He is a dedicated mediportal tv server in the study. he is connected via a 100mb router to yhe HTPC: a [URL="http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/msi-mega-180-mini,763.html"]MSI Mega 180[/URL] with a single stick of 1gb DDR400 ram and Pornulator who is a monster. Everything works ok, weather, streaming music, video etc, all fine. Except when i try to use the tv. very rarely it works, just, massive stuttering while it's windowed, then when i go full screen it's ok. most of the time i get the first frame and nothing, sometimes i get video but no sound. the first frame can be of the correct channel or just black. Media portal does not hang, it is still responsive, just, about 1 sec between cursor movements, and if i turn off the tv it is responsive again but the network traffic persists, and doesn't stop until i restart MyWatchey (if i restart the client, MrWatchey continues to stream data). The problem appears on both clients, the htpc and Pornulator so i deduce it's not an issue with the client. i ran perfmon on Mrwatchey Whilst tv on i get Ave Disk Queue length 0.18 Pages per sec 22 % cpu time 1.7 looking at the network performance it sits at 5% whilst streaming. I have tried: using a dedicated disk for timeshift dvbfix is installed changing all maner of codecs on both clients I only run one client at a time only running with one tv card in (tried both cards) Running without the doors on MrWatchey (in case heat was an issue) havn't yet tried: using a crossover cable rather than going through the router, but i think that will not be the problem as it plays movies fine. Turning off windows firewall Attached is the logs for the tv server. I cleaned out the logs. what you see here is startup, playing some music, then a client requesting a feed from abc2 at 21:10 i got a black screen for 10secs then vision came in very very very stutterery, sound was fine. i went to full screen it was much better maybe a little stuttering every 5 secs I then brought up the in screen channel change via the mce remote and selected channel 7 it worked too, which was unusual i switched to ABC1 and now no sound Switched back to ABC2 still no sound (it had sound before) turned the tv off and zipped up the logs I notice MrWatchey is still showing a constant stream of network traffic despite the tv being off. SO my issues are: Sound drops and never comes back Massive stuttering while the menu is up (in screen or windowed) Mild to massive stuttering when it does work. When i installed it, the autoscan worked ok with a signal strength of 75-100% Let me know if you need any other details [/QUOTE]
