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.
