I understand the network speeds, I was simply stating it just so that it wasn't blamed on network speeds :)
The files are being served from hdds in raid 5 on the server so there should be no speed problems from there.
I had the pre buffer at 50% and I've now set the pre buffer to 10% of 300mb. I have also set it for network and fixed drives as I have the network shares mounted and didn't know if BS Player would know the difference.
While checking the status when loading a xvid encoded avi (350MB) the file starts playing the first few seconds of the file briefly pauses (1 sec or so) when the buffer is at 0% then starts playing at 10% but with the x264 encoded mkv (4.37GB) it didn't start until it reached a full 100% taking about 10 seconds.
Not really a problem just wondering if there is a way of making it handle it a bit more gracefully.
