playing files over home network

Postby wayne_h » 04 Sep 2012 19:41

version 2.0.0

when I play large video files (eg .avi) on a shared drive on another computer on my windows network, it breaks up occasionally in playback. There appears to be no problem when I play the same file in windows media player. Is there some setting in VLC to fix this?
Thanks
Wayne
