Hi , I'm having another crack at TVServer. So far going really well but I have a problem with streaming DVB video from my skystar 2 satellite card. I also have an analog Hauppauge 150 mpeg card(Using STB plug-in with SVHS input). The analog is fine. The problem occurs both with a local client and a network client. When in MP the video is smooth for a few secs and stops for a split second and starts again. In VLC I see corrupt video. (sort of like a bad mpeg file; gets chunky and broken for a split second at a time (Image attached).)

I get strange messages from VLC like so:

mpeg_audio debug: free bitrate mode
mpeg_audio debug: frame too big 489 > 488 (emulated startcode ?)
mpeg_audio debug: emulated startcode
main warning: output date isn't PTS date, requesting resampling (-40564)
main warning: buffer is 112563 in advance, triggering downsampling
main debug: decoded 106/108 pictures
ts warning: discontinuity received 0x7 instead of 0xb (pid=48)
ts warning: discontinuity received 0x8 instead of 0x2 (pid=64)
mpeg_audio debug: emulated startcode (no startcode on following frame)
mpeg_audio debug: emulated startcode (no startcode on following frame)
main debug: control type=1
main warning: audio drift is too big (-393313), clearing out
main warning: timing screwed, stopping resampling
main warning: mixer start isn't output start (-18912)
main warning: audio drift is too big (-393147), clearing out

Any idease of what I could try to fix this? I really want to move to TVServer

I've just set up MP and I must admin I'm very impressed so far.

I'm having this issue also. Avermedia MCE A180 getting a slight stutter. Also, so far I have NO audio. But I'm still looking into that.

My issues seem to have gone away now and I think it may have something to do with the skystar2 driver I'm now using. I switched from the WDM driver to the beta BDA driver. Give it a go, it seems much better.

The distortion looks exactly the same as i had.
In my case they were caused by a DECT handset. Also WLAN routers or cell phones can cause this.
