[QUOTE="homer.web, post: 1113743, member: 150780"] Hello, I am experiencing strange problem with Live TV and Recorded TV playback. I have ZOTAC ZBOX PI320 pico with Windows 8.1 With Bing setup as HTPC. All specs can be seen here: [url]http://www.zotac.com/products/mini-pcs/zbox-p-series/product/zbox-p-series/detail/zbox-pi320-pico-1/sort/starttime/order/DESC/amount/10/section/specifications.html[/url] I have installed Windows Media Pack, MP 1.9 with TV Server, LAV codecs. Everything seems fine, Music plays OK, Movie as well, but I have problems with TV streams. Live or Recorded. After several minutes (5-10 minutes) video starts stutter, but sound is OK. If I pause the stream for several seconds and play it again, the stream usually plays OK for next 5 minutes and that it starts again to stutter. System resources showing very mild utilization of the system when playing the streams (30% CPU, 45% Memory, 1% HDD activity). CPU utilization is on 30% with HW acceleration enabled, without it shows 60%. Even when stuttering the utilization does not change at all. I was tweaking several settings with the filters, acceleration, I was changing TV Server process priority as well, but with no luck. Than I have tried to install XBMC/KODI, configure it to use MP TV Server and try to play Live and Recorded TV. The results are very interesting. Both streams are played very well without any stutter, and what is more interesting the CPU utilization is on half of the utilization obtained by using MP (15%). Also the changing of the channels and playback start of the recorded TV is much faster with XMBC than with MP. Any suggestions? Any help would be very appreciated. I know the solution would be abandon MP and start using KODI, but I would rather stick to MP, which I like and prefer over the KODI. Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
