So yesterday I was at my brother's house and we tried watching a 480p movie on his XBOX 360 streamed from my Plex server that was at my house. The file is releatively small. It's in H.264 AAC. All we got was buffering. His XBOX is wired to his router. My server is wired to my router at home. Normally I'd think it was bandwidth or traffic or something, but he had just upgraded his speeds to 200/20 as did I about a month ago. So bandwidth should be fine.
We tried Plex on the iPad and cast it to his Chromcast. Worked perfectly. It played fine on an iOS and on a computer as well.
Is the 360 app stuck somehow to the XBOX Live infrastucture? I've streamed lots of stuff (all pretty small, 480p and 720p H.264 and AAC) to Macs, an old Roku and iOS devices and has worked fine. The only times I've seen buffering issues have been on the 360.
Anyone else having issues with the 360?
