Hi Guys
I've been searching for a long time to try and find an answer for this. I've recently had 36Mbps fibre broadband installed at home. I can stream a 1080P video through a weskit or HD YouTube videos with no issue without having to wait for them to buffer first. When it comes to XBMC though I am having problems playing content back.
Using the Icefilms add-on and trying any HD source it will play for about a minute tops before it stops to buffer and skips. Playing an SD source is fine but I'd much rather watch HD. I don't understand why it fails to play 720P content properly on XBMC but plays things fine from other places.
Is there a way I can assign more bandwidth to XBMC? I can upload any logs you want but I also want to point out that I've tried it on 2 macs and a Raspberry Pi, 2 of them wired and one mac wireless.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated!
Tom
