[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1173588, member: 82144"] I think you may have misunderstood what I was trying to say. There are at least 3 connections between MediaPortal and TV Server: [LIST=1] [*].NET remoting - used for command and control (eg. start time-shifting channel XYZ). [*]Database - used for retrieving data (eg. get the list of available channels). [*]RTSP or SMB/UNC - used for streaming live TV and recordings. [/LIST] All of what you've been saying seems to relate to the 3rd connection, whereas I'm primarily concerned with the 1st and 2nd connections. I'm ignoring the 3rd connection because your videos show that the problem happens even when you're not streaming live TV or recordings. Yes, I understand. Plugins can affect the GUI display/responsiveness when their background operations (eg. TV plugin .NET remoting "heart-beat" connection to TV Server) are running slower than normal. To be clear, the sorts of things I'd suggest you do are: [LIST] [*]check Windows task manager and resource monitor on both client and server for high CPU, HDD or network usage [*]check if [temporarily] disabling firewalls and/or any other network security software on client and server makes any difference [*]check the server ping and nslookup responses and timing from the client [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
