Continuity Errors on NAS (1 Viewer)

[The_Stig]

Hey guys,

I know this seems to be a common problem, but maybe you have ideas to test for me. Since I moved my recordings folder from a local hdd to my NAS (all connected via GB-LAN) I get loads of Continuity Errors on TSWriter so recordings are pixelated.

Is the only chance for me to move to local hdd again or are there ways to get it maybe going?

I am glad for every idea...

Hello

It isn't the only chance, but you may have to do it in the end.

You need to be certain that the problem is related to the use of the NAS rather than signal strength/quality. After that I would start to test DPC latency and/or with security software disabled. You're looking for issues with latency. Gigabit speed will not help if the latency is up the creek.

I am a 100%. No problems at all when recording to local SSD.

with security software disabled

No security software installed on htpc.

start to test DPC latency

Will do and report back!

Thanks for you constructive hints as always!!!

Hrm, DPC latency check is around 1000 ms, absolute max currently 1251. But is this really helpful? Wouldn't I have to check somehow the connection to the NAS?

Really?!?
That seems very high.
What OS are you using? ...and which tool are you checking with?

First you have to check that the NIC driver is okay... and then you can consider the connection to the NAS. If the NIC driver is not okay then it doesn't matter how good the connection to the NAS is.

if searching for configuration and software issues not leading you to success...

my little tip here... remember the cables not as last point on the list... especcially if there are cat5 utp in your network... there is a little historic trap with them... mostly fitting for daily home and office use without noticeable problems, it turns out when constant dataflow is urgently needed...

must not be the issue... but i saying this due to repeated experience...

good luck and best regards

Is high good or bad? ;-) I guess bad... Checked with DPC Latency Checker.

It is. Double checked and reinstalled now Same result.

EDIT: Ah...no, this isn't ms, but - what is it - microsecond?

EDIT 2: Hrm, on my WLAN-Notebook, its only around 200...so its really extremly high...

Yes, bad.

Checked with DPC Latency Checker.

Okay... and the OS is...? It's important, because DPCLC doesn't report correct times for W8.

 

[The_Stig]

Win 8.1

Latencymon shows on current measured 20-100 ms (ok I know this isn't ms ;-) and highest 127...so I guess this is ok?
