JRemote - videos randomly stop playing.
« on: October 24, 2014, 08:53:02 am »

Been using JRemote some lately to watch movies/tv shows on the iPad.  What I have noticed is that with large movie files, the movie will just randomly stop playing several times during the viewing.  When it happens, it kicks you back to the screen where you start the movie, and when the movie starts back up it is rarely at the point it dropped out (usually ahead in the show by a bit).  It does not happen when the file size is smaller, only with large MKV or BluRay files.

Streaming the same files with other programs (like Air Video) at their highest quality settings this doesn't happen so I am pretty sure it is not a network/bandwidth issue.

Removed 'large' from the title.  This is happening with all videos, not just large ones - even .avi files that are ~350mb.  Anything that can be done about this?  Is there a buffering issue at play or some other cause?

Can anyone confirm that LAN playback of video files works flawlessly for them 100% of the time?

We need to improve the streaming experience on iOS, since it`s not working all that well at the moment.
Improvements will come in either MC updates and/or JRemote updates.
