I recently purchased an airport extreme card to install in my 2nd computer, an eMac 1,25 G (used in living room for apple tv-type media center setup). I can now send files over network, then play them on VLC on that computer, saving me the hassle of dumping media onto a usb key & manually transferring it. Then I tried streaming video through local network (opening movies from mounted network disc & playing them with VLC &/or Quicktime ) but the result is pretty choppy playback, with glitches/dropped frames every 10 seconds or so. It seemed surprising as that i am able to transfer large files from my iMac to my eMac quite quickly. Could this be a buffer issue with VLC or quicktime? Does anyone have a similar setup that works sufficiently?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
