I've used it both on the PC & Pi and experience significant buffering. I'm on a 20Mb line, which I've seen download upto 2.5MBps, so that should be fast enough to stream even the 1080p streams, right?
Yep I found PIA way too slow at times so I went with Smart DNS Proxy. I'm getting my full broadband speeds of around 80Mbps with them (Ireland -> USA). Smart DNS are quite cheap also - I signed up for 2 years costing me $35 (I joined for the free trial and they sent me a 70% off offer by email).
It was the other way round for me. Smart DNS buffered too much, PIA works perfect on my PI2. Does anyone know what user agent the pi uses on openelec?
I use Openelec on my android mx2 box and I use metalkettle's PIA plugin and it works so smooth.
