[QUOTE="Jay_UK, post: 927527, member: 98509"] Hi there, Caching/buffering wont help.... what you are implying is that your internet connection is not large enough to sustain the constant required bandwidth to the deliver the data (movie)?? You are buffering up front... but if the connection is not large enough to sustain the cache (as you are consuming quicker than feeding) then unless you virtually buffer the whole movie (or enough to fill the buffer minus the consumption rate). If you can't/dont want to increase your bandwidth (and want to use the full blown MePo client), then potentially you have three options: Reduce the bandwidth requirement of the movie (which normally equates to reduced quality) Use a technology that does WAN optimisation Have a massive cache on the client (which will mean you will have to wait unless for the cache to prime before the movie starts) Presenting a cacheing prompt/time to view might be an option, but I assume will require a lot of work :( J.
