XBMC4Xbox [removed] 1/50 sources work! + buffering.

Post by ReallyAustin »

Hello I really need help with this annoying problem I am having with my XBMC4Xbox mostly [removed]. The problem is that whenever I try to watch anything only like 2 or 3 of the sources work when there's about 15 or 20 available. When I do actually get a source to work it buffers like crazy and basically renders it unwatchable. I have a 10 megabit dl speed connection so I don't think that is the problem since everything on my computer works fine(including [removed] website). All I am asking is for some help from the Pros. By the way I have tried about 5 other builds of Xbmc4xbox from all different sites and people and they all have the same problem. I also have 2 Xbox's and have the same problem on both of them so I don't know what to do anymore. I leftt out that sometimes when I go to watch a show like House MD it works SOMETIMES, but often it buffers alot. Thanks and my logs will be below (:.

My personal opinion would be to use Movie25 for your movies and either StreamAllThis or VideoBull for your TV Shows. I think StreamAllThis went down today but the other 2 are working great, I've been watching stuff all day on the xbox with zero buffering (I've set my advancedsettings to cache to HDD, there is a thread from xphazer about how to do this). [removed] isn't anywhere near as good as the three I just mentioned on xbox, it's amazing on mainbranch but xbox it does seem to have a few issues most of the time I try to use it.

Let us know how you get on with those addons, if you're struggling with those then maybe there's a bigger issue to be looked in to. Oh and you should be running xbmc4xbox 3.3 (I think you said you were on that anyway).

to answer your original question, if streams buffer it is because the data is not coming in quick enough. This is often due to the streaming source server. Other factors can be your internet speed, routing between your isp and the destination machine, or poor wireless networking. I'm not saying it;'s that just pointing out possibilities. Most likely is the stream source etc.

Not much can be done about that, apart from signing up for premium accounts etc. However, you will find some are quicker than others.

for something that is giving an error when installing, you need to post another debug log.

To add to what others have said, i would also recommend changing your dvdplayer and mplayer cache. That worked for me.

Glad you got it up and running, what was the issue in the end? I can honestly say so far this week I've yet to encounter anything on StreamAllThis or Movie25 that's buffered so the sources appear to be good (if it's an option sockshare and putlocker are generally the best). My download speed is very good as I'm on fibre but at the end of the day you can only stream as fast as the video host servers will allow you so if they are getting hammered by loads of users all at the same time you will encounter some buffering (usually at weekends).
