The path must be correct and the file names are CaSe SeNsItIvE - Good luck Incase your unfamilier with the 2 apps you can get them free from : VLC > VideoLAN - VLC: Official site - Free multimedia solutions for all OS! MPC > Media Player Classic - Home Cinema - Video Player

What wizardry is this? This actually worked for me.

Hey SkyLover, somehow everyone forgot to ask the most important question, what is your download speed? I looked at a couple of your speedtests and it seems to be about 1mbit. If that's the case then the reason you're having trouble is because your download speed is to low. For unbuffered streaming I would say you need a download speed of about 3mbit for SD and even more for HD. So your problem may simply be that your speed is too low. If you would still like to stream something I would suggest you pause the file and let it buffer for quite a while if you want seamless playback.

my pc speedtest(yes,it's very low ) almost 128 Kbps but my seedbox speedtest (DL:30 Mbytes/s) ,is that low?

thnx.

Works for me aswell You can fine tune the caching if you get buffering now and then.
The important part is the directory path because everyones will be different - /user/home/downloads/movies_download_folder/movie_name.avi

I tried what KPHService said but it didn't work.

I have MPC on my seedbox.

You want MPC on your home pc to watch it not on the server.
It does work but ONLY if the directory path is correct and BluntedKing has confirmed it works.
