Are 262144 and 256 Hexadecimal or Decimal numbers?
Also, should they be set on the server and the client, or just the server?

Thanks.

Those are decimal numbers.

I should say that the improvement I saw was imaginary. I still have a lot of problems on both of my clients. There are two classes of the problem:

a) apparent buffer underflows where the file server is apparently choked serving the file (this is what the buffering changes should help, I think).

b) general stuttering/pausing on one of the clients, which I think to be a problem whose source is a combination of having a weak client and something that went wrong with the v6 demuxing/decoding/rendering process.

Suffice it to say that the numbers I posted are in no way an indication of success. Sorry for not posting this earlier, I've been battling with my SageTV installation since upgrading to v6, and it's hard to keep track of all of the problems and apparent solutions!

I'd take this type of improvement as long as it stuck around.
