[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1173779, member: 82144"] Thanks for the update. :) The more I read, the more I think either: [LIST=1] [*]The compute stick is simply not powerful enough to handle TV with MP, OR... [*]Something - such as non-optimal configuration, or another process such as Windows Defeneder - is overloading the compute stick in some way, such that the network connection drops etc. [/LIST] This is just speculation based on my "gut feeling". I hope we'll find a real answer eventually... :) Could you please add a screenshot of the LAV video codec settings? I'd like to know what hardware acceleration (DXVA) setting you're using. Can you configure it not to do real time scanning? ...or can you configure it to trust MP? To be clear, I'm not saying Windows Defender is [I]the[/I] problem (or even [I]a[/I] problem). I just recognise that if the stick's resources are overloaded then it has no hope of playing TV smoothly. I meant that it wasn't clear what MP was doing when you took the screenshots. So, I couldn't know if you were attempting to stream TV etc. Again, from my perspective the main point of using task manager is to check that the stick's resources[I] [/I]are not overloaded [I]while streaming TV[/I]. If you only check when MP is idle then it doesn't give a true picture of the situation. Hmmm. So, in general this is a [I]slightly[/I] better result compared to the HD channel, right? Yeah, that's understood. :( Some other things that I think would be worth trying... [LIST] [*]try UNC paths rather than RTSP for streaming ([URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/MediaPortal_Configuration/22_TV/Advanced_Options']wiki[/URL]) [*]try to copy SD and HD TV recordings to the compute stick's HDD and check if the compute stick can play them smoothly (if it can't, we might suspect the network is not the primary problem) [*]try channels/recordings with MPEG 2 video (if you have them) instead of h.264 video (if this makes a difference, we might suspect the load from decoding the video is overloading the CPU or GPU (...or maybe thermal throttling is occurring) [*]install [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/mp-1-13-final-freezes-available-bin-to-test-in-first-post.133166/']this patch[/URL] [/LIST] ...and anything relating to network security on both client and server (eg. firewalls, network security monitors etc.) is worth checking.
