So i am running XBMC and have been streaming video from my PC for a couple of months now no problem. I just formatted and reinstalled windows and now it seems that it can't cache the video properly. The videos are choppy now. This happened the very first time I tried to stream, but for some reason (without me doing anything) started working. It just recently started doing it again. I have played with the cache size and nothing seems to work.

any ideas?

Where do you get the idea that there is a caching problem on the server/streaming system?

because now it takes like 15 seconds and a status bar appears and says "Caching files.......15 sec later......avi detected" It used to just play the video from the second i press 'x'

I've had this problem before as well, but i never found a reliable solution or cause. Rebooting tended to help though...

^ i have tried that...it just seems to be random. Then out of nowhere it will work again....

it seems like it can stream smaller (less quality) video from the PC, but the HD video are all still choppy. Maybe this is a codec deal? This problem just came out of nowhere!!

ok, well i have found something out! It seems that you must disable QoS Packet Scheduler for your connection. If this doens't work you may need to uninstall SP2. After I uninstalled SP2, everything worked like a charm. Let me know if this helps

cheers
