VLC 2.2.0 Viewing MKV from NAS can take minutes to start

Postby davidnbarker » 27 Mar 2015 12:25

Hello

After Upgrading to VLC 2.2.0 opening a MKV file can take minutes to load the file. But when I go back to 2.1.5 its opening instantly.
The NAS share is mounted as a drive on my PC.
It’s like in the latest version it tries to open the whole file before starting to play it. Anyone else have this issue or is there a setting somewhere to enable the file to be viewed before it’s all downloaded.

The System is a 64Bit Windows 7 connecting to a Netagear Ready NAS NV+ over Gigabit nic.

Thank you
David

+1. I'm having the exact same problem since moving to 2.2.0. Tried a clean install of Windows 8.1 x64 and issue persists.
Connection is to an SMB share on Windows 2012R2.
As OP pointed out, 2.1.5 works fine.

To the VLC team, thank you for creating such a brilliant and much loved app!
