Nuvio only pulling ~15 MB/s on 100+ Mbps bitrate files despite having 300 Mbps connection
Hey everyone,
I’m having a weird issue with Nuvio and I’m trying to figure out whether the problem is with Nuvio, TorBox, my Wi-Fi, or something else.
I’m using:
- Internet: 300 Mbps connection
- Connection to device: 5 GHz Wi-Fi
- Device: Laptop
- Player: Nuvio built-in player
- Debrid: TorBox Standard
- Files: 4K Remux / high-bitrate files, sometimes 100+ Mbps bitrate
The problem is that whenever I try to stream a file with a bitrate above 100 Mbps, Nuvio seems to pull data at only around 15 MB/s (~120 Mbps) and doesn't really go any higher.
My internet connection should theoretically be capable of around 37.5 MB/s, and normal speed tests/downloads can get close to that, so I don't think the 300 Mbps connection itself is the bottleneck.
What confuses me is that the stream needs more bandwidth than what Nuvio is consistently pulling, so I end up getting buffering on high-bitrate files.
Has anyone else experienced this with Nuvio + TorBox? Is there some setting I should change, or is there a limitation somewhere in Nuvio/TorBox that I'm missing?
Any advice or troubleshooting steps would be appreciated.
