Hi.I would ask if is possible to play videos from web with buffering and choose size and memory (HDD, USB or mmc) where allocate this buffer.
Now I'm sending videos from openload, streamango and other hosts with webvideocaster and dreamdroid installed on my smartphone, in media player on my Zgemma h5 with openPLI 6 but sometimes, expecially in the evening, the servers are overload and videos freeze a lot.
Is there a way to have buffer, also using alternative media player plugins?

You can add buffers to it by changing the last number digit in the service ref.... Replace the last 0 by 1 or 2....

Where exactly I can change this value? Can you explain better please? If I choose this value then where the buffer is stored (USB, internal memory...)?

Remember that the box is an STB, made for DVB reception, it is not a mediaplayer, and OpenPLi isn't mediaplayer software.

 

So you won't find any applications to aid streaming in OpenPLi, you'll have to know what you're doing.


Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Pro (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)

Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.

Many answers to your question can be found in our new and improved wiki.
