Buffer issue?

soam24 · February 23, 2011, 11:48pm

when hooking up my toshiba external hd i am experiencing some MAJOR lag/buffer when playing ANY file back. Mind you im not running this via network, just usb.

Flac files seem as if they have to buffer, same with mkv files.

will having a different external or usb with just the file(s) i’d like to play help this issue?

updated firmware.

plugged in external hd.

let sit plugged in for like 30 minutes until playing.

still experiencing a buffer/skipping. movie is 1080 and about 11 gigs. maybe that is too much for the little box to handle?
