What should I look at? I can not increase the power of the laptop, and anyway, the tablet seems to handle the situation much better. Well, it is also a somewhat smaller display...
Ideas?
That guess would be my first guess too. Does the difference in display size result in VLC attempting to play a different type of video encoding? You would think not, since apache is serving the same file, but I wonder what VLC is doing on the player end with the stream? Whether that increase in display size causes a dramatic increase in network traffic because VLC is doing something different with playback. If it plays on the tablet fine, but not the laptop, then what's different about the tablet and laptop? Are both running the same version of opensuse, etc..? If not, is there something different about the networking? These are just guesses of course. One thing that would help narrow the scope of the guesses would be to know what the tablet is (IOS? Android?) and I'm guessing the laptop is Leap, but which one? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
