Comment 30 for bug 496616

Same problem here... Streaming them with DLNA/UPnP doesn't work neither... Jeez, that's basic stuff from the nineties man, streaming video over lan! "Ubuntu: can't even play vids over LAN", not a nice slogan, I would say... And with VLC, it's not that superbug we have here, but an annoying glitch every 5 to 10 minutes of watching over LAN... But I guess that's another bug... Something like a buffer-underrun although the wireless connection is 54mbits, 100%... Not a windows-fan myself, but I sure never had these kinds of time-consuming, 6 months-to-resolve bugs (if they ARE getting resolved by the maintainers, that is) to do basic stuff like watching a vid with a laptop and streaming it from my homeserver. That's it: i'm reinstalling my laptop with the legal xp it came with... At least THAT works... Bye folks! Happy bugging!
