After playing with mediaportal streaming TV for about a month and finally given up, I decided to give NPVR a go. So far I have had much more success than with mediaportal. Video quality is great from my server streaming to clients. Mediaportal was plagued with many problems including stuttering/stalling video which always forced a restart of their tv service (in another room).
I have one problem though. I cannot change channels (or sometimes navigate the guide while tv is playing) without NPVR semi-crashing. (I say semi crashing because the program itself does not crash, just the stream stalls and I get the message "The tuner being used for live tv is no longer available")
The great thing about this problem is that I can always go access the guide and start the live tv again and it starts no problem, avoiding the trip to the other room.
Setup details:
Server
Athlon 64 3200
2gb ram
ATI TV Wonder HD 750
MSI TV Anywhere Plus
Client
Athlon II X3 3ghz
4gb ram
I have tried some different decoders, problem occurs on all.
Current Decoder: V: MS A: MS
Tried: V: FFDshow, Arcsoft, Cyberlink, A: FFDshow, Arcsoft, Cyberlink, MCP
I have applied patches.
Log file attached.
Any ideas that would help remedy this?
Thank you in advance.
