First, I'm posting it here in generel talk because I am not sure if this is Mediaportal related or just an issue with my network settings.
I am having trouble with the new release (actually it was there before too) when watching LiveTV.
I get stuttering and choppy video and audio. It doesn't seem to happen on my server, so it could be networking problems, but I have no problems streaming recorded TV or other stuff from the server.
I have slightly different problems on my wired client and on my wireless laptop.
On the Wired client I have perfectly fine playback until the moment where the Timeshift Buffer creates a second file(when the first one reaches its limit) as I have also described in the other thread, Timeshift Buffer file size. Sometimes this introduces a couple of seconds of stutter, and then plays normally, until next time the file is full and it repeats. But most of the time, after the second file has been created, i get stutter all the time with a few seconds between.
I tried raising and lowering the size of the timeshift buffer. I can confirm that it is at the same moment the next file is created, the stutter begins.
On the Laptop, I get stutter all the time when watching liveTV but when watching a recording or video from the server I have no problems.
If I start a recording and then (when it is still recording) access the stream I get stutter the same way. If I start a recording and (when it is still recording) goes to "Recorded TV" and plays the recording, I can play it fine without stuttering - even though this is still "almost live".
Because of this it seems to me that I have some problem with the Timeshift Buffer when streaming over the network, but I can't figure out what it can be.
I have tried both with and without Windows Firewall, and there is no difference.
I attached two sets of logs. The one with "_stutter" at the end is where I set the TImeshift buffer size to 32mb, and watched some tv with stutter. The one with "_no_stutter" is where I set the Timehift buffer size to 1000mb and watched tv without stutter. The logs are all from my wired client.
I have looked at the logs and although I have no idea what most of it means, nothing strikes me as being "out of the ordinary", but perhaps someone else can see something.
