James, thanks for your input. I already had threads = 2 in my config, now |
| 14 |
I notice that this syntax is not valid. My cache setting was only 10M, and |
| 15 |
I did not know about cache-min. |

First, I thought these settings would help, the video I tested this with |
| 18 |
this night no longer had problems. I commented the settings one after |
| 19 |
another in order to find out which settings exactly helped most, and even |
| 20 |
without them, it played fine. Maybe the whole video was in the cache at |
| 21 |
that time already. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Then I tried another video, again with the settings you suggested, and it |
| 24 |
stuttered. There were small pauses when the system did some stuff, and |
| 25 |
when I did my dd test, the pauses were as long as five seconds. FIVE |
| 26 |
SECONDS! |
