[QUOTE="jestermgee, post: 866449, member: 68298"] I have had this issue for a long time and only rediscovered it after issues when I upgraded my server and ran tests with my laptop. My system only uses MP for live TV. I run a dual tuner in my server with multiple clients connecting.I have a dedicated 7200rpm drive for the timeshift and recording. I have always used the UNC method for streaming live TV and recordings but when rebuilt my server and upgraded MP I reinstalled MP on my laptop to test with and started having a range of issues streaming. I also removed the MP server and installed 4TR as the tuner and had the same issues with the client: - Channels would not connect to server (Tuner Failed) - Trying to connect channel several times would eventually connect - When a channel connects it would have a LOT of breaks and glitches in the stream (several a minute) - Changing channels would take 10-20 seconds - When changing channels sometimes signal would be lost - When changing channels sometimes MP would freeze My system was working 100% previous to my upgrade on my HTPC so I couldn't figure out what the hell was wrong. I formatted the recording drive, stopped every running service on the server and tested and re-tested the antenna cable with no success. I then tested my HTPC connection and it was fine: - All channels connected to server - Channel flipping was about 3-5 seconds between different transponders,about 2 seconds on the same transponder - No glitches or skips - No lockups - All channels could be scrolled through without issue. I then remembered the edit I had made to the mediaportal.xml when I setup my HTPC to set UNC streaming and when I applied this to my laptop machine all the issues disappeared. I have done some reading and can't find any real issues others seem to be having so I wondered is there issues or a reason I might be having these issues. I don't mind using the UNC method but am curious. [/QUOTE]
