How would you do that? Leave it to buffer for a while or what?

Have you got any bottle-necks in your network ?
Have you tested your downstream recently ?
If it`s a tudou stream they are generally slower than the others but still load for broadband users at a reasonable rate.
Cheers

Sorry, could you explain what bottle-necks are?
My speed on the pc is generally great for youtube and stuff, like I can load movies faster than they actually play. This is not the case for the Xbox.

Bottle neck ( a slowdown in your network ) from large bandwicth to low. Much like the neck of a bottle.
How is your xbox connected to your network ?
Directly via ethernet from the router or connected to the pc sharing an internet connection or wireless ?
If youtube streaming well to pc then check the connection between the xbox and the router, most cases it`s down to people connecting to pc via wireless then sharing the connection to the box but only getting low bandwidth.
Other than that try a diff plugin and see if the stream is caching while playing, think it`s the black button while watching the stream, check the cache bit.
Other than that brother i have no idea.

I'm having trouble with this plugin. I can't get any of the videos to play. I browse to the program I want to watch and click on it. It appears to start downloading some data but then I'm presented with a file browser with the only choice of '..' .
I have just installed XBMC on my xbox. Is there something else I need to do to get this plugin to work? Do I need to download something else? Also, if someone could tell me of a known working program that I can try just to make sure that I'm not clicking on content that is no longer available.
I am really eager to get this working so any help is much appreciated.

The Plugin is fine i have tested it again.
Read the thread : plugin tutorial with video at the top of this forum section.
It appears you have installed it incorrectly.
Remember it is for xbox xbmc.

Thats because the plugin uses the cached links from tv-shack, it doesn`t pull the megavideo id from the page then convert it to the true flv / avi via a megavideo algorithm.
It can - but tv shack are almost done with resolving megavideo flv files - after the algo change. I don`t see the point in changing the plugin code, only to have to revert it back later.
