[QUOTE="Peter2, post: 426352, member: 24945"] Hi EddieGlitter, Have you tried to connect the 2 machines with a networkcable instead of wireless? Even though you're browsing the same machine, there's a difference between starting to play 1 movie file and streaming the remaining part as needed or browsing for a directory/folder with a lot of files. By connecting them through cables - via a switch/router, or a crosslink/crossover directly between 2 pc's - you can eliminate your network as a possible cause. I would think your problem lies there. Regarding your music: are you having not to much files in 1 directory? In the beginning I didn't really have a system for arranging my music (+15000) and with the version of MP I was using then, I also had that delay when opening a folder. Now, I have about 26 folders with the genre and in there I have arranged everything, either sub-genre or artist/name of the band. If I have more then 1 cd from that artist/band, I subdivide that folder again with the name of that cd and in case of a double cd, I subdivide that folder again with CD1 & CD2.
