STB emulator optimal settings?

by AyeAyeone2three

I have a 3rd gen firetv. With the up-to-date STBemu pro set to mag254. Have changed resolution to 1080p 60hz (monitor supports it), disabled network cache, added a buffer size of 5seconds. Are there any other settings that would optimize my set-up? Shall i increase/decrease buffer (please justify why)...

i have tested my connection through stbemu internal test and through firetv firefox browser many times and get a solid 50mbs and 5-10mbs up. Wifi is 5ghz with QoS set-up and router is the same room.

I'm a believer in if it aint broke dont try n fix it... and for the most part my set-up is good. However; i noticed alot of the UK channels always buffer/rewind themselves whereas US/CA or even UK sports play fine. EXO player works best on fireTV so use that. Regarding channels that buffer; if i use VLC as an external player they play well. But VLC is really badly incompatible (UI wise) with STBemu so its not really a viable solution. Any suggestions/some settings i'm overlooking ? I'm with a reliable iptv too - Fabiptv.

Most likely on the providers end no IPTV service is free from buffering.

I haven't used Fab before; however, I have had better results with m3u lists on my Andriod TV if supported by the IPTV provider. Are you using any MAG specific features (i.e. timeshift, VOD etc.)? If not, I'd switch to Perfect Player and use m3u instead.

STb emu was just made compatible with 3rd gen firetv. Try using perfect player. If there's still issues then ask your reseller to check your connection and force a server.
