Hi there,

Have you tried putting the source on your client (to rule out the server and network)?

Yes I did. But since the issue is random, maybe I should try again.

OK, I tried putting the source video's on my HTPC. No problems at all!

So it is not a problem on the HTPC side.

So it must be the network card or router, I think.

I'm using a standalone NIC on my server, and I'm using the onboard NIC on my HTPC. My router is a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND.

Any suggestions?

Yeah, a couple of suggestions:

1. Disable IPv6 in the NIC properties.
2. Add the TV Server hostname to the hosts file on the client (link).

Hi,

I tried both options, but both of them made no difference.

Difficult and annoying problem.

Any more suggestions plz?!



I'm gonna try this guide, see if this helps:
Windows 7 Network Slow - 6 Easy Ways to Make it Fast

I followed that guide, but still no improvements!

Who has the solution for this problem?

Hi there,

Have you ruled out your switch/router? Try using a crossover cable between your server and client?

Have you tried disabling SMB2? (What is your Server?)

Have you done any network tests between the two devices? Dropped packets, CRC errors, latency issues?

Is there anyway you cn install MePo client on your server?

Hi,

I tried to connect my onboard NIC instead of the PCI one. I played 1 movie and it played without any frame drops. So I hope this is the solution.

Only drawback is, that the onboard NIC doesn't support WOL. And the pci NICdoes support WOL. So that means I have to get a switch, or a better PCI NIC (but which one is good without issues).

I'm planning to buy this card: INTEL PRO 1000CT PCI-E Adapter Desktop GbE Bulk

Is that a good choice?

My server is more like a desktop with lots of storage. I have windows 7 installed.

What program can I use to check for dropped packages etc?

After a restart of HTPC and SERVER, everything is playing flawless again. Strange :?

Rather than doing that, I concur with Jay_UK - install the MP client on the server and see if you get stutter viewing TV on the server.
