I also get a bit of stuttering mid way through what ever I am watching, again they have attributed this to network problems, I am running the latest version of media portal with only a few plugins installed, on a clean install of windows XP - the only stuff on the 120GB HD is WinXP and MediaPortal.At current I have two boxes that do everything in my house FILESEV (The File Server + Torrent machine) and MEDSEV (The Box that sits under my TV).I have around 6TB of recorded TV and Ripped DVDs. They are all saved over a few hard drives on the fileserver, which is running Vista (Suprisingly in week long tests was the most stable and easy to use with regards to file sharing). I use MPTV to organise all of my TV in to episodes. The Fileserver also acts as a torrent box, downloading Linux Distros and various amounts of music and TV, I do Seed a fair bit with my upload always being around 200kbps. Both machines are connected to a Netgear Router / Modem along with a few laptops that connect via wifi. The majority of my stuff is XVID and hence each episode is around 200 - 500mb so nothing huge, I certainly am not streaming HD. Both machines are using the onboard LAN.Now I was wondering what could be causing the stuttering, it must be the network, if I transfer an episode to MEDSEV built in hard drive it plays perfectly and the sync is perfect. As soon as I stream it there is a tiny delay on the audio and the video stutters once or twice.Does anyone have any ideas for my set up ?</blockquote>
