Screen goes green, when watching h264 (1 Viewer)

[Nicoolai]

Hi,
I recently turned my singleseat into a multiseat.
Server is running on my Windows server, and the client now (only) runs the client.
But, as a result, whenever I watch h264 files, the screen will often turn green, for a few seconds. The exact same hardware did not have this problem, when I ran it all on the same machine.

Can this happen due to packet loss, or other network related issues?
I am running it on a wired gigabit network.

I am not sure, if the server causes it, or the client.
I assume the hardware requirements for the server, are minimal. It doesn't do any encoding/decoding does it? Doesn't it just "forward" the stream it recieves?

I have IP-TV, so no turner cards.

Which video codec do you use?
Try to turn off DXVA and see if it helps..

The server usually don't need much power, all decoding is done by the clients.

I installed SAF5, and I am using Cyberlink 10 as h264 codecs.
I will try to disable DXVA.

SAF6 is out for a long time coming with LAVF.
