But might I suggest a quick test to assist with troubleshooting, should you have the time and wherewithal (don't give up just yet!): Basically try using your TV Server as a single seat unit and see what playback results you get, hence completely ruling out any network and/or client issues. I've seen the same issue on some clients as you mentioned (dropping 1 frame every second). For me this was caused by windows 7 services and software and purely by trial and error, removing unwanted software and disabling unneeded services on my clients fixed this. Without knowing your clients' hardware specs it's impossible to know if they're the cause of your problem or not. Basically, I suspect 1 dropped frame per second could be caused by network traffic, broadcasting, or software activity - something along those lines. Also, have you tried setting MediaPortal's priority to "High" on your clients? Good luck! Si [/QUOTE]
