[QUOTE="Mike Doughney, post: 920625, member: 126999"] After months of reliable live TV, my client-server setup (version 1.2.3.0) started stuttering every 15-30 seconds, and occasionally stopping for no obvious reason as you describe. I also saw some of the "Vid/Ref... Compensated" and other audio/video synch errors in the client-side logs. The solution was to disable Windows Defender on the server side; an update to the Defender definitions during the month of September causes the problem. (Using System Restore to reset to beginning of September fixes MP; starting Windows Defender to disable it re-installs the updates and breaks MP again; disabling the program permanently fixes MP again. Turning off Defender real-time protection does NOT fix the problem.) Since I don't need Windows Defender's functionality (and have otherwise avoided using any unnecessary programs on the server side), I disabled it completely. It's not clear from your log if this directly applies to your setup, but you might give this a shot, and of course, others with new stuttering problems should try this.
