i stream video content over a wireless lan from my samba file server. i currently have the video over lan cache set to 16mb, and i usually don't have any problems. however, if i do have problems it is due to buffer underruns (0% cache) during the first 30 to 60 seconds of the video because apparently, the video starts playing before the cache is completely filled up.

i used to remember a setting that allowed you to set the percentage of cache that had to be filled before a video started. however, in recent releases, i can't find where to set that option.

how do you prevent playing until the cache is filled up to a certain percentage such as 50%, 75%, or 100%?

well i guess as a workaround i will pause videos for a few seconds when they first start to play. that way i can get a healthy buffer.
