[QUOTE="dvgeek, post: 1128492, member: 144768"] [USER=144466]@HeloDog76[/USER] - This happens when the buffer empties faster than it is filled. Two things are responsible for this - buffer side is small or network speed incoming data to fill the buffer (I'm going to ignore the third reason because nowadays we can read much faster from a disk than the previous two conditions) Before bumping up the buffer size (I think the default buffer size is fine), as you could run into the same issue even if you bumped up the buffer size, please check your network throughput between the openelec client and your backend server. The best way to do this would be from the OpenElec side - but that would mean opening a Unix session and transferring a file from your backend to the OpenElec machine and measuring time. But another way, which is close enough is to enable SMB file sharing in OpenElec and use a utility like WinSCP (google it if you do not have it - it will execute from it's own directory without installing) to transfer a good size (> 4GB) file to the OpenElec machine from your backend server. Check how fast the file can be transferred - if it does an average or more than 1.5GB per minute - your are in good shape on the network side. If the average is less than 1GB per minute - you have network issues. If your network is fine then you could follow the instructions here -->[url]http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_the_video_cache[/url] to see if it helps. [/QUOTE]
