Hello everyone, i am trying to stream video through a samba share with openvpn. A straight file copy yields sustained 20mbit transfer rate. However, if i try to play back that same file (file bitrate is far below 20mbit) in xbmc it will buffer, quickly blow through the buffer and i see it is only pulling down the file at about 300kB/s. Is there anything i might be doing wrong, im not really understanding why xbmc is essentially limiting bandwidth. Thanks!
