Lagging issues - PLEASE HELP!!!

[mrtaxman]

Hi,

Needing some help regarding big lagging issues every time I try to watch something. The audio will be out of sync and then the whole movie gets super choppy. Any insight at all would be really helpful.

Thanks,

Can I ask, Because the movie file already downloaded on my mac, and i'm just wirelessly streaming it to the media server - would having faster internet help? or make no difference at all. I've been told both answers.

Faster WAN connection? No.
Faster LAN connection? Absolutely, as indicated in the FAQ regarding wired vs wireless connections.

hmm..ok.

Unfortunately I don't have a choice but to go wireless. The frustrating part is how sometimes it works like a charm, and then sometimes it cuts out.

Wireless connections can suffer from random temporary (and also permanent) interference. There are some suggestions in that FAQ post for potential settings to help make wireless connections more stable (wireless channel, transmission rate, etc), but they're not a fix all.
