It is the responsibility of the machine that displays the video to decode it. In other words, when a client connects to an external server, the server "extracts" the video stream from the tuner and sends it to the client, but it is the *client* that actually decodes the video and displays it (which is the hard part from a CPU perspective). When you view the video on the server, the *server* is both extracting and decoding the video. Since the server is able to deliver the stream to a client without fault, there is clearly a problem with the server's ability to decode the video. That could indicate a codec issue, but it might also indicate a HDD speed issue (writing the stream + reading it back too much for the HDD???) or video card driver issue (DxVA broken - this *can* happen). I advise you to try other codecs (maybe FFDShow, CoreAVC... there are plenty of options these days) and run some diagnostics on your server's timeshifting HDD.mm
