I'm watching TV streams but I need a good buffering setting for watching high bitrate TV streams. Because after a couple of minutes the streams begins to buffer. So what's a good buffer setting, and where can I change it? Thanks.

No one?

Nobody can help me out on this? Don't know which buffer setting I must have for this issue. There are lot of options in the settings for this.

It's hard to give a formal answer since you give no info about the protocol being used, the codecs, the encapsulation, the global bitrate, the quality of the network and so on.
The best thing to do is trial and error until it works fine for your specific case.

Ok, there whe go. I can choose between RTMP, M3u8 or RTSP streams, but chance between this 3 types makes no sense for less or more buffering issues. I see the folowing codec info in the VLC player: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1), low quality is 360p, high quality is 480p. The high quality has codec H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 1)

Hope this helps.

Any idea what's wrong and where can I change something?
