Hi there,
I am using MP with a dedicated TV server and multiple clients over a 100Mbps LAN. This setup has a strange behavior when watching TV that was not present with my previous single-seat installation. My problem occurs when watching timeshifted TV with lets say 20 minutes lag (maybe more), and pressing "skip +15 seconds" on my remote. Instead of skipping said 15 secs, MP sometimes jumps to the end of the timeshift buffer. When I then try to navigate back to my previous position, pressing "skip -" has no effect at all, the position stays at the end! I have to repeat "skip -" several times until it eventually starts working correctly. At this point I can skip forward and backwards... until the next commercial where the story repeats.
Has anybody experienced this situation as well? As mentioned, it only happens with a dedicated TV server. Is it maybe a timing problem (127.0.0.1 ist much more responsive than a real network...)?
By the way, how does MP TVE3 react when the timeshift buffer gets to its limit, i.e. when I press pause when watching live TV and then leave MP for more than 30 minutes or so?
Regards
Frank
