For a trailer on youtube, buffering works because some people will wait a minute for a two-minute trailer to start. PseudoTV runs playlists that are, in essence, infinitely long. Who is willing to wait half of infinity to make sure it doesn't run out of buffer?
OK, increasing the buffer is a bad idea. Sorry. Do ALL the channels on PseduoTV play at the same time (all the episodes are streaming at the same time?) therefore using all the bandwidth? or does it start streaming a file once the channel changes?
I have a gigabyte network - with a gigabyte switch and Cat 5e cabling which is more than enough for media sharing.
