Hello -- I've been using the VLC streaming feature on and off during last year. Most videos my old server was not able to transcode in real time, so with only the lowest video settings I was able to watch some stuff. I have been using mvpmc as Mythfrontend successfully - over 100MBit-Ethernet as well as 85MBit-Powerline adaptors.
I have no more Mythtv, but a newer vlc box, based on a recent Core Duo Intel processor. I've noticed VLC streaming is unusable, although the server seems to be very relax at about 10%. Network does not seem to be an issue either, because I can watch multiple concurrent movies via it. It may not be at the advertised 85Mbps, but it seems plenty fast. Mvpmc clearly cannot buffer enough video to make it run smooth, when showing buffers at the OSD there's hardly anything visible. It says the stream is at around 1.5-2 Mbps When telnetting into the mvpmc-Box and running top I noticed that the mvpmc task seems very processor hungry, hanging at 60-70% all the time. I tried mvpmc 0.3.3 and 0.3.4, the server runs debian etch. What can I try?
