Some hours of RTSP.
LiveTV freezes and shows a lot of artifacts (6 Viewers)

Attached is an *experimental* TsReader.ax which is more aggressive about reading data from local disks and via UNC paths (SMB).
Please give it a try and report back
1 GBit Ethernet.
Attached latest logs. We are watching KiKa HD with glitches every few seconds/minutes. So i thought lets upload some logs.
Should i test you experimental tsreader, too?

Yes please.
You seem to be getting a lot of (probably) dropped RTSP packets - creating the continuity errors, far more than I get on my test system with both server and client connected using WiFi (and this is with a cheap router and USB WiFi dongle at the server). I would expect a full wired Gb Ethernet network to be rock-solid with almost zero UDP (RTSP) packet loss.
Attached logs with 1 hour live tv without any issues. Sure i will do some more tests.
Never faced Network issues jet, what doesnt mean there is none. My house was build about 1 year ago, so i d expect the
cables to be ok. ( Cat 6 ) Is there a tool you would recommend to check the Network? I could use a long crossed cable
to get a direct client cerver connection for a short test i think.
Could try other nics. Got 2 Intel pcie nics, did not use them since my Intel Mainboards come with an Intel nic.

Might be worth a try - if only to check out the router/switch performance
I ran live TV via RTSP (over WiFi) tonight for over 2 hours and got about 50 'Video Continuity errors' in the log (plus some audio errors). Some of those were server TV reception errors, and this was with an email client checking for mail every 5 minutes and a nearby microwave oven running for some of the time (which I know interferes with WiFi reception). So overall, in difficult circumstances, it did pretty well - not good enough for serious use (for me anyway) but about as good as I would expect using WiFi - and it's a better test environment for TsReader error handling than a 'reliable' network
There are some software tools to check your connection, many modern mainboards have one integrated in their BIOS/UEFI.
But, I don't think they are reliable.
I would recommend you to buy something like this. In my opinion it's an irreplaceable helper in a networked home.
