My aim is to use a Raspberry Pi B+ as a media center. I installed OSMC on it and also installed video addons for YouTube, Vimeo and Vevo. When I start streaming videos, the streaming and playback is really flacky. Some frames get dropped, the progress bar does not move and it gives me a feel that there is something wrong. My internet speed is 71Mbps, so download speed isn’t a problem. I tried OpenELEC and Xbian and both gave similar issues. I then flashed an old Raspbmc image and installed the Vevo addon (as YouTube addon is no longer supported) and the streaming worked like a charm. Is this something to do with the newer versions of OSMC or Kodi in general?
This sounds really strange and sounds like some addon issues. But maybe first check the network (btw are you using wifi or ethernet?).
try wget http://ipv4.download.thinkbroadband.com/50MB.zip and post the outcome.
Also please provide logs:

I am using WiFi. I tried uploading logs. I got a link too (http://paste.osmc.io/%20rizipuxumi)
but when I open the link, I get an error. Will it be useful if I post a private video of what’s happening on YouTube and share the link?
How do I do a wget on OMSC? Is there a terminal equivalent?
I tried capturing the log again, still no luck with the details. Here’s the new link: http://paste.osmc.io/ dopacatiyu
Sorry about the trouble, but I am a complete newbie.
Yes, exactly. I tried connecting the WiFi adapter again this morning and the buffering issue persists. I now suspect if the Raspberry Pi isn’t getting sufficient power to support the wireless mouse adapter and the WiFi adapter together. I’ll try disconnecting the mouse tomorrow morning and check if it is any better.
