RAID Setup Benefits (1 Viewer)

[shred444]

the indexing service was a good idea. i removed it, but still no luck.


as far as the intervideo codec....i do not have that option under decoders.

i found this thread: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/viewtopic.php?t=541

i will try to download those decoders and codecs and see if that has any effect.



any other ideas?

DON'T mess your system with more codecs than you need!

You SHOULD have the codecs I mentioned BY THE DEFAULT Hauppauge installation. You must have something setup wrong.

Seems that you are having SATA HD. Try to get hold on normal PATA IDE disk and put recording / timesifting folder on that hard disk. There have been issues with some motherboard SATA controllers and tv cards.

interesting - (my old 120GB SATA and old Chaintech Zenith are fine together ...)

I can attest to that, my nforce3 mobo absolutely refused to play with my 160 Gb Maxtor, known issues with that chipset/drive combination. Should do a google on your sata chipset and drive manufacturer +issues or +problems.

Yep, recording tv streams to some earlier SATA drives causes issues and results in tuttering.

Also, the Defrag was a good idea. Win XP doesn't handle lots of constantly changing large files. Don't be surprised if you have something like 80-90% fragmentation. I run a scheduled task that turns on the PC every third night and runs a complete defrag. If you are going to reformat the drive then a good tip is to set the cluster sizes to maximum on the recording drive.

shred444: still have the problem?

I would search more in and around MP. An actual disk shouldn't have any problem to work flawlessly under MP when working normal.

Two things I had recently that caused stuttering:

- problem when reading EPG. MP doesn't realize the the current EPG is up to date and reads it in again and again. (Reading in EPG causes stuttering at least for me)

- for some reason I got lost of the "wheatheroverlay.xml". MP wrote an error mesage roundabout 10.000 times in the log. Which caused stuttering and a log of 5 MB.

Did you check your log for 'exceptions'. Can you post your log somewhere?

thanks+regards
