Streaming music out of home is so freakin slow

When im outta home, and want to use my WD My Book Live Duo 6TB as “Spotify” it takes about 10+ seconds to load next song, and often stutters.
At home i got 20/20.

And i’ve tried at phone network, and with a computer on wi-fi.

Have troubles streaming videoes outta home aswell, anyone got a clue what i could be doing wrong?

  • And how to solve it

It’s normal for it to take beteen 5 to 10 seconds to play files remotely. It goes from the Duo to WD’s server, encryped, then sent back to your phone. Apply signal, speed, bottlenecks, ping, and distance variables to that.

Is there any way to get rid of that?

  • Installing some other player maybe?

Not outside your home network as it’s not real-time or pre-buffered.
