I've looked all around google and these forums but haven't found what i'm looking for yet!

How do you increase the streaming buffer size in frontrow/quicktime? I'm playing content stored on my windows PC over wi-fi to my macbook and it keeps skipping occasionally.

I fixed this in VLC by increasing the buffer size, however frontrow doesn't use VLC to play movies.

I tried changing the instant on settings, long delay/short delay but haven't found anything regarding actual buffer size.

Is there a way to do this? I hope i'm not missing something simple!
 
Well it seems OSX sort of corrects itself a little by buffering more but never enough! I gave up and moved to Windows Media Center instead 😀
