I tried to play a TV recording (.ts file) on the bedroom set (client) tonight but the showstarted stuttering after a few seconds. I tried a couple of other recorded shows (that I know played previously) and same stuttering issue. So I went to Family room set (also a client) and had same problem. Bedroom client is on ver .150 and Family room client is on .149
I can play DVDs and MKVs fine on both clients so it doesn't look like a network issue. Only the recorded TV shows are broken.
Then I went to Server and tried playing the same .ts shows and they worked fine. So the file itself is not the problem.
I tried switching from RO+HQ to STD on the two clients but that didn't help. Still can't play a recorded TV show on a client machine.
On the Server (with RO+HQ) the display is shown as 60.0Hz and "movie" shows as 59.940 - and the recorded TV show (.ts files) play fine.
On Server with (RO STD) the EVR display shows 48.04 (flucuates a little but stays steady) - and playback is smooth.
On the Clients (RO STD) the EVR frame rate starts at 59 and quickly drops to 32.0 and fluctuates around 30 to 31.78 (starts stuttering after 2 seconds of playing).
On the client (RO+HQ) madVR statistics show dropped frames every couple of seconds, clock deviation -42.xx, no empty queues.
I am running ver .150, I dropped back to version .147 on the client (which I know worked fine) but I still have the same problem. And I know it was working fine under .147 (I don't recall if I played any recorded TV since version .147) so I don't know when this problem came up.
Any ideas? I'll change server back to .147 too and see if that does anything for the client playback.
