi connection. The streaming is not perfect. I have a lot of buffering problems (depending on the bitrate, I guess).
Am I doing something wrong or it is normal for a system like Amazon Fire Tv?
2. I tried to make a second attempt using LAN cable, but connecting the cable to Amazon Fire TV it doens't recognize it automatically. I have to manually put all the info. I tried to give it IP, Gateway, DNS,... but no luck. Any hint?
Thanks for help.
1. Finally I found someone that has the same problem as I got I got a lot of buffering problems. It seems that the router understands the XBMC as a separate device and Fire TV as a separate device (hope i put this correctly). Whenever I use WatchESPN live, I have to turn off the XBMC app in order to watch ESPN smoothly, otherwise it's just blurry even though my download speed is 30Mps.
Even streaming local contents can get a lot of bufferings. I modifed the file advancedsettings.xml and push it in the Fire TV to let it cache the video for a little so the problem is kinda solved. Hopefully there's will be a better way of doing this.
