Stuttering Live TV and Recordings with TV-Server 1.0.1 and AMD 780G (2 Viewers)

[CCob]

Could it be you signal quality, if it's also in the recording it could well mean it's within the stream because of signal quality. Try AltDVB, DVDDream or similar to see if you see the same problems in them.

I'm not sure on who's post you answered, but i have picture artefacts LIKE signal is low, but other programs like AltDVB, DvbDream AND MediaPortal with TVE2 has no that issue, picture is clear and smooth.

So, i suppose some data packets are loosed in communication from new TV server to MediaPortal Client...

i had a problem like this also looks like poor signal but signal in other dvb programs was ok
fixed it by moving the timeshift folder to another drive

cani disable timeshift at all? or force it to use RAM instead of HDD ? i had no other drive currently to test it :|

yes google ramdisk there are a few, but you will need to dedicate about a gig to the ramdisk to be safe i would have thought.

If you adjust the timeshift buffer size down to the minimum a 200-300MB ram disk is OK.

that would only give bout 10-20mins, bit risky if u took a phone call.

i don't care about timeshifting, i just want to eliminate picture issues on live tv thanx for advices

If you are running a single-seat system, you may find that TV runs more smoothly using this https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/newcomers-forum-240/msloopback-device-singleseat-users-51028/ instead of having TV server associated with the normal LAN connection.

For RAMdisk software try Software/RAMDisk - Products & Services - Dataram (free for up to 4GB) or search for the freeware 'Gavotte ramdisk'.

Thanks for advices, i tried both but still no good picture.

Than i done 2 more things, increase increase CPU clock from 1.6 to 2.2Ghz (even if my CPU usage was only about 20% on HD channels), and use mysql instead of (sh*tty) mssql and i got much improvements! Stutering occurs sometime, but rely rare comparing to previous.

Than i'm back CPU to 1.6 and got a bit more stuttering on HD, but still without it on SD channels (better than before).

So, my conclusion is that both of this things affects picture quality on TVE3. suppose it would work without issues on some dual core cpu, or at about 2.8Gz Single Core...
