First off, I'm new so sorry if these questions are basic...
I just bought a Raspberry Pi running OpenElec 3.2.4 and XMBC 12.2. I bought it primarily to stream live sports and shows and movies using the addons like icefilms and sprotsdevil.
My issue is how long it takes to get a show started. It can take up to ten minutes to start a stream of a show that starts instantly running XMBC on an old Macbook. Once it gets started it runs pretty smoothly tho.
I've tried with both wifi and ethernet connection.
I may be picky here, but are there any ways I can improve the performance? Get the shows or live streams starting a little faster? Maybe improve the performance moving through the menus? Would updating the software help? Anyway to do that with a mac and without using an SD card reader?
Sorry to be such a beginner, but any help would be really appreciated, thanks.
