Only a few channels are stuttering over a 100Mbps LAN - Page 2

I think people are looking for additional information, that is why chemelli is asking you to perform the shift + t on the display, to have you report back what you are seeing with some of those channels.

edit: My bad - that should be shift+1 (not the "t" key)

Ahem ... I tried Shift 1 and Shift T but I can't get any reaction

I have to do this on the client using the TV client plugin right ?
Are these the good keys to see informations about streaming ?

It should be the "!" (exclaimation key) - Yes you have do it while in the client viewing video.

Thank you mzemina !

Here's what I get with the working channel :

Here's the stuttering channel :

I hope this helps.

I have exactly the same problem with 5-6 DVB-T channels on the Faroe Islands. Thought I was the only one so I made my own thread. Stutter on TV Client
But it is probably better to keep it in one thread so I will just follow "Toz" in his thread instead.

That's good to feel like I'm not alone.

What's your server's network chipset ukra ? Mine is Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet ...
I only use 100 Mbps communications.

All my network communications are also 100 mbps.

My "server" has a motherboard from Asrock (K8SLI-eSATA2) It has an onboard LAN with
Realtek PHY RTL8201CL chipset.

I tried to configure one of my clients as a server. The client has a Asus M2N SLI motherboard with onboard LAN chipset from Nvidia. Specs are copied from Asus.com
(NVIDIA nForce® 500 SLI™ MCP built-in Gigabit MAC with external Attansic PHY)
That didn´t change anything.

My router is a Linksys WAG54GS.

toz · 2008-03-04, 23:51

My router is a Sagem, anyway I replaced it with a simple switch and the problem was the same.

I thought about a problem with the network packets size. That could explain that streaming works well on the same machine (single seat) but doesn't work over ethernet.

I'll Wireshark my server if I have time.

The bitrate used by the stuttering channels is more interesting than resolution and fps. I don't think there's a MP tool to analyze the bitrate but you could use TSReader Lite (the application) to analyze recordings or 'i' button in MyTheatre while watching live tv.

I am wondering whether my issue mentioned ::here:: could be related to yours as well...
