@Kevin Kershaw- The adverse effect is that with the 5000ms cache in place VLC takes 5 seconds to start, pause, and stop a video! It definitely makes the VLC feel less responsive and I prefer the default values.

This sure is a delayed response but I’m wondering – why not just have VLC run with the cache at 5000ms by default for local and networked files? Is there an adverse effects to permantly raising the buffer?

Just what I was looking for to deal with my bad wifi signal quality.

Thanks for the tip, been looking for how to do this for a while. Now I can actually play videos off of my bonjour drive without first copying it to my local HD.
