Hi!
First, this is a great app, but I'm having some problems thatm aybe
someone can help me with. I'm running the current build of the mvpmc code.
Generally they both work just fine. But after a random period of time
of use (can be a half hour, can be a few hours, but more the former
than the latter), I get stuttering of the video/audio. I have two
mvpmc devices, one wireless, one not and it's true for both of them
(even when one is running when the other one is not).
When I look at the on screen display the demux info shows that the
video (and audio) buffer is empty. If I pause the mvpmc, the buffer
fills back up and it works for a few seconds, and then back to stuttering.
Most of the time a complete power down of the device and reboot
appears to fix it at least for a while.
The service it's pulling data from is effectively without load. I
used to get some skipping whenever mythtv started a new recording,
but an update of the mvpmc fixed it (I saw that a fix had been
posted). This appears unrelated to that, as the problem occurs even
when there's nothing scheduled in myth. watching directly from myth
appears to be ok.
the server is running at 1 GB, and it's running the WD "Green"
drives. While they're not supposed to be the greatest performers in
the world, they should be able to handle the streaming of 5 mb/sec or
so that the demux for the mvpmc shows. Their max is 3 Gb/s, and
that's almost 1000 times faster than I'm looking for. the CPU never
shows any load (I don't think I've ever seen the load over about 1 under top)
the only other thing on the system is zoneminder and a video capture
card. I've wondered if that was it (resource or performance
conflict), but the problem appears even with zoneminder disabled.
Any ideas? Heat, buffering, and memory leaks are all I can think of.
Thanks
Rick
