Endless Buffering on Stable Gigabit Network

Single Board Computers Odroid N2/N2Plus/C4
5

So to try to troubleshoot this, I purchased an NVIDIA Shield Pro. Using the same exact advancedsettings.xml on both devices:

1 524288000 40

I’m seeing the following:

  • Odroid N2 doesn’t fill the buffer cache right away. It takes a about 20 seconds before it really starts to fill. Until then, cache is nearly empty
  • NVIDIA Shield DOES the buffer cache right away and buffering issues are pretty much gone

Not sure if this is defective hardware or a bug or what. It seems to happen regardless of content, so not sure a sample would help…
