[QUOTE="jestermgee, post: 511885, member: 68298"] Just to update my experience with the jumping video... There were 2 reasons I found that I was experiencing jumpy video on the clients. 1. - Crappy, Cheap Network Switch! I have a my 4 port ADSL modem connected to an 8 port switch in the lounge that connects a number of devices (HTPC, PS3, DVR, Wireless Access Point) After running the connection straight into the HTPC, the small skips seemed to dissapear. Only the occasional skip was experienced. I will now replace this switch with a new one. 2. - Auto Defrag Application on server I have "Smart Defrag" installed on my server to keep my recording and downloading drives in top condition. I had it configured to defrag all my drives automatically when the server was running under 30% utilization. When the defrag would kick in I would experience very bad skips. This has now been disabled and I run only scheduled defrags early int he morning. The only thing I am yet to now solve is the comskip issue but that will be solved soon I am sure. [/QUOTE]
