Still doesn’t work for me. It caches the amount requested at the start and then just stops playing part way into the video. Playing HD720p AVI over wireless network via windows network file sharing.

Most frustrating.

I had a problem with periodic skipping on my HDTV when running it as a second monitor. The problem seemed to be a refresh rate issue and enabling triple buffering and increasing the cache fixed the problem completely. Thanks

Hey, I did this, set me Cache to 100000, now when I skip ahead It stops playing the audio, if I then set it to the start of the file I get audio to play. Any idea about what I can do to fix this?

thanks for your tutorial, I was wanting to use VLC for my HD vids instead of MPC.

I’m not TOO sure but I think the most recent release (0.9.9) fixed that issue with the lagging because I haven’t experienced any ever since I updated. Again, I’m positive but I haven’t been noticing any drags and lags. But thanks for the tutorial!

Media Player Classic (k-lite mega codec pack) certainly handles the Hi-Def videos in a much better way.

I just went to do this and mine was defaulted to 300, not 600. It had to be the default because I’ve never changed it. Version 0.9.9 if it matters.

I’ve set it to 600 and we’ll see how that works

now i use media player classic with the k-lite codec pack
so much better than vlc and also plays .mkv’s in 720p and 1080p properly without lagging
