Hello,
My setup is a windows 8 pc, with 4 mybook hard drives connected (3 via usb 3.0) directly to it and set to share through windows...question 1., what kind of share is this? I replaced a boxee box with the mede8er as the boxee would drop HD audio, picture always played fine, and I was told it was the chip....got the m8, and actually my problems are worse, video will drop audio, then stutter....If I stop and start it will work briefly, then drop audio, then stutter....gets worse the longer the movie goes. I have a long run of CAT 5E going from the PC to the m8....my internet goes through a comcast cable modem, to a gigabit wireless router, long run to the basement, then to a gigabit switch in the basement going to the mede8er, bluray, and xbox....I haven't done any special settings and know very little about networking.....any advice/suggestions on how to fix this is greatly appreciated...I think the boxee actually worked fine other than the hd/chip limitations, so not sure what the prob is here....thanks!!
