Stutter when server being used

[ydekmekji]

I've noticed that when my son is playing on the pc that hosts NextPVR and I'm steaming through the iOS app, the display stutters. Is there a way to protect and prioritize the connection between my app and the pc, and keep the streaming strong? If so, how do I do that? I want to prioritize my streaming over his playing.

Streaming won't be the issue ffmpeg needs a lot of CPU. If your backend is compatible consider h/w encoding.

In config.xml look for libx264

for Intel Quicksync change it to: h264_qsv
for nVidia NVENC change it to: libnvenc

Light usage on the PC shouldn't upset things. If he's gaming or something doing something that uses a heap of CPU, all bets are off.

I can try adding a setting in config.xml for the next build to bump up the priority of the transcoder.

His gaming is minecraft.... which takes up more CPU or memory power than I would have thought

I think I have quick sync so I edited the config file. Regardless, changing it to high priority seemed to do the trick. I found a way to try to keep it in that mode permanently so hopefully that should help me out. Thanks!
