Play movies over Network -> Buffering

[Speedrat]

Hi,

I use raspbmc to play my movies on the TV. its work really greate over all!
the only problem is. if I play a 1080p movie over a SSH connection (via xbmc intregratet support) connection I get a buffering message every few min. and the movie will freez for this time.


have anyone a idea to fix it?

Why would you play over SSH? SMB/CIFS or NFS or uPnP are not good enough for you?

[Speedrat]

its a problem about my access rights ;-)
the server isnt local at my home and the easyest way to get a working connection is ssh.

but i dont think that this is the problem for the puffering. its not a big job to use a ssh connection even for an arm.

From the Wiki:

Quote:Choose HDMI (OMX) as both your Audio output Device and Passthrough output device

http://www.raspbmc.com/wiki/user/sound/

I can't see any option to select passthrough?



(using RC3).

Hello,
passthrough should be activated if the options in circle are marked.



Also you should see if passthrough is active the message when trying to change the volume.

i hade this problem to...
fix it with that...

http://cybernetnews.com/xbmc-troubleshoo...ng-issues/

changed the "advancedsettings.xml"

<network>
<cachemembuffersize>5242880</cachemembuffersize>
</network>
the default is "5242880 bytes (= 5MB)"
to "52428800 bytes (= 50MB)"

and that fix everything...
u can use "524288000 bytes (= 500MB)" but i dont thinks that the RPI is strong for that, but you can try...

I passthrough AC3 and DTS to my external Decoder.

I also change the cachemembuffsize up to 96MB, this works better but there are still buffering times.
If I change up to 100MB or above of it the movie will stop every few sec. I think this is to much for the rasp pi.

It seems its to much for the rasp pi to play a 1080p movie AND gets enought new data via SSH.
