MVP Crashes playing back recording

[Rory]

Always seems to happen when I sit down with the kids :confused:
Always seems to be watching Mpegs recorded by GBPVR I took a look in the logs and it always seems to be
2008-03-01 08:05:20.750 VERBOSE [6] MVP waiting for data
2008-03-01 08:05:22.328 VERBOSE [6] MVP connection is gone.
in MVP-PVRX2.exe.log and/or
2008-03-01 07:48:48.609 VERBOSE [6] incremental frame sent
2008-03-01 07:48:48.609 VERBOSE [6] MVP data taking too long, connection must have been dropped!
which is in MVP-PVRX2.exe-1.log
Most of the other stuff that GBPVR does (Live TV and transcoding) works flawlessly
I don't have any other network problems but I realise that TCP-IP is designed to circumvent "hiccups" in the connection.
Basically PVRX2 crashes and normally "Restart Recording Service" gets it going again
I have tried re-installing everything from scratch and all the different dongles, I am now using the normal hauppauge dongle for MVP.
I have tried updating the firmware on my Router (Linksys WRT54GC)
Could it possibly be a dodgy RJ-11 connector, I had a few problems setting up the network in the first place, but all other connections work 100%

Sorry for being pedantic, but RJ-11 is phone cord, and RJ454 is Ethernet/Cat5 connections.

And yes, it could be. Interesting that italways happens on the kids shows...

I would try with a different cable..

Also what is the server used for? Is it busy doing email, web surfing MSN chat, and the like, or just sitting there? What other software is running on the server while you're watching the mps

Have you run any network tweaks to your systems?

Sorry Zehd yes I meant RJ45... *blush*
Nothing is running on the server but the router may be busy ie checking emails, browsing etc (via Wireless) but it will also crash when nothing else is on the system
No network tweaks...
The only thing I forgot to mention network wise was the Intel Pro/100 NIC Card in the server..
I will try another Cat6 patch cable but it has to run 20ft or so, the current one is wired in through the loft...

thanks
