Could someone explain what the difference is in the way a GBPVR PC client handles playback from 'Recordings' and 'Video Library'. If I set the client in question up to look at the same folder for both libraries, the same BBC HD H.264 .ts file plays happily from the Video folder, but stutters severely from the 'Recordings' folder. I've tried setting playback to both streaming and File Share, but it makes no difference.
The client in question is a new Acer Revo R3610 with the Ion 330 GPU. It is using EVR and Windows 7, with the correct codec's (cyberlink) and it plays the .ts files perfectly in PDVD8. The hardware acceleration seems to be working as the cpu load is minimal.
Network bandwith isn't a problem as it's a Gbit lan and the network load on the server is only showing at 20 mb/s. I don't think its a disk bottleneck on the server as 3 NMT's play quite happily together, even whilst the Video Library file is playing.
I've tried installing Hoborg's SAF and it made no difference. I've used graphedit to look at the codec's in use and they appear the same for either source, although I cant get it to report what PDVD8 is using.
Any suggestions where I could start looking for the bottleneck would be gratefully received.
