Hi,
I searched for this but found only one inconclusive thread. Most of my video files are on my desktop, in the back room. However, I do most of my watching of these files on my TV, in the living room. It would be great if I could access the video files on my desktop directly over the wireless LAN to play them on my TV. And this works, in theory, but playback is consistently choppy. If I copy the same file to the living-room laptop that is actually being used to play the files on the TV, everything works great. This suggests the problem is that the data isn't sent fast enough over my LAN.
Is there a way to force VLC to buffer the data more?
Should I be using streaming to solve this problem? If so, what kind?
Thanks for any info or links,
Jonah
