Hi,

When I choose to view recorded TV (.TS) file in MediaPortal I can see image stattering, it'll go smooth and then loose some frames and then do it again and again.
I manually run TS file in VLC on the same computer and it works fine with now stattering and very smooth. I use HTPC to output to external display 1920x1080.
Is there some configuration in MediaPortal whcih is causing it?

check if TsWriter.log is showing discontinuity errors when recording.

ok, the file itself looks good (no dropped packets). could you try if the stuttering happens with lower screen resolution (800x600 for example) as the display adapter you are having is pretty low end one.

My plasma TV will not accept any other resolution then 1920x1080, I moved MediaPortal to secondary display which is 1024x768 and sttuttering still happening. As I said there is no issues watching TS file direcly in VLC player, so I don't think issue is with hardware. This also happens when I wath live TV as well.

If you are still seeing this issue, try to uninstall cccp and use ffdshow tryout instead.
I had the exact problem, and it went away after I removed all my codec packs...
