[QUOTE="Cordraconis, post: 1197436, member: 159447"] I will jump in on this also, as I have the same stuttering problem, so maybe I can help finding out. (It is not related with my Tuner card instability - which I hope somebody will look into eventually.) Right now I have changed from the LAV codec to the microsoft one, changed interlacing settings around, framerates etc... so maybe we can agree on a baseline for testing? The problem is in general with how the client part plays the video: recorded TV plays fine in VLC player, but in MP2 it stutters. I noticed MP2 does interlacing and disabling it in the LAV codec improved matters some. Enabling it in VLC player (many options there) gives mixed results. It is NOT related to processing power: I maxed out all cores and even the GPU at the same time with a mining program and impressively VLC player gets by on the hyperthreading part (=unused part) of the CPU alone. With full GPU-load there are some in-frame glitches dough. No stuttering. After many hours of poking around in the firewall, I finally connected a client on my laptop to the HTPC server: same stuttering on the laptop. I even managed to siphon off the RTSP stream of the active TV tuner card to a VLC player on my laptop: No stuttering, and a bit more details, again because of no deinterlacing. And it it a 6-year old laptop, so again not CPU related. F10 is informative on both HTPC and laptop, and going trough the F11 switches gives Vsync as winner, but still no sigar. questions or tips?
