[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1233367, member: 82144"] I personally haven't received any PM, but either way, I don't think there's much more that I can offer you. Owlsroost is the expert when it comes to problems with client-side playback. As I've previously said, I don't read too much into this. This is partially right and partially wrong. Yes, MediaPortal has a service ("TV Server" / "TVService") and a client ("MediaPortal"). Yes, the service is capable of receiving RTSP, RTP, HTTP and UDP streams. [B] No[/B], the service does not [I]normally [/I]use RTSP between client and server[B] unless the client and server are on different machines[/B] (ie. what we call a multi-seat installation). Normally when the client and server are installed on the same machine the server writes the stream to files on disk (timeshift files / buffer), the client reads those files, and RTSP is not involved. This makes zero sense. Streaming server is a server component, not a client component. Furthermore, if the appliance were producing a good stream, the "fault-tolerant machanism" would be irrelevant. Again, I don't read much into this. The stream from TV Server is almost a simple proxy of the stream from your appliance. If VLC can play the stream directly from the appliance then it's no surprise that it can also play TV Server's stream. In my opinion the focus should be squarely on the ability of MediaPortal [client] to play the stream. Only the client has to demux and decode the video and audio content, so only the client will be able to determine whether the appliance is producing a reasonable stream. Doubt it. You're welcome to try it though. This forces MP client to use the server's RTSP stream rather than reading directly from the time-shift files. It's more error prone and therefore [B]I do not recommend it[/B]. [/QUOTE]
