Streaming from Network Drive

Issue/Question

Why is the video I am streaming from my Personal (P:), Shared (S:), or Secure (U:) network drives skipping and buffering?

Cause

Network drives do not have the bandwidth required to stream large data files in real time.

Resolution

  1. Copy file from network drive.
  2. Paste file to a local location on your computer.
  3. Open and view locally-saved copy.
