[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1237303, member: 82144"] I did say: [LIST=1] [*]That MediaPortal was only the last link in a chain of buffers, including the tuner. [*]That the most significant portion of [I]the delay introduced by MediaPortal[/I] was likely to be the time-shift file link.[B] [/B]That says nothing about the relative contribution of MediaPortal's contribution to the overall delay. [/LIST] ...so, that's a big Yes. By way of a general comment... In the first post you mentioned that you noticed the difference between the timing of your neighbour's fireworks and the countdown on your MediaPortal/KODI-fed TV. This is [I]highly[/I] imprecise when you consider that you're attempting to quantify a time difference that's likely to be of the order of a few seconds. I mean, you seem to be making some fairly significant assumptions: [LIST] [*]that the timing of the TV countdown on the channel you're viewing is accurate (ie. zero/negligible transmission delay etc.) [*]that your neighbours were timing their fireworks off the same TV countdown (ie. same channel or whatever) as you [*]that your neighbours' lighting of their fireworks fuses was timed such that the fireworks would go off at exactly midnight, relative to the TV countdown [/LIST] Given your admission that your previous "8 second" comment was an estimate, I think I now need to ask what your measurement methodology is. Don't get me wrong: your questions are very reasonable, and there [I]will[/I] be a delay introduced by MediaPortal. I just think that if we're going to get into comparitive measurements, a consistent methodology is a necessity. [/QUOTE]
