Freezing after 2-5s Streaming from SlingBox
#1
I am having an issue setting up my Raspberry Pi as a Slingbox client. I am using the native Slingplayer capability in XBMC. I have also purchased and installed the license for VC-1 and MPEG-2.

The video starts out garbled and pixelated with the wrong colors (everything looks white and ghostlike), then after 3-5 seconds, the video freezes and the top right corner says "Buffering." After that finishes, the video is still frozen. The RPi is still responsive, but no video streams.

This is not an ISP issue because I can stream fine on a computer. I also verified that I can play other videos such as from YouTube with no issue.

All I can think of is to attach the relevant lines from xbmc.log:

Has anyone seen this or give advice on things I can try to solve or debug this?
