VLC and streaming
Posted: 23 Feb 2006 17:04
Here's the deal. Up until now, I've just been using VLC for playing video files but ever since I signed up for mp3tunes I've been using it to get my streams off the net. For those of you who don't know mp3tunes is a service where you can back up your tunes for $40 a year and also stream them off the net. I don't use iTunes with mp3tunes because of some incompatability issues their software has with metadata.
Anyways, my problem is that my streams keep cutting out on me whereas in iTunes this has never happened even streaming at 192khz. I looked to try and increase the buffer size but the help files are not very definitive. I see the way to do it in Windows but they don't really explain the method of increasing the buffer in OS X. Please could someone give me detailed instructions for how to do this. It would be much appreciated. I use Tiger.
