SlingPlayer options

The SlingPlayer Options provide fine-tuning settings to optimize your viewing experience.

Player Settings

SlingStream optimization generally provides the best possible video experience at any given time, although you can also manually change the settings.

Automatic buffering will select the appropriate buffer size based on your current network conditions. It is recommended that you leave the Sling- Player in automatic buffer mode.

Manual buffering allows you to select your own buffer size, in seconds.

Enable SlingStream smoothing prevents jumpiness in the video when mov- ing frame to frame.

Enable SlingStream optimizer helps keep the video playing smoothly, even in low bandwidth situations.

Enable Fast start enables you to immediately enjoy video after remote com- mands (e.g., changing the channel) without rebuffering.

Original Settings: If you have made any changes to the settings on this screen, selecting this button returns those settings to their defaults.
