'It Appears Your Player is Having Difficulty Buffering HD" WTF!!!
Streamed an HD flick from HUDU last night. Halfway through it stops, screen says "buffering", get a message that says something like "It appears you are having difficulty buffering the movie in HD, would you like to play it in lower quality?" WTF?
Question: What spec do I look for in a DVD player that indicates if a player has the capacity to buffer HD at a rate that will not cause play stoppage? Facking annoying. I'm a n00b, I know I know. |

What kind of DVD player do you have vail?
http://www.hulu.com/support/streaming Buffering When a video is paused, Hulu loads a small portion of the video into your computer's memory. The buffer progress bar allows you to see how much of a video has been stored, and when the bars reach "full," about five minutes of the video have been loaded. (Due to legal reasons, Hulu currently does not buffer more than a small portion of a video at a given time.) Stuttering videos are, unfortunately, among the hardest problems to diagnose. A good rule of thumb is:

If your dvd player is wireless g, that is likely not going to allow enough bandwidth to process HD quality vid. I had the same issue until I upgraded to a wireless N router and wireless N equipment.
Now all my hd streaming is silky smooth. |

I can see how to upgrade my router to N but not sure if my player is G or N.
