OK folks - a little bit of newbie help needed.
VU+ DUO setup with VIX 1.3 - works like a dream on the HDMI TV I have. However, the missus is watching my big fat gypsy wedding and I would like to stream something else (anything else!) to my PC as I type.
Now, earlier on thie evening I have tried the Http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX to the VU+ - menu's come up fine. I don't appear to be able to watch WebTV (no matter what I try I get "Nothing to Play" in a big red banner at the top of the window. I'm using firefox 3.5 with VLC plugin.
Any time I try to stream (via WMP or VLC) some content I might get anywhere between 2 and 30 seconds of it before the content stops. Clicking play merely replays the bit I've just seen.
Is this a caching issue withing VLC and WMP? Is there anything I can change on my VU+DUO to assist?
I notice there are a number of other people with roughly the same issue.
Someone help me out - I'm desperate. The missus is thinking of putting Kramer Vs Kramer on next :eek:
