VLC question

tea_bag · 12-01-2009, 7:46 PM

mini mac is downstairs connected via wireless to upstairs computer, when I play a mp3 or Divx film on the mini mac over the network from upstairs with VLC it can never keep up and shutters badly, all play ok when played with Quicktime over the network, but would prefer to use VLC,
are there any VLC settings I can play with ?.

i use VLC on the mac mini to stream content over the network although its a wired netowrk not wireless. No issues wih stuttering to speak of. Have u tried it wired as well?

wired works ok
it just does not want to buffer any files you play from network like QTime does
