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.

      I always thought the moon gets a lot of impact because there’s no atmosphere, so surely building a moon base is only going to end in disaster?

    • Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look

      Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is heavily used in work and school environments, and perhaps one of its core but extremely useful features is the ability to record meetings. In past years, Microsoft has further improved upon this functionality by integrating AI, but you do need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to leverage most, if not all, all of those capabilities. Now, the Redmond tech firm is making another significant enhancement in the area of Teams meeting recordings. Up until now, if you wanted to access Teams recordings, you had to arduously locate the meeting invite and navigate to the dedicated tab, or go to the cloud storage location such as a SharePoint site. This was a rather overwhelming activity, especially if you don't remember the name of the meeting or the meeting occurred quite a while ago. Microsoft is now attempting to solve this problem through a dedicated Recap app that consolidates all your recordings. This centralized experience will allow users to find all recordings from the past 30 days and also offer access to other related services such as transcripts and AI-powered summaries. Customers will have the option to search for recordings, filter them, and review multiple meetings by generating AI-powered podcast-style recaps. The Recap app will list all available recordings in both thumbnail and list views. The former is shown below: And here is how Teams users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can select multiple recordings to generate a podcast-style audio recap: Microsoft has emphasized that the Recap app is pre-installed in Teams but it will not be pinned by default. Users will able to navigate to the Teams app store from the left rail, and pin it from the apps section. It will be enabled by default for all users once it becomes available. It's worth noting that while Teams recordings and transcripts can be accessed by all users governed by existing permissions, AI-powered features like intelligent summaries, audio recaps, and video recaps will require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. The Recap app will be generally available to Teams users on Windows, Mac, and the web by the end of next month, with mobile support coming soon.

      It's so stupid that you have to "enroll" in these extended updates.
