[QUOTE="Cordraconis, post: 1226552, member: 159447"] I suppose the total length is also sent/known? So buffer a given percentage and measure how much time it takes and then re-adjust the buffer for continuous playback? Maybe give a warning "buffering will take x minutes for smooth playback". However, this seems like an other problem: increasing bandwidth requirements with ever increasing resolutions (4K, Dolby DTS, ...) so may I suggest an on-the-fly transcoding feature (based on ffmpeg or something.) Then you can still do what I suggested above, but then calculate the bandwidth for smooth playback... Yes, I know transcoding is already asked, but in this case I couldn't resist as it seems the solution to the covering/higher problem imho. [/QUOTE]
