Video buffering from local SMB source

    Hello -

    Today I updated from OpenELEC and am now having buffering issues. I've read through a lot of posts and have tried many various recommendations of which none seem to work.

    I've tried disabling VDPAU, Adjusting display refresh rate from Off to Always and back, I created the AdvancedSettings.XML file, tried different movies, nothing seems to change.

    My hardware is as follows:

    i5-2300

    8gb ddr3

    80gb intel 330 SSD

    NVIDIA 730 gfx

    home network operates at 1gb with no issue

    Everything worked fine on the same hardware when I was using OpenELEC. I updated because of the update support LibreELEC receives as well the more secure system

    advancedsettings:

    <advancedsettings>

    <cache>

    <buffermode>2</buffermode>

    <memorysize>524288000</memorysize>

    <readfactor>5</readfactor>

    <curlclienttimeout>10</curlclienttimeout>

    <curllowspeedtime>10</curllowspeedtime>

    </cache>

    </advancedsettings>

    What am I missing?

    Do you still have the same problem playing files from a direct connected USB Flash Drive ?

    I didn't think to try this method. I can check.


    Every time the system "buffers" I am seeing this in the debug log

    Is this 'StillFrame' a symptom or culprit?
