Would you download the files in the nasa.gov link I posted and see how they run on your setup? They are only 2+ min long and the jerkiness I noticed was in the first 20 sec when the bitrate spiked. My server is a Thecus N5200 with fast Seagate drives in RAID5, so it should handle it fine, but if they play seamlessly on your setup, I'll do some more testing. bklaas;380221 Wrote: > Good to hear someone is getting 1080p from PCH.

Like Squeeze > devices I suppose, everything depends on network conditions :) my network is robust, but I do have a linksys router neutered to a switch in the path I tested with. I'll pull that and try again. Also, can test with the files on something other than the Thecus, but it should have plenty of throughput to stream the files. I like the PCH, for the price it's hard to beat and the user community is pretty strong. I doubt you'd lose much $ if you bought one and had to resell it later. -- twylie Thecus N5200 -> transporter -> Krell KRC2 -> 4 x nuforce 8b -> Von Schweikert VR-4 Gen III Thecus N5200 -> SB3 -> Monarchy DIP -> Monarchy Super DIP -> Monarchy 18b -> AES 845 monos -> Sonus Faber Concertos / Audio Physic Sparks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ twylie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=956 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57710 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
