[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1029252, member: 82144"] Bandwidth is only one half of the concern. The other half is latency. The issue with wireless is as much latency as it is bandwidth, and my guess is that is what is killing it for you here. Are you literally browsing to a network share and attempting to play the file? There is no guarantee that playback should work as the size of chunks transferred and latency could mean that the data is not arriving in time for VLC to stream smoothly. When data arrives late it will be thrown away. Which points to network exacerbating an issue with the way you access/share the files. No, I wouldn't say that. As above, latency is the other half of the coin. Extreme example: if 1% transferred in the first minute and the rest transferred in the last 5 minutes then you'd have a big gap where the client had no data to play. [/QUOTE]
