[QUOTE="malgod, post: 151467, member: 25006"] MediaPortal Version: 0.2.2.0 (any recent SVN) MediaPortal Skin: BlueTwo Windows Version: Windows XP SP2 CPU Type: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ or 3800+ Motherboard Chipset: nForce4 Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 7600 GT Video Card Driver: ForceWare 93.71 Sound Card: VIA Envy24 MPEG2 Video Codec: Occurs with any/all MPEG2 Audio Codec: Occurs with any/all Remote: MCE remote Hi all, Was hoping somebody else had encountered this problem and might have a fix (I've searched the forums but can't find anything that exactly matches the issue). I've been using MediaPortal for around a year and a half now, and since I switched to a server/client setup (with files stored on the server and played back on a MediaPortal client machine) I've been having issues streaming XviD/DivX videos across a network. The problem is that the video temporarily freezes at regular intervals; the audio keeps playing, but the video literally just stops for 10-15 seconds, then starts up again. The error doesn't occur at all when watching video stored on the playback machine, or when playing video over the network outside of MP (ie. in Media Player Classic/Windows Media Player 9/10/11). I've been trying to solve the issue for months, and attempted every solution to a related problem posted on the support forum, including rolling back to earlier Nvidia drivers, using only the XviD codec, making sure my network drivers were up to date, moving video files to another machine on the network to test if it was the server's NIC, changing the network switch and the router, mapping and not mapping network drives, rebuilding another machine for media playback (with a completely different NIC), adding more RAM, trying different graphics cards, buying a NAS box and trying to stream from that, telling mplayer2.exe to cache 30 seconds of video and more stuff which I've probably forgotten. I'm fairly certain that it's an issue with the way mplayer2.exe reads files off the network. Has anyone experienced similar problems, or think of any other way to fix this? (Incidentally, I've also got an Xbox running XBMC on the same network, and the problem doesn't occur on it.) Thanks, mal [/QUOTE]
