| Symptom | Likely Cause | Quick Fix |
|---------|--------------|-----------|
| Constant buffering | Internet speed < required bitrate (≈ 8 Mbps for 1080 p @ 12 Mbps). | Lower playback quality temporarily; pause to let buffer fill; switch to wired Ethernet. |
| Pixelation or blocky artifacts | Player is decoding in software (CPU‑bound) or using a low‑quality stream. | Enable hardware acceleration; verify you selected the “Extra Quality” tier. |
| Audio out of sync | Player’s video rendering pipeline is lagging. | Turn off “Post‑processing”, enable “Audio desynchronisation compensation” in VLC (Tools → Preferences → Audio). |
