Thanks Warner306, I did get it to work by unchecking the url box in my filter set and using the default filters I use for all my other files. That being said, the playback was patchy at best. I had much better luck using Emby Theater with madVR.
So I have given up on http. I am now using a remote sshfs mount for my videos instead. In Linux, I modify the video cache and just wait for the cache to fill up before I play (I can monitor this using the overlay). In Windows, the same setting don't seem to have any effect even on DVDPlayer or DSPlayer? Any ideas on how can increase the cache size?
