Buffering/Stuttering of streamed audio/video files with MEGA.nz drive

Hi there.

I was evaluating NetDrive and faced one issue holding me back from using NetDrive productively. When playing music or opening a video file (all files not to big - music files approx. 5 - 10 MB per file. Video file around 500MB or so) I get constantly interruptions when playing that music/video file. I assume that it is a kind of buffering but that never should happen on my fast internet connection. I also evaluated your competitor RaiDrive and there all streamed files are played without any issues, without any stuttering or interruptions. From that I conclude that this isn’t a problem with my connection and it is not a problem with MEGAs services. Still I would like to choose NetDrive because of the background uploads and other features but that streaming problem is a real concern for me because in every song I get interruptions. Could you maybe check the params for MEGA? Maybe it can be fixed. Thanks!

  • Used players: Groove Music for audio files; VLC for video files

Hi! Thanks for the quick response. Here’s the log.

Described problem occured multiple times starting 12:55 o’clock with used video file “20110627_1436.mpg” for reproducing the issue.

Hello.

I reviewed the log files you attached.

The download speed was about 540KB/s according to your log files.

Mean speed (B/s): 540977

So, I tried to reproduce your issue with movie files and check the speed.

The mean download speed was about 2MB/s according to my log file.

Mean speed (B/s): 2561937

Also the issue you faced was not reproduced.

I’m not sure why the issue happened

Does the issue persists?
