It could be my iPhone 4, iOS, or it could be the App.
#Athome video streamer not connecting download
On replay I could see the video buffer, or the download bar for the video, just stopped loading most times that I replayed the video, even though it had loaded properly on the first play. Increasing the cache to 4GB and then 8GB did help a little bit, but I still got pauses when replaying those short videos 50% of the time. My tentative conclusion there is that the caching in the My Cloud App on my iPhone 4 isn’t as good as it should be, but the speed of transfer is fine for playing those videos. These pauses continue to the end of the video. However, if I play the same video again after it is finished, I can see that the My Cloud App can’t keep the video buffer as far ahead of the play position, which eventually catches up, and I get a long pause of the video while it reads or decodes more of the file. I can pause the video and restart it, and the video still plays normally. On first play I can see the video buffer stays ahead of the play position, and the whole video plays without pauses.
Now go back to you My Passport file tree, tap into "Sample Media" if you still have it, tap into videos, and play the videos. That is the cache size the My Cloud App uses. Now tap the Menu icon (top left of screen in home page), tap Settings, and check the Cache Size setting. With that off, you know you, and any Apps you use, can only use simple file streaming.Ģ. The first thing I would try is to turn off "Streaming (DLNA)" in the My Cloud App [swipe left on your MyPassport, tap Gear to get to Settings, tap More, tap Media, turn off Streaming (DLNA). There are still all the target device issues as well. Well, from the perspective of the MPW anyway. If you are just streaming files, which means you are just treating the MPW as a dumb hard disk, theoretically only the transfer speed from the MPW to the target device and the caching occuring will effect whether playback is smooth or not. The MPW can stream in two ways as well Just stream files as any hard disk would, or stream media using the MPW Media Server, which is a DLNA Server. Aside from the streaming speed, there are possibly transcoding issues at the source or target device due to resolution, format (Container, Codec, NTSC/PAL, etc.), caching and video buffering, decoding video, and then sometimes problems just seem to be compatibility issues. Video streaming issues are notoriously hard to diagnose and resolve.
