Sling Media Router SB260-100 User Manual

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.
