Video sometimes lags on PS3


Recommended Posts

WHY the hell does my video sometimes lag when I have 30mbps download speeds? Netflix doesn't lag, neither does gaming. But when I stream movies from my home PC to my PS3 it lags at times and ****es me off. Also, when I watch YouTube videos on my PS3 some videos lag and buffer for maybe 30 seconds before playng anf then buffering again. Someone help me!

How is it connected? Wired or wireless?

The PS3 is wired to the router. Sometimes I'll launch the YouTube app and some videos will play flawlessly and some play choppy. It's frustrating.

This. Also, what are your PC specs?

Core 2 Duo E6600 OC'd at 3.24 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 1 TB Samsung Spinpoint HD, ATI Radeon X1950. It would lag with those specs when I would try to stream 5-11GB MP4 files. Now I'm on a Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5234.

Is the laptop wired or Wi-Fi when streaming to the PS3?

I tried both. With WiFi it lags quite a bit and it's pretty close to the router. When wired, some videos on YouTube still lag but not too often and when they do it's for a short period of time. I don't understand that tho when my connection is really fast.

Edit: Oh and wired, the 2GB movies don't really lag at all.

Is the speed of your internet 30mbps on the PS3 network test, or just on your PC?

You computer beats the hell out of mine, yet I play 1080p 18gb DTS movies with subtitles just fine... so there is something there for sure that isn't right on your end.

Is the Laptop of powersaving mode?

What type of router do you have? It might be slowing done the connection enough to make movies lag...

Wireless is not the way to stream any HD movie. Even being just 1 room away from mine, it can't stream anything above DVD quality without having issues. You must go wired for 1080p quality.

Youtube lagging is either an issue with the speed your ps3 is connecting to your router/internet, or just youtube in general. It's been rather slow for me on certain ones as well.

Also, are you using either PMS or UMS to stream to the ps3? If so, make sure you disable subtitles, as this can sometimes cause issues with buffering. I also recommend setting the amount of cpu's to double what you have. I have a dualcore as well, but have UMS and PMS set to 4 cpus, and it seemed to actually help it buffer faster.. might be just a placebo affect though.

Some movies can eat up the buffer and will also just require you to pause it for a little bit to fill up the buffer. Then it will give your computer time to buffer more as it plays.

    • Hello, I am not as familiar with AMD CPUs as I am with Intel's, but as I understand it, that's a mid-range CPU from about three years ago.  I would think it to be fine for everyday casual-type use.  A larger SSD might be better, but with storage prices these days that's a decision that has to be carefully thought about.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.

    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
