OK, I know there have been other posts about this but I really did not see a specific answer for this.
I am running WD Live hard wired using network shares to an XP server that has 6 Drives. Whan I play a Hubblecast video which is encoded in MP4 1080p it start fine then slows down to a crawl and there is no sound.
Obviously WD Live buffers some video because I pause the slow video for a minute and then hit play and it resumes at normal speed for another 30 sec and then slows down again.
Is there a remendy for this? I read that NFS might help, What is NFS? How do you install it/use it?
NFS is “Network File System.” It’s the *nix equivalent to Windows Shares (SMB) NFS has lower overhead than SMB, and often results in better streaming performance of high Bit-rate files.
The common remedy is to re-encode the file to a lower bitrate, as outlined in the FAQ in section 4F.
