My stream is buffering, what can I do?
There are different root causes for buffering issues:
1. Check your internet speed
Go to www.bandwidthplace.com and check your internet speed
Lower than you expected? Reset your router by unplugging, wait 1 minute and restart it.
Re-run the test
2. Run an addon with good server speeds
In XBMC, go to Music> VEVO TV> US Hits. How does this stream?
Streaming speeds highly depend on the offered server. We are not responsible for any 3rd party streaming servers.
3. Add additional buffering space
In XBMC go to Programs> Xunity Maintenance> Tweaks> Select Add 0 Cache Advacedsetting.xml
If you receive a script failure make sure to update the source:
System->File Manager->xf->click on Menu or 'c' on your remote and edit the source to http://xfinity.xunitytalk.com
Select xf and select XunityTalk_Repository.zip -> All Addons related to this source will be updated automatically
This increases your buffering space.
